When detail matters and precision is everything, the Burgon & Ball RHS Precision Shear steps up as the go-to tool for refined hedge work. Designed for gardeners who love clean lines, tidy topiary, and precise shaping, this premium shear offers a whisper-smooth cutting action, light handling, and long-lasting performance.
Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this tool embodies excellence in both craftsmanship and usability. Its super-lightweight 750g frame is made from durable aluminium alloy, significantly reducing strain on arms and shoulders during extended use. Despite the lightweight construction, these shears deliver robust cutting power thanks to razor-sharp, high-carbon steel blades, each precisely shaped and highly pointed to allow for intricate trimming.
The 18cm blade length is perfect for shaping topiary, refining hedge outlines, or tackling stubborn spots in dense shrubs. With an overall length of 65cm, you gain the control and reach needed to sculpt hedges with precision, without overreaching.
A thoughtful angle between the blades and the handles makes it ideal for trimming flat surfaces – so box hedges and formal edges are no match for its performance. Added cushion stops help reduce jarring on the wrists during repetitive snips, and grey rubber grips ensure a comfortable, non-slip hold.
These shears combine style, functionality, and longevity, backed by Burgon & Ball’s heritage since 1730 and a 10-year guarantee on cutting tools. Whether you’re a professional landscaper or a home gardener with a flair for detail, these shears offer a fine blend of power and control.
