Burgon & Ball RHS Hedge Shear – Double Pivot Compound Action Shears

The Burgon & Ball RHS Hedge Shear is a high-performance tool engineered to make hedge maintenance significantly easier. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, these shears feature a unique double-pivot compound lever action that generates up to 60% more cutting power than standard shears. This mechanical advantage allows for effortless slicing through thick stems and dense foliage, while the lightweight construction ensures that even prolonged overhead work remains comfortable.

Best For: Gardeners seeking a professional-grade shear for shaping hedges and trimming thick-stemmed shrubs with minimal physical effort.

Key Features

• 60% More Cutting Power: The unique double-pivot compound action multiplies your strength, providing the extra leverage needed to cut through stubborn, woody stems that would stall regular shears.
• Hardened High-Carbon Steel: The blades are precision-hardened and tempered to ensure maximum edge retention, staying sharper for longer through seasons of heavy use.
• Non-Stick Upper Blade: The top blade is treated with a specialized non-stick coating to reduce friction, minimize the buildup of sticky sap (gumminess), and make cleaning effortless.
• Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Shafts: Designed for ergonomic overhead work, the lightweight frame reduces arm and shoulder fatigue when trimming high hedges or reaching across wide borders.
• Comfortable Rubber Grips: Ergonomically shaped rubber handles provide a secure, cushioned grip that absorbs shock and minimizes hand strain during repetitive motions.
