Burgon & Ball RHS Telescopic Wavy Edged Hedge Shear – Extended Reach Compound Action Shears

The Burgon & Ball RHS Telescopic Wavy Edged Hedge Shear is a versatile, high-reach tool designed for gardeners who need both power and precision at a distance. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, these shears feature a unique compound action that delivers 60% more cutting power than standard models. The specialized wavy-edged blades are engineered to "trap" stems and foliage, preventing them from sliding down the blade when the tool is fully extended, ensuring a clean and efficient cut every time.

Best For: Maintenance of tall or wide hedges where extra reach is required, and for trimming "slippery" foliage like grasses or conifers that tend to slide out of straight blades.

Key Features

• 60% More Cutting Power: The unique compound lever action significantly increases leverage, allowing you to slice through thick, woody stems with minimal physical effort.
• Wavy-Edged Blades: Specialized wavy blades are designed to grip and trap foliage during the cutting stroke, which is especially useful when working at full extension where control is most difficult.
• Telescopic Reach: Features an easy-to-use mechanism that extends the overall length from 65.5cm to 85cm, providing the reach needed for tall hedges or deep garden borders.
• Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Shafts: Constructed for ergonomic overhead work, the lightweight shafts reduce arm and shoulder strain during long trimming sessions.
• RHS Endorsed: This tool meets the exacting quality standards of the Royal Horticultural Society, ensuring professional-grade performance and durability.
