Wilkinson Sword 1111138WF WS Long Handled Border, Edging Shear, 94x17x4 cm

Product Information

Most other shears have a handle length ranging from 80 – 100 cm and will be suitable for the majority of gardeners. Not sure which of the best garden shears to look for? The planting that you have in your garden will determine which type, or types, of garden shears you should add to your toolkit. The 500E is the slightly smaller version with a 25cm cutting head. However, for larger lawns, there is a bigger more powerful version available with a 30cm head which is the 650E. Short-handled manual shears are one choice for topiary. As long as they are relatively compact, again not exceeding 60 cm, they’ll give sufficient control for basic shapes on medium/large bushes. They tend to be able to cut stalks up to approximately 5 mm in diameter.

If you have just moved house or decided to get more into gardening and want to get kitted out with garden tools, here are the garden shears you should get. If you have wooden handles, treat them with protective oil at the end of each gardening season. This will protect the wood and make garden shears last for a lifetime. These shears have 90 cm long handles that connect to angled carbon-steel blades measuring 23 cm. Therefore, if you have a couple of ‘features’ in your garden, perhaps a bird bath or a fountain which you can’t get close to with the mower, these shears will help get all the grass to the same level.Usually, when you go with a budget gardening tool, you have to expect that you will have to put up with the fact that they aren’t made from the best materials, or the build quality is slightly suspect. Choosing the best lawn edger for you and your lawn will save you time and hard work. All while producing a better result. One downside to telescopic hedge shears is they can feel a little unwieldy – you’ll generally need good upper body strength to control them properly. Many of the best garden shears feature blades made from chrome-plated steel . The benefit of this material is that it holds its sharpness well and won’t rust. Sharp blades are indispensable when it comes to gardening work as clean cuts reduce the likelihood of bacteria entering the plant.

Saturday Delivery Of course, the amount of money you have to spend on a lawn edging tool will ultimately dictate whether you invest in a manual or powered version. You don’t need to spend a fortune on powered machines if you have small lawns. At the same time, don’t buy the wrong product for your large lawn just to save a bit of money. Trust me, what you save in money will cost you in time and sore hands!

My Top Recommended Lawn Edging Shears

If you want to elevate the appearance of your lawn after mowing, you may find that lawn edging shears are what you’ve been missing. At the top of the handles are large, yet soft and comfortable grips made from rubber that are designed to be anti-slip and they work really well. I used these shears without gloves on for a short while and I liked the way they felt in my hands, secure but still comfortable. If you find one of our competitors selling the same product which we sell at a lower price than our price then we will endeavour to match their price!

Just about everything about these edging shears shouts good build quality, from the handles, to the grips, to the blades, but that quality comes at a cost and that cost is manoeuvrability. The first advantage that these edging shears have over their sibling, is that instead of steel, the handles are made from aluminium. In our opinion aluminium is a superior material because it is lighter, doesn’t rust, and doesn’t corrode. At just over 1 kg, you can wield these edging shears all day without worrying about any aches and strains creeping up on you. My initial reaction on pulling these Bahco edging shears out of the box was ‘those blades look good’, which is a good start for any cutting tool review.This product comes with a 12 month ‘no quibble’ guarantee from the makers, which is very good considering the low price of these edging shears.

Manual hedge shears can be used for snipping leaves and small branches. Some manual hedge shears have notches on the blades which can be used for trimming larger branches as well. Bahco tools have a good reputation for quality and value, and their P75 Lawn Edging Shears are no different. Choose shears with long blades of at least 21 cm for large gardens; this way you won’t spend all day edging the lawn. Shorter, 17 – 21cm blades will work well for smaller gardens. However, you should also pay attention to the depth of your verges. The cost of the return of any faulty goods will be borne by Keengardener. We shall be entitled to charge you for the costs of returning goods which are not faulty.

Also, if part of your lawn meets a path or driveway it can be difficult to use a manual tool, especially if that edge is curved. It’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. If you would prefer to have reasonably light shears, that are still robust, you should consider models that weight between 1 – 1.5 kg. There are also lighter shears available on the market, but they may not be as robust or durable. What Type of Blade to Look Out For Even after mowing your lawn from top to bottom, the edges can still look a little wobbly and untidy. You can also get hedge shears with telescopic handles, so you can reach the top of the hedge easier, without needing ladders. The main thing to watch out for, which can’t really be put down as a fault of the shears, is their sharpness. The blades are made from chrome-plated high carbon steel, which doesn’t wear down easily. When cleaning, the blades are sharp enough to easily slice through cleaning cloths, so wearing gloves is essential (as is having your guard about you at all times).
