What is the purpose of the PTFE coating on the blades?

Are these shears suitable for cutting small branches?
No, these shears are designed specifically for cutting grass and soft plant stems. They are not intended for woody material or branches.
How do I maintain the shears to prevent rust?
After use, clean and dry the blades thoroughly. Apply a light coat of lubricating oil to the blades, especially before storage. Store them in a dry place.
What is the handle length?
The handle length is 915mm (36 inches), providing extended reach for comfortable, upright use.
Can the blades be sharpened?
Yes, the C50 carbon steel blades can be sharpened using a suitable sharpening stone or file designed for garden tools.
Are these shears lightweight?
Yes, the shears are designed to be lightweight yet durable, making them easy to maneuver and reducing user fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Blades are not cutting cleanly
Ensure blades are clean and free of debris. Check for any dullness and sharpen if necessary. Verify that the shears are not being used on material thicker than grass.
Blades are sticking or difficult to close
Clean the blades thoroughly, paying attention to the pivot point. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the pivot and blades. Check for any bent parts that may be causing obstruction.
Rust appearing on blades
Wipe away any rust with a fine steel wool or a rust remover specifically for tools. Clean the blades thoroughly, dry them completely, and apply a protective coat of oil to prevent future rust.
Handles feel uncomfortable or slip
Ensure your hands are clean and dry. If the grips are damaged, consider if they can be replaced or if a different gripping technique is needed. The non-slip grips are designed for firm handling.

Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth to remove grass clippings and sap. For stubborn residue, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and drying.
