The Alpen Pilatus 200 Hedge Shears are designed for professionals and home gardeners seeking a durable and precise trimming tool. Their key benefit lies in the combination of lightweight ergonomic design and robust forged Japanese steel blades capable of cutting branches up to 10mm thick, ensuring both ease of use and long-lasting sharpness. A potential consideration is their weight at 1015 grams, which may require adjustment for extended use.

These shears are designed to cut branches and stems up to 10mm (approximately 0.4 inches) in diameter.

Clean the blades immediately and dry them thoroughly. Apply a rust inhibitor or light oil to the blades. Ensure the shears are stored in a dry environment.
