FAQs

What type of branches can these hedge shears cut?

These shears are best suited for soft-stemmed plants, bushes, and shrubs. They are not designed for cutting thick or hardwood branches, which can damage the blades.

How often should I sharpen the blades?

The frequency of sharpening depends on usage. For best results, inspect the blades periodically and sharpen them when you notice a decrease in cutting performance, typically after significant use.

Are the handles adjustable?

The handles are ergonomically designed for comfort and are not adjustable. Their fixed design ensures stability and a secure grip.

What is the best way to clean the shears?

Wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth after each use. For tougher residue, use a damp cloth followed by immediate drying. Avoid submerging the shears in water.

Can I use these shears for deadheading roses?

Yes, these shears are effective for deadheading roses and other flowering plants, providing clean cuts that can help promote new blooms.

What maintenance do the wooden handles require?

The wooden handles should be kept clean and dry. Periodically, you can apply a small amount of wood oil to prevent drying and cracking, ensuring their longevity and grip.

Troubleshooting

Blades are sticking or not cutting cleanly.

Clean the blades thoroughly to remove sap and debris. Sharpen the blades with a sharpening stone or file. Ensure the pivot is clean and lubricated.

Handles feel uncomfortable or slippery.

Ensure your hands are clean and dry. If the handles show signs of wear, consider adding a grip enhancer or wrap. The ergonomic design aims to minimize strain, but individual hand comfort may vary.

Rust spots appearing on blades.

Clean the blades immediately and dry them thoroughly. Apply a light coat of lubricating oil to protect the surface. Store the shears in a dry environment.
