Product Information

Full details

The Kent & Stowe SureCut Hedge Shears are designed for home gardeners seeking efficient and comfortable trimming of hedges and shrubs. Their key benefit is maximizing cutting power with reduced effort thanks to the Reflex Energy System and a wavy blade design that prevents slippage. A potential caveat is that they are best suited for light trimming tasks, not heavy-duty branch cutting.

FAQs

What type of steel are the blades made from?

The blades are made from high-quality SK5 carbon steel, coated with Chrome for superior rust protection.

Are these shears suitable for cutting thick branches?

These shears are ideal for light trimming of hedges and shrubs with soft, non-woody stems and leaves. They are not designed for cutting thick or woody branches.

How does the Reflex Energy System work?

The Reflex Energy System is designed to maximize the cutting power of the shears while minimizing the effort required from the user, making each cut more efficient.

How should I store my hedge shears?

Store the hedge shears in a dry place. It is recommended to avoid leaving them outdoors, even in dry weather, to prevent rust and damage.

What is the purpose of the wavy blade design?

The wavy blade design helps to grip the foliage effectively, preventing branches and leaves from slipping down the blade during cutting, which results in a cleaner and more precise cut.

How do I maintain the handles?

The handles are made with rubber micro hex grips for comfort and superior grip. Simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Ensure they are dry before use.

Troubleshooting

Blades are sticking or not cutting cleanly

Ensure the blades are clean and free of sap or debris. Check for any visible damage or misalignment. Sharpening may be required if dull.

Handles feel uncomfortable during use

Adjust your grip on the rubber micro hex handles. Ensure your hands are dry for optimal grip. Prolonged use may still lead to fatigue; consider taking breaks.

Rust appears on the blades

Wipe the blades with a rust remover or a fine-grade steel wool. Clean and dry thoroughly after treatment, then apply a light coating of oil to prevent future rust.

Foliage slips instead of being cut

Ensure you are making a clean cut perpendicular to the branch. The wavy blade design should help grip; if slippage persists, the material may be too hard or thick for these shears.

Care Instructions:

Clean After Use: Always remove soil and debris from the blades and handles after each use.
Dry Thoroughly: Ensure the shears are completely dry before storing to prevent rust.
Store Properly: Keep the shears in a dry place. Avoid leaving them outdoors, even in dry weather.

Chemical Residue: If used on plants treated with chemicals, clean the blades thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
