FAQs
What is the maximum branch size these shears can cut?
These shears are best suited for soft stems and small branches. Avoid attempting to cut anything thicker than a standard pencil to prevent damaging the blades.
Are these suitable for left-handed users?
Yes, the neutral ergonomic design of the PVC handles allows them to be used comfortably by both left and right-handed gardeners.
Do these shears have a safety lock?
No, this model does not include a locking mechanism. Store out of reach of children when not in use.
Will the aluminium rust?
Aluminium is resistant to rust; however, the blades may develop surface oxidation if left wet. Always wipe clean and dry after use.
Can I replace the blades if they break?
The blades are fixed to the aluminium body. For safety and performance, it is recommended to replace the unit if the blades are structurally damaged.
Troubleshooting
Shears feel stiff when opening or closing
Clean any debris or dried sap from the pivot point and apply a drop of lightweight machine oil.
The blades are not cutting cleanly through stems
The blades may have become dull; use a honing stone to sharpen the cutting edge at the original angle.
Handles feel loose or wobbly
Check the central pivot bolt and tighten it slightly with an appropriate wrench or screwdriver.
