Spear & Jackson 8170RS Razorsharp Geared Hedge Shear

The Spear & Jackson Razorsharp Geared Hedge Shears make light work of trimming hedges and shrubs by using a geared mechanism that multiplies your cutting force, so you can get through thicker stems with noticeably less effort. That makes them a particularly good choice if you have a lot of hedging to tackle, or if you find standard shears tiring on your hands and wrists over longer sessions.

The hardened carbon steel blades hold a sharp edge well and stand up to regular use, while a PTFE coating on the upper blade helps it glide through growth smoothly and resists rust between seasons. The lightweight aluminium handles keep the overall weight down without sacrificing strength, and the non-slip grips give you confident control whether you're working at arm's reach or up on a stepladder.

Recognised as winners at the Grow Your Own Great British Growing Awards 2022, these shears have earned genuine praise from real gardeners rather than just looking good on paper. They suit anyone from a weekend pruner keeping a box hedge tidy to a more serious grower who puts their tools through their paces on a regular basis.
