Spear & Jackson CUTSETSS11 Razorsharp 3 Piece Cutting Set

This three-piece set from Spear & Jackson brings together the essential cutting tools you need to keep a garden or allotment in good shape, all without having to spend a fortune on each item separately. Whether you're tackling an overgrown hedge, thinning out shrubs, or keeping on top of day-to-day pruning, there's a tool here to handle the job properly.

The telescopic anvil loppers extend from 610mm up to 940mm, giving you the reach and leverage needed for thicker branches, while the tubular steel handles keep them strong without adding unnecessary weight. The hedge shears come with chrome-plated blades to fend off rust, a notched blade for dealing with tougher stems, and built-in shock absorbers to take the sting out of a long session of trimming. Rounding out the set, the bypass secateurs feature a PTFE-coated carbon steel blade that glides through cuts cleanly and is particularly well suited to pruning living plants without causing damage.

This set is a sensible choice for anyone setting up a new garden or allotment, or for those looking to replace a mismatched collection of worn-out tools in one go. It's practical, well thought out, and the kind of kit that will see you through season after season with a little basic care. It's no surprise it picked up a Great British Growing Award in 2022.
