Hedge Shears
Hedge shears are long-bladed, two-handed tools manual cutting tools designed for trimming, shaping, maintaining hedges, shrubs, and decorative topiary. Engineered to cover large surface areas with broad cuts, they are indispensable for professional landscapers, topiary artists, and home gardeners.
Hedge shears are available in Straight Blade types for precision shaping and Wavy Blade types for gripping stems during the cut. Key considerations include blade length, tension adjustment, weight balance, and shock absorption features.
OEM/ODM customization and private brand development are available for global retailers and distributors.
