Burgon & Ball RHS Angled Lawn Shears

These Burgon & Ball angled lawn shears are equipped with telescopic handles made of steel for minimal effort work. This tool has an angled head with blades that are highly resistant to both shocks and corrosion, as well as cushioned and non-slip handles for comfortable use. Similar to a trimmer, this lawn shear is perfect for cleanly cutting the grass that grows in hard-to-reach areas for a lawnmower, and for fine-tuning garden maintenance. No more fashion mistakes, you will have a real English lawn! This product is guaranteed for 10 years by the manufacturer.

The manual lawn shears are a complementary garden tool to the lawnmower, with sharp blades that allow for precise work along paths, terraces, flowerbeds, and in corners too narrow for the lawnmower to pass through. This model, with its tubular handles, allows for manoeuvering the shears while remaining upright, which reduces fatigue and avoids strain on the gardener's back. It is a lightweight and easy-to-handle tool, with cross-cutting blades similar to a long pair of scissors. Its sharpened blades are made of hardened carbon steel, which is less susceptible to corrosion and can prevent sticking caused by plant sap. Measuring 18.5cm (7in) long, they are large enough to quickly shear small areas of grass that need maintenance but can be easily handled due to their compact size. The handles are coated with soft and non-slip sleeves, increasing the comfort of grip.

The English have the privilege of being the reference in gardening (especially when it comes to lawns). Promesses de Fleurs has chosen the English company Burgon & Ball for the quality of its materials and its steel manufacturing methods that are soon to be three centuries old. The company has been working with steel in Sheffield since 1730, initially with a patent for solid steel sheep shears. The production of garden shears and equipment quickly surpassed that of sheep shears, but the stainless steel tools from Burgon & Ball are officially approved by the Royal Horticultural Society - probably the ultimate reward in gardening.

The steel used for Burgon & Ball tools is alloyed with carbon to give it strength, and with chromium to prevent the formation of rust. It's a very precise balance that needs to be achieved between chromium and carbon, which varies for each part of the tool. The heat treatment allows for the exact right hardness of the steel for each tool. Too hard and the metal can break or chip, not hard enough and it will bend or lose its sharpness. The thickness of the steel used also depends on the tool. The thickness of the steel affects the weight, so it's also a balance that the company Burgon & Ball with its almost 300 years of experience has validated to ensure that its tools are both effective and pleasant to use.
