March 07, 2019:

Hedges help beautify any outdoor space, and they’re practical too, serving as windbreakers and barriers between property lines. They can also be a source of shelter and food for birds. Keep yours well-trimmed with some quality shears. You’ll get the job done quickly and with minimal effort when using the Okatsune Precision, which are commonly used by professional gardeners throughout Japan, thanks to their razor-sharp blades and even cut. If you have the means to invest in the durable ARS professional, they just might be only choice you’ll ever need – and if you do ever need new blades for them, replacement ones can be bought. For the ladder-phobic, the Tabor Tools model featured here offers telescopic arms, which extend an extra 8 inches to reach up high. No matter which one you choose, it’s good practice to store shears indoors to help prevent rust and corrosion. Proper cleaning and sharpening can also help them last for many years.
