Advantages: The cut hedges well

Disadvantages: Not perhaps as good as some other that shears I have used

Perusing the garden tool category again I recognise these Silverline wooden handle shears. These are ones our conservation work party group has. We store the tools in our garage, hubby goes to most work parties clearing and working on sites . I use these shears occasionally in the garden although I prefer the spear and Jackson ones I have.

These shears are reasonably comfortable to hold. They have smooth wooden handles. These wooden handled shear have that rustic look .

The blades are Teflon coated helps to keep them clean and rust free. Its best to wipe blades clean after use. The blades cut well they are quite sharp. These shears are designed for cutting hedges I did cut one of my hedges in the garden with them earlier this year. Although they manage to cut thin branches well enough I am not so sure about their capabilities on some of the thick old branches I need to cut so I use a Spear and Jackson pair that I have .

These shears cost £6.20 at http://www.hor-i-zon.com. When I looked on line to find the price I found very few places selling these whereas there are many sites selling Spear and Jackson shears
