Corona Pro Hedge Shear w/ 10-1/2" Blades & Alum Handle

The Corona Pro Hedge Shear is a high-quality gardening tool designed for both professionals and home gardeners. It provides great cutting power, comfort, and durability for trimming hedges, bushes, and small branches. Its durable construction ensures smooth and stable cuts every time.

Design and Comfort

The elliptically shaped handles are designed to fit the natural curve of the hand, providing an exceptionally comfortable grip, ideal for extended use. A bit over two feet long overall, the shear has sufficient reach to trim tall hedges without requiring users to strain to keep the arms outstretched.

Bumper cups are welded between the handles. With every snap of the blades, they're taking a shock. This feature helps prevent soreness in the hands and arms.

Cutting Performance

The forged steel blades easily cut branches up to ¾". The serrated top blade clamps twigs tightly, eliminating slipping while cutting. The limb notch on the lower blade holds larger branches steady, making the cut smooth and controlled.

Each cut is efficient thanks to the sharp blades, and they are even resharpenable. The tight pivot bolt makes blades meet evenly so that they won't twist, preventing jagged cuts that can damage plants.

Durability and Maintenance

Heat treatment strengthens the steel and aluminum parts, so they will resist wear, bending and corrosion. Blades are made of forged steel and can withstand harder branches without chipping.

To maintain the shear in good condition, users are advised to:

1. Swab blades with a dry cloth to get rid of sap and dirt.
2. A small dot of oil on the pivot bolt helps prevent rust and provides a smooth ride.
3. Use a flat file or sharpening stone to restore a keen edge.
4. Store the shears in a dry location, out of direct sunlight and free from moisture.

Ideal Applications

This product is a great tool for many things. Its shape is suitable both for detailed trimming and tough pruning.

• Home Garden Care: Rotary lightweight handles and sharp blades make it easy for homeowners to trim iconic shrubs while cutting back on labor.
• Arboriculture and Pruning: Tree care specialists can utilize the serrated blade and limb notch to cut small limbs and shape and form young trees.
• Floral and Shrub Maintenance: Exact cut is ideal for keeping the flowers and shrubs looking their best, even allowing the user to cut the most sensitive plants.

Safety and Best Practices

Safety is an issue when using sharp instruments. These are always the rules that users should follow:

1. Gloves and safety glasses are used to protect hands and eyes from cuts and debris.
2. Check for hazards and make sure there is no one nearby before cutting.
3. Keep hands behind the blades and use smooth, controlled motions.
4. Ensure blades and handles are free from cracks or damage.

By following these guidelines, the safety of the user and the plants is promoted.
