Featured within this newly launched range are the Ultralight Hedge Shears, and the Ultralight Bypass Loppers, with an emphasis being placed on low weight, without sacrificing any of the cutting power associated with the highly regarded brand.

The Ultralight Hedge Shears feature an 8? non-stick coated blade, for a clean and defined cut. Aluminium handles provide the combination of strength and low weight, whilst the soft grip handles make these hedge shears satisfying to hold and use.

The Ultralight Bypass Loppers have also been designed to minimise physical effort and increase efficiency of each cut.
