Telescopic steel tube handles. Precision-ground, hardened blades. One blade is chrome-plated, while the other is non-stick coated for rust resistance and smooth operation. Features adjustable blade tension. Anti-slip grips for added comfort. A pruning shear is always used when the capacity or reach of a garden shear is insufficient, for example, when cutting trees, branches, shrubs, twigs, etc. This model is specifically designed for cutting higher branches and twigs that cannot be reached with a standard pruning shear.
