Hedge clipper AWTOOLS AW63160

The AWTools Hedge clipper AW63160 is a lightweight, extendable hand tool designed for trimming hedges, shrubs and small branches. Weighing approximately 2 kg, it combines hardened carbon steel blades with a non-stick PTFE coating on the upper blade and chrome plating on the lower blade for reduced friction and durable cutting performance. An integrated ratchet mechanism assists with gradual cutting of thicker branches, while extendable long arms and ergonomic aluminium handles with PP+TPR non-slip coating provide reach and comfortable control. A plastic blade holder is included for safe storage.

Advantages

The hardened, ground carbon steel blades deliver precise, clean cuts that help maintain the health and appearance of hedges and shrubs. The PTFE non-stick layer minimizes sap and debris buildup on the upper blade, reducing friction and easing repeated cuts. Chrome coating on the lower blade improves corrosion resistance and sliding action. The ratchet mechanism multiplies cutting force for tougher branches, and extendable arms increase reach for taller plants without the need for a ladder. Ergonomic aluminium handles with non-slip PP+TPR coating improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during extended use.

Suitable for

• Trimming garden hedges and formal topiary
• Pruning small branches, limbs and shoots
• Maintaining shrubs and ornamental bushes
• Reaching higher growth with extendable arms without a ladder

How to use

Hold the hedge clipper by the ergonomic handles with a firm grip and position the blades around the branch or shoot to be trimmed. For thicker branches, operate the ratchet mechanism by closing the handles in repeated short strokes to gradually sever the wood. Extend the long arms as needed to reach higher growth, keeping both hands on the handles for stability. After cutting, wipe the blades clean and store the tool with the plastic blade holder engaged to protect the cutting edges and prevent accidents.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW63160 for clean, regular pruning to promote healthy regrowth. For best results, sharpen and clean blades periodically, avoid cutting branches beyond the tool’s capacity, and wear appropriate hand protection when working with dense or thorny plants.
