Hedge Shears BRADAS V-Series Wood, bypass blades, manual pruning tool

BRADAS V-Series Wood hedge shears are manual pruning tools with bypass blades designed for cutting live branches and shaping hedges. The tool combines long handles for reach and leverage with sharp, overlapping blades to deliver clean cuts on green wood. Built for routine garden maintenance, these shears are intended for trimming shrubs, shaping hedgerows and maintaining borders in private gardens and communal outdoor areas.

Advantages

The bypass blades produce precise, non-crushing cuts that help preserve plant health and promote proper wound sealing. Long handles increase cutting leverage and reach while reducing the need to overextend, making it easier to trim higher or deeper hedge sections. The manual design requires no power source and offers straightforward operation and low maintenance. The construction balances blade sharpness with blade geometry to provide efficient slicing action on living stems and shoots.

Suitable for

• Trimming and shaping ornamental hedges and formal borders
• Pruning live branches and shoots on shrubs and small trees
• Routine garden maintenance in private yards and communal green spaces
• Detail cutting where precise, clean cuts are required

Key specifications

• Tool type: manual hedge shears with bypass blades
• Blade action: bypass (overlapping cutting edges for clean slicing)
• Intended cutting material: live/green wood and soft stems
• Handle style: long handles for extended reach and increased leverage
• Typical applications: hedge shaping, shrub pruning, border maintenance

How to use

Hold the shears with both hands on the handles and position the blades around the stem or hedge section to be cut. Use steady, even pressure to close the bypass blades in a smooth slicing motion, allowing the blades to overlap and sever the living tissue cleanly. For thicker branches, make successive cuts rather than forcing the blades beyond their capacity. Maintain a comfortable stance and use the long handles to reach higher or deeper areas without stretching excessively. After use, wipe blades clean and dry to prevent rust and ensure consistent cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Sharpen blades periodically and lubricate the pivot to maintain smooth action. Disinfect blades between plants if trimming diseased material. Store the shears in a dry place and inspect handles and blade alignment before each season of use.
