BRADAS Aluminium hedge shears V-SERIES KT-V1140, blade length 235 mm, straight coated blade

BRADAS Aluminium hedge shears V-SERIES KT-V1140 have 235 mm straight cutting blades with a protective coating and lightweight aluminium handles. Designed for manual trimming of hedges and shrubs, these shears offer a balance of manoeuvrability and cutting precision for regular garden maintenance and shaping of ornamental plants.

Advantages

The straight coated blades provide corrosion resistance and smoother cutting action, reducing friction and helping maintain a clean cut on stems and small branches. Aluminium handles keep the tool lightweight for prolonged use while retaining sufficient stiffness for control. The overall design focuses on straightforward maintenance and reliable performance for typical trimming tasks.

Suitable for

• Trimming and shaping garden hedges
• Pruning small shrubs and young branches
• Regular garden maintenance and topiary shaping
• DIY gardening tasks where a manual, non-powered tool is preferred

When it may not be suitable

These manual hedge shears are not intended for cutting very thick branches or heavy-duty forestry work. For branches beyond the recommended cutting capacity of hand shears, a powered pruner or lopper would be more appropriate. Users who require extended reach or mechanical advantage for very large hedges may need longer-handled or ratchet-assisted tools.

Key specifications

• Blade length: 235 mm
• Blade type: straight cutting edge with protective coating
• Handle material: aluminium
• Tool type: manual hedge shears for trimming and shaping

How to use

Hold the shears with both hands on the aluminium handles, positioning the straight blades around the stem or foliage to be trimmed. Use smooth, even cutting strokes and avoid forcing the blades through branches that exceed the tool’s capacity. For best results, make angled cuts where appropriate to encourage healthy regrowth and periodically clean the coated blades after use to remove sap and debris.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended cutting tasks and typical branch thickness in your garden
• Preference for a lightweight manual tool versus powered alternatives
• Requirement for corrosion resistance and blade coating durability
• Comfort and grip on aluminium handles for extended use

Usage recommendations

Use the BRADAS V-SERIES hedge shears for routine hedge trimming and shaping, clean and lightly oil the blades after use, and avoid cutting branches that are too thick to prevent blade damage and ensure safe operation.
