The thinning of bushes and shrubs is essential for plant care, and the SlimCut pruning shears from GARDENA will be a great help in this task. Since branches and twigs often grow closely together, the very narrow head and the 0-degree opening angle ensure that you can easily reach and thin out even these tight spots. With a total length of 1.17 meters, you can effortlessly access the branch bases. The pole is made of aluminum, which gives the pruning shears a weight of only 1.2 kilograms. Combined with the ergonomically shaped handles featuring a soft component, it offers easy handling, even while wearing gloves. The lower ErgoTec handle is height-adjustable, allowing you to set it according to your preferences for an upright and back-friendly position while gardening. The integrated two-stage gearbox ensures that every cut is successful. With a simple action, you can choose between a 1:12 or 1:6 gear ratio. The larger ratio is ideal for cutting thicker branches, while the smaller one allows for quick cuts on thinner branches due to the shorter lever action. Precision-ground blades with a non-stick coating provide a plant-friendly, precise cut, capable of cutting through fresh wood as well. The SlimCut is a quality product, reflected in the GARDENA manufacturer's warranty of 25 years. Get closer to your vision with every cut. Easy to handle, effective, and durable: cutting tools for creative gardeners.
