These Three-Position Hedge Shears are a great back-saving for anyone with high hedges that need periodic trimming. It’s also the perfect solution for anyone who wants a non-electric, old-school grass clipper to the grass (post mowing) around the walkway, driveway, or patio. The hedge shears swivel 180-degrees both horizontally and vertically, and the 6” steel blades work with a trigger mechanism. You can comfortably work overhead, sideways, or on the ground while saving the trouble of bending down or contorting your body in weird positions. The aluminum shaft of these garden hedge shears is 36”, giving you an extra three feet to work overhead on your taller hedges. A blade lock allows you to store this with the blades closed, for safety and to keep the steel edges sharp for next time.
