The Darlac Compact Shear is easy to use and an incredibly lightweight shear – weighing in at just over 200g – allowing you to use them for long periods without tiring out yourself or your grip. Featuring longer, broader blades than our Compact Snips for dealing with heavier growth, the precision tensioned SK5 Japanese carbon steel blades give a clean cut every time, while the contoured handles have a soft non-slip covering for comfort and safety. The easy to use catch at the bottom of the handles can be operated single-handed against the body, leaving your other hand free for holding back growth. Blade dimension 9cm, Cut capacity 10mm Measurement: Height 21.5cm, Width 5cm, Depth 2cm, Weight 180g Maintenance: Clean, sharpen, oil.
