Burgon & Ball - RHS Grass Shear – Hand-Forged Precision Scissor-Action Shears

Burgon & Ball RHS Grass Shear – Hand-Forged Precision Scissor-Action Shears

The Burgon & Ball RHS Grass Shear is a traditional, hand-forged tool designed to handle the "mower-proof" sections of your garden. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, these shears are specifically engineered to solve the problem of overgrown edges, grass around tree bases, and tight corners. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, these shears feature heat-treated carbon steel blades that maintain a razor-sharp edge, allowing them to slice through lush or wet grass with the same ease as dry turf.

Best For: Gardeners who prefer a traditional hand tool for precision lawn finishing and trimming in areas where mechanical trimmers or mowers are impractical.

Key Features

• Hand-Forged Quality: Each pair is hand-forged for superior strength and durability, offering a level of craftsmanship that ensures long-term performance.
• Razor-Sharp Carbon Steel: The heat-treated blades are designed to slice rather than tear, which is essential for maintaining a healthy lawn and preventing the browning of grass tips.
• Angled Blade Design: The blades are deliberately offset at an angle to provide a more ergonomic working position, keeping your knuckles away from the ground and the grass.
• Soft Squeeze Action: Engineered with a low-tension spring action to provide maximum user comfort and reduce hand fatigue during extended trimming sessions.
• Wet Grass Capability: The precision-ground edges are sharp enough to cut cleanly through wet grass, preventing the sticking and "chewing" common with inferior shears.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
