Burgon & Ball - RHS Hedge Shear – Double Pivot Compound Action Shears

Burgon & Ball RHS Hedge Shear – Double Pivot Compound Action Shears

The Burgon & Ball RHS Hedge Shear is a high-performance tool engineered to make hedge maintenance significantly easier. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, these shears feature a unique double-pivot compound lever action that generates up to 60% more cutting power than standard shears. This mechanical advantage allows for effortless slicing through thick stems and dense foliage, while the lightweight construction ensures that even prolonged overhead work remains comfortable.

Best For: Gardeners seeking a professional-grade shear for shaping hedges and trimming thick-stemmed shrubs with minimal physical effort.

Key Features

• 60% More Cutting Power: The unique double-pivot compound action multiplies your strength, providing the extra leverage needed to cut through stubborn, woody stems that would stall regular shears.
• Hardened High-Carbon Steel: The blades are precision-hardened and tempered to ensure maximum edge retention, staying sharper for longer through seasons of heavy use.
• Non-Stick Upper Blade: The top blade is treated with a specialized non-stick coating to reduce friction, minimize the buildup of sticky sap (gumminess), and make cleaning effortless.
• Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Shafts: Designed for ergonomic overhead work, the lightweight frame reduces arm and shoulder fatigue when trimming high hedges or reaching across wide borders.
• Comfortable Rubber Grips: Ergonomically shaped rubber handles provide a secure, cushioned grip that absorbs shock and minimizes hand strain during repetitive motions.

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

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.
