Don't underestimate this small, handy tool. Short but powerful, the strong carbon steel blade cuts through even the hardest plant material. We therefore recommend the small sickle for pruning your flowering shrubs or correcting lawn edges. Even thick tufts of grass can be shortened with this tool - especially in those hard-to-reach places that are difficult to reach with a lawn mower or other motorized tool. The ultra-light magnolia wood handle guarantees fatigue-free work.
