The Bahco P75 Grass Shears are used for vertical grass cutting only. The 8" double-bevelled hardened stamped steel blades are coated with a black Xylan coating to prevent rusting. This coating also reduces the build up on the blades of the green sticky organic matter from the grass. The tubular steel handles are buffered to reduce the vibration shock to your hands and wrists. The 36" handles also have 6" black hand grips to improve your grip. The Bahco P-75 Grass Shear weighs 3.9 lbs.
