Its generous size allows smoother, more controlled movements, helping you restore a consistently sharp cutting edge with less effort. Designed for Both Large & Small Tools 26 mm face – Ideal for large shears such as hedge and topiary shears. 16.5 mm face – Perfect for smaller tools such as pruning scissors.
