ABSTRACT:
A tool for manually cutting, trimming and pruning hedges and the like. This cutting tool has a semi-circular curved blade, with a cutting surface on the inner side thereof, said blade being attached to a handle by wing nuts and bolts or other fastening means. This cutting tool makes vertical cuts by the user standing at right angles to a hedge and swinging downward on the side of the hedge. Horizontal cuts are made by the user swinging the tool from right to left, or vice versa, on top of the hedge. The curved blade is designed to increase and concentrate the cutting power of the tool. The handle is offset from the blade for safety purposes to keep the user's legs and feet outside the line of the swinging arc so that the legs and feet are not cut. The offset handle further keeps the hands from being scratched by the side of the hedge. This new lightweight cutting tool is less tiring to use than normal pruning shears and accomplishes hedge cutting so quickly and effectively that it makes the use and purchase of expensive electric and gas-powered hedge trimmers unnecessary.
