Product description
Niwaki GR Pro Barracuda Clippers include the length and ‘clipability’ of Topiary Clippers combined with the strength of bypass Secateurs. Dream Team, or Jack of all trades? They’re absolutely perfect for cutting back and reshaping old box topiary (box wood, as you know is hard stuff - its timber was traditionally used for printing blocks) and occupy that lovely place where you need a bit of clip AND a bit of clout, but inevitably they’re not as smooth as Topiary Clippers, nor as strong as Secateurs. Also pretty much perfect for cutting back tough herbaceous stuff at the end of year - but do watch out for stones and such when you’re working at ground level.
Best usage
- Clean with a Niwaki Clean Mate rust and sap eraser
- Sharpen with a Niwaki #1000 grit stone
- Protect with Niwaki Camellia Oil
More about the GR Pro range
Our Standard and Small GR Pros are made by a small family business in Yamagata: 2nd generation Mr Kudo still puts in a full day’s work as he approaches 80, assisted by his wife and their two sons. Drop in for their favourite local food, niku soba ( meaty noodles) and a glass or two of sake.
