The Darlac DP44 Shear is a lightweight compact hand shear designed for trimming, topiary work, deadheading and general garden maintenance. Featuring longer and broader blades than standard garden snips, the DP44 is capable of dealing with heavier growth while still providing excellent control and precision. The precision-tensioned SK5 Japanese carbon steel blades deliver clean and accurate cuts, making this versatile tool ideal for both detailed trimming and routine gardening tasks. Weighing approximately 180–214g and measuring around 220mm in length, it is comfortable to use for extended periods without causing unnecessary hand fatigue.

Why Choose the Darlac DP44 Shear?
