Barracuda clippers are a bit like a cross between small hedging shears and large secateurs and are used primarily for topiary work.
This is a one-handed tool that's easy to carry on your tool belt for detailed shaping, finessing tight curves and angles, and light touch-ups.
Unlike topiary clippers, barracudas are tough enough to cut through smaller woody growth so they are a perfect tool for renovating old boxwood topiary and hedges. Not as tough as a pair of secateurs though.
We've found they also do a darned good job of cutting down ornamental grasses and tough herbaceous material.
