This year Burgon & Ball has introduced the first phase of a major review of its RHS-endorsed cutting ranges. The update is designed to make the range easier to navigate, clearly communicating the benefits of buying the tools. Three new tools have joined the line-up too!

Burgon & Ball offers the only cutting tools endorsed by the RHS, that trusted name that gardeners look for. The endorsement is an assurance of quality and good   design. Each cutting tool in the range, large and small, carries a ten-year guarantee. These ranges are the perfect partner to the much-loved RHS-endorsed stainless range, also now joined by the RHS-endorsed BoronGreen® tool range in boron steel.

A fresh new look

The changes in presentation have been developed to make the cutting range simple to navigate, helping the gardener easily find the right tool for the task they’re tackling.

The new packaging uses colour and graphics to clearly highlight each tool’s purpose and cutting power. The new look has also slashed the plastic content of packaging by over 50 per cent.

To help the gardener get a feel for the tool, the handles are fully clear of the backing card, allowing the shopper to try the weight, size and movement before buying. Different coloured handles help pick out the different groups of tools, such as orange handles for everyday essentials, blue handles for the professional range.

And new tools, too!

What’s more, three new cutting tools have joined the line-up. There’s a micro snip for precise cutting. It’s ideal for herb harvesting, and other detailed cutting tasks. In addition, all-metal flower scissors are perfect for harvesting cut flowers and for floristry.

At the other end of the scale, a new anvil action ratchet secateur offers powerful cuts and easier everyday cutting. The four-stage ratchet action easily cuts stems and branches up to 2cm in diameter. The exceptional cutting power and ease of use of this design is believed to position it as best ratchet secateur on the market.

With clearer navigation, try-before-you-buy handles, over 50 per cent less packaging plastic and a ten-year guarantee on every tool, Burgon & Ball’s refreshed RHS-endorsed cutting range gives retailers a simpler, stronger proposition for gardeners.
