Barnel tools emerged on the horticultural scene in 1985 incorporating innovative features and advantages unmatched in the industry. The steel blades begin with high quality, hard-to-find metals enhanced by a state-of-the-art hardening process.

• Hardened high carbon sword precision ground replaceable steel blades
• Drop forged aluminum alloy handles for strength and lightness
• Pressure injection die cast handles and body
• Patented self oiling center bolt for ease of maintenance
• Shock absorbing cushion for fatigue free day-long use
• Ergonomic thermoplastic rubber non-slip grips
• Fully adjustable for optinum shearing action

Barnel's patented center oiler bolt innovation necessitates far less frequent oiling of the shear and eliminates the need to disassemble the tool when adding oil to the hinge. How does it work? The patented bolt contains a reservoir of oil released to the hinging mechanism gradually through tiny holes near the threads as the tool is used. When empty, the bolt can be quickly refilled by gently depressing the precision spring loaded ball bearing valve. Use any typical household, 3-in 1, sewing machine or other oil with a narrow applicator tip.
