Full details

Designed for precision pruning of live green stems and twigs up to 15mm in diameter, these secateurs utilize high-quality carbon steel blades to ensure clean, healthy cuts for your plants.

What is the maximum diameter these can cut?

These secateurs are rated for stems and twigs up to 15mm in diameter.

Are the handles ergonomically designed?

Yes, the FSC hardwood handles are shaped for a comfortable grip and retain warmth better than metal handles in cold weather.

How do I lock the secateurs?

They feature a traditional wire hook locking catch that swings over the handle end to hold the blades in the closed position.

Is the wood sustainably sourced?

Yes, the handles are made from sustainably sourced FSC-certified hardwood.

Troubleshooting

The blades feel stiff or sluggish during use

Clear any trapped sap or debris from the blade pivot and apply a few drops of lubricating oil.

The blades are leaving ragged edges on stems

The blades have likely become dull; sharpen the edge using a dedicated sharpening tool.

Scrub the rust off with a fine wire brush or abrasive pad, then thoroughly dry and coat the blades with a light oil.
