Kent & Stowe Traditional Anvil Secteurs - 70100481

These anvil secateurs are specifically designed for cutting hard, dead, and woody stems. They are not recommended for live or green wood.

The maximum cutting diameter for these secateurs is 18mm.

Wipe the blades with an oiled cloth after each use. This helps prevent rust and keeps them in good working condition.

No, these anvil secateurs are not suitable for live wood as they can crush and bruise the stems, which can harm the plant and blunt the blades.

Kent & Stowe Traditional Anvil Secateurs come with a 5-year guarantee.

The blades are constructed from high-quality carbon steel.

As anvil secateurs, they can be used by both left and right-handed users, as the cutting action involves one blade closing onto a stationary anvil.

Check for sap build-up or debris around the pivot. Clean thoroughly with a damp cloth and re-oil. Ensure the blades are properly aligned.

The blades may be dull. Sharpen them using a whetstone or file. Ensure you are using the correct cutting technique for the material.

This can occur if the tool is not dried or oiled properly after use, especially in damp conditions. Clean off the rust with a fine-grade steel wool or rust remover, then re-oil the blades generously.

Ensure the branch is within the maximum cutting diameter of 18mm. Position the branch correctly within the jaws, close to the pivot, and apply steady pressure. For branches larger than 18mm, use a lopper or saw.
