The Spear & Jackson Razorsharp Active Medium Anvil Secateurs are ideal for gardeners looking to efficiently trim hard or dead wood with minimal effort. Their anvil-action design makes them perfect for woody stems that might otherwise twist, though they are specifically intended for lighter pruning tasks rather than heavy-duty branch removal. Featuring durable carbon steel blades and an ergonomic handle, these secateurs are a reliable choice for routine garden maintenance and seasonal cleanup.

While they will cut them, anvil secateurs are specifically designed for hard or dead wood. For fresh, soft growth, a bypass-style secateur is generally preferred to avoid crushing the stem.
The maximum recommended cutting capacity for these secateurs is 15mm.
The ergonomic design is contoured for a general hand shape, but the thumb lock is positioned for standard right-handed operation.
Keep your proof of purchase, as Spear & Jackson requires it for any warranty claims related to manufacturing defects.
No, only sharpen the sharp cutting blade. The anvil base should remain flat to provide the necessary support for the branch.
Clean any dried sap from the blades and apply a few drops of lubricating oil to the pivot screw.
The blade may have dulled; sharpen the cutting edge using a dedicated diamond file or whetstone.
Check if debris is lodged in the locking mechanism and clear it out; ensure the pivot tension is not too loose.
There is no complex setup required; the tool is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. To ensure longevity, always wipe the blades with a clean, dry cloth after every use to remove sap and debris. If the blades become sticky, you may use a light solvent to remove residue before applying a thin layer of machine oil to the pivot point and blades. Store the tool in a dry shed or garage to prevent moisture buildup. Regularly check that the tension bolt is secure, but avoid overtightening, as the blades should move smoothly against one another without significant resistance.
