The Spear and Jackson Razorsharp Advantage Bypass Secateurs are ideal for gardeners with larger hands who need a reliable, high-performance tool for daily pruning tasks. These secateurs offer excellent cutting precision and rust resistance thanks to their SK5 carbon steel blades, though users with smaller hands may find the larger handle design less comfortable for extended sessions.

The secateurs are rated for a maximum cutting diameter of 20mm.
Yes, the tool features an ambidextrous locking catch, making it suitable for both left and right-handed users.
Yes, you can use a fine sharpening stone to maintain the edge, taking care to follow the existing blade bevel angle.
Bypass secateurs are designed for cutting live, green stems to ensure a clean, healthy cut, whereas anvil secateurs are better for dead, dry wood.
Over heavy use, the coating may thin, but it will continue to provide rust protection for the underlying steel.
Clean the blades with a cloth dipped in white spirit or degreaser to remove dried sap and apply a thin layer of oil.
Apply a drop of machine oil to the central pivot bolt and open and close the handles several times to work the lubricant into the joint.
Check the screw holding the locking mechanism to ensure it is tightened properly, but do not overtighten.
These secateurs come ready to use out of the box. To maintain peak performance, keep the pivot point lubricated with a light machine oil and ensure the blades are cleaned of sap after every use. Use a clean cloth with a bit of solvent if sap has hardened on the blades. Always store the tool in a dry place and ensure it is locked using the ambidextrous catch when not in use. While the blades are durable, they are not intended for cutting wire or metal, which will result in chipping the edge.
