What is the difference between bypass and anvil secateurs?

Bypass secateurs have blades that pass by each other like scissors, ideal for live, green stems. Anvil secateurs have a blade that cuts against a flat surface, better for thicker, woody stems.

How do I clean the secateurs?

Wipe the blades with a damp cloth after each use. Remove any sap or debris to prevent build-up.

How do I sharpen the secateurs?

Use a sharpening tool designed for secateurs. Follow the tool's instructions to maintain the blade's angle and sharpness.

How do I store the secateurs?

Store the secateurs in a dry place when not in use. Engage the safety lock to prevent accidental opening.

What is the warranty on the secateurs?

The secateurs come with a 10-year guarantee.

What materials are the blades made of?

The blades are made of drop-forged carbon steel.

What should I do if the grips become loose or damaged?

Unfortunately, the grips are not replaceable. Ensure the product is covered by warranty, or replace the entire unit.

Troubleshooting
