Full details

Its primary benefit is the combination of strong, drop-forged secateurs with a practical carrying solution.

FAQs

What type of wood are these secateurs best for cutting?

These Razorsharp Bypass Secateurs are best suited for cutting green, live wood. They provide a clean cut which is essential for the health of plants.

How do I maintain the canvas holster?

Spot clean the canvas holster with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking it. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat. For tougher stains, a mild detergent can be used sparingly.

Can I cut branches thicker than 1 inch with these secateurs?

These secateurs are designed for smaller branches, generally up to about 3/4 inch in diameter. Attempting to cut thicker branches may damage the tool or result in a poor cut.

Is the folding pruning tool suitable for grafting?

Yes, the handy folding pruning tool is suitable for detailed tasks such as budding or grafting small plants and shrubs.

What is the main advantage of the drop-forged construction?

Drop-forged construction provides significantly increased strength and durability to the secateurs, ensuring they can withstand regular use and last longer.

Is this set suitable for left-handed users?

The secateurs are designed for ambidextrous use, and the holster can be attached to either side or pocket.

Troubleshooting

Secateurs feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Clean the blades and pivot point thoroughly to remove any debris or sap. Apply a light coat of machine oil to the pivot and moving parts, then work the handles back and forth to distribute the oil. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing movement.

Holster material feels damp or shows mildew

Ensure the holster is completely dry before storing. If mildew is present, spot-clean the affected area with a mild detergent and water, rinse with a clean damp cloth, and allow to air dry thoroughly. Store in a well-ventilated area.

Cutting blades are dull or making ragged cuts

Sharpen the blades using a whetstone or sharpening tool designed for secateurs. Ensure you follow the correct angle for sharpening to restore the cutting edge. Clean blades thoroughly after sharpening.
