These Anvil Secateurs are ideal for tough, woody and general pruning.
 
Anvil blades help to reduce the strain on the wrist when cutting older, thicker stems. The blade closes against a softer metal on the lower jaw which avoids unnecessary stress on the hand. This does not produce such a clean cut as bypass secateurs, but this is not so important on older growth.
 
These pruners have ergonomically designed handles which have an integrated thumb rest for safety and are ideal for a medium sized hand. They have an internal spring mechanism and an easy to use locking mechanism. The PTFE blades have a non-stick coating and can cut through stems up to 25mm thick. These are suitable for both left and right handed use.
