Pruning Shears Fiskars 112450 Anvil Black

The Fiskars 112450 Anvil Black pruning shears combine a single sharp blade with a flat anvil surface to deliver controlled cuts on woody stems and small branches. The tool features a durable black plastic handle shaped for a secure grip and measures 816 mm in length with a cutting capacity of up to 4 cm. Designed for routine garden maintenance, these pruning shears are intended to simplify trimming, shaping and removing dead wood while offering straightforward mechanical action suited to amateur and experienced gardeners alike.

Advantages

The anvil cutting system enables one-sided compression against a flat surface, minimizing blade deflection and allowing effective cutting of tougher, dried or dead wood. The plastic handle provides a lightweight but sturdy grip that resists outdoor conditions and supports extended use without significant hand fatigue. The overall build and cutting capacity make the shears suitable for a variety of pruning tasks while keeping operation simple and reliable.

Suitable for

• Trimming shrub branches and hedges
• Removing dead wood from fruit trees and ornamentals
• Cutting woody stems up to 4 cm in diameter
• General garden maintenance and pruning tasks

Key specifications

• Cutting system: anvil-style single blade against flat anvil
• Handle material: durable black plastic
• Total length: 816 mm
• Maximum cutting capacity: 4 cm diameter
• Intended use: pruning of woody stems and small branches

How to use

Position the blade so that the branch rests against the anvil surface and close the handles with steady pressure to complete the cut. For best results, cut branches at a slight angle and make the cut just outside the branch collar to support healthy regrowth. Use the tool for single cuts on stems within the specified cutting capacity and avoid forcing the shears through material thicker than recommended to prevent damage to the blade or anvil.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade clean and dry after use and periodically check for loose fastenings. Sharpening should be performed by a qualified service when the blade becomes dull; avoid attempting major repairs that could compromise the anvil alignment. Wear appropriate hand protection and eye protection when working with branches to reduce the risk of injury.
