Pruning Shears Fiskars 112450 Anvil Black

The Fiskars 112450 Anvil Black pruning shears are designed for controlled, single-cut pruning of small branches and woody stems. Featuring an anvil cutting system, these shears cut by pressing a sharp blade against a flat surface, providing steady force for harder or dead wood up to 4 cm in diameter. With a total length of 816 mm and a molded plastic handle in black, the tool balances reach with user control for routine garden maintenance and shrub care.

Advantages

The anvil cutting mechanism gives consistent compression for clean cuts on tougher material and helps reduce blade slipping. The long 816 mm length increases reach, reducing the need for ladders or overextension when working on higher branches. The durable plastic handle offers a secure grip and is shaped to support comfortable use during extended pruning sessions. The tool’s construction is intended to deliver reliable performance for home gardeners and light professional use.

Suitable for

• Pruning live and dead branches up to 4 cm diameter
• Shaping shrubs and small trees
• Routine garden maintenance and hedge trimming
• Seasonal cleanup and woody material removal

Key specifications

• Cutting system: anvil style for single-sided cuts
• Maximum cutting diameter: 4 cm
• Total length: 816 mm
• Handle material: molded plastic, black
• Primary use: pruning woody stems and branches

How to use

Position the anvil shear so the branch rests against the flat anvil surface and close the blade in a single, steady motion to complete the cut. For best results, cut at a slight angle and avoid twisting the tool while cutting. Use the longer handle to position yourself at a comfortable distance from the work area, reducing strain on your back and shoulders. Inspect the blade before use and remove debris after each session to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate hand protection and eye protection when pruning. For branches close to the 4 cm limit, make several smaller cuts if needed rather than forcing a single cut. Keep the blades clean and occasionally lubricate the pivot area to preserve smooth operation and extend tool life.
