Advantages

These pruning shears deliver precise, clean cuts thanks to two precision-ground stainless steel blades that operate on the bypass cutting principle. More than 75% of the plastic used is recycled household waste and over 75% of the processed steel components are made from recycled metal, giving the tool a sustainable construction without compromising strength. The ergonomic handle supports comfortable single-hand use, while the built-in sap groove and wire-cutting function add practical versatility. A one-hand safety lock enables easy and safe storage.

How to use

Hold the secateurs by the ergonomic handle and position the blades around the stem so the cutting action passes the sharp edge of the upper blade across the lower blade (bypass principle). Cut stems and small branches up to 18 mm in diameter with a single smooth motion, avoiding twisting or sawing. Use the sap groove to reduce blade sticking on sapmy stems, and the wire-cutting function where applicable. After use, engage the one-hand safety lock and store the tool in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For clean, healthy cuts, sharpen and clean the stainless steel blades regularly and dry the tool before storage. Use the secateurs for green wood, young shoots and small branches within the specified 18 mm cutting capacity; avoid cutting hard, dry or thick branches beyond the rated diameter to prevent damage.
