Pruning shears NEO tools 15-251, hand secateurs, weight 1.19 kg, single piece

NEO tools 15-251 pruning shears are two-handed anvil garden shears designed for cutting branches and stems in home gardens and allotments. The tool features an anvil cutting system with an upper cutting blade that meets a fixed anvil to hold and crush the branch during cutting. A roller transmission increases the pressing force by up to 60%, allowing cuts of branches up to 40 mm in diameter. Aluminium arms keep the tool relatively lightweight and the non-stick coated blades reduce sap and debris build-up for smoother operation. The model is supplied as a single piece and has the listed weight around 1.19 kg.

Advantages

The anvil system provides stable cutting by holding the branch against a fixed surface, which is effective on hard or dry wood. Roller transmission amplifies the applied force, reducing user effort when cutting thicker stems. Blades with a non-stick coating limit sap adhesion and make cleaning easier, while two-material non-slip handles improve grip and control. Aluminium arms deliver a balance between strength and reduced weight for longer seasonal work.

Suitable for

• Cutting and pruning branches up to 40 mm diameter
• Shaping shrubs and hedges in home gardens
• Removing hard or dry wood where anvil cutting is preferred
• General maintenance of allotments and small green spaces

How to use

Hold the shears with both hands on the non-slip handles and position the branch between the upper cutting blade and the anvil. Apply steady pressure to engage the roller transmission, allowing the mechanism to amplify your force and complete the cut. For best results, cut branches at a slight angle to promote healthy regrowth and avoid twisting motions that can damage the tool. After use, wipe the blades to remove sap and debris and store the shears in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use the NEO tools 15-251 anvil shears for hard, dry or dead wood and for thicker branches within the stated 40 mm limit. Avoid using the tool on live green shoots where bypass blades are preferable. Regularly clean and lightly lubricate the pivot and roller transmission to maintain smooth operation and inspect handles and arms for damage before use.
