Adjustable Handle Anvil Secateurs by Spear & Jackson

These Spear & Jackson anvil secateurs feature adjustable handles that offer great comfort during use, and allow the gardener to select two different opening widths depending on the diameter of the branches to be cut. They are also equipped with SK5 carbon steel blades treated with anti-corrosion, preserving sharpness. It is a sturdy and easy-to-handle cutting tool that can cut and grind dead wood or mature branches up to 1.5cm in diameter. This product is guaranteed for 10 years by the manufacturer.

Secateurs are an essential tool that every gardener must have, whether they need to maintain a small balcony, a terrace, a small urban garden, a large countryside garden, or an orchard. Anvil secateurs differ from classic secateurs in that their sharp blade, sharpened on both sides, is thicker and crushes against the completely flattened metal part. This prevents the branches from twisting during cutting. However, this system is not suitable for cutting green wood: the crushing of living plant tissues by the anvil may create entry points for diseases and hinder healing. These secateurs are therefore best used to remove dead wood or, at most, mature and hardened branches.
