The kew gardens medium anvil secateurs are professional grade pruning shears designed for cutting older, hard and dry plant stems up to 15mm in diameter. Developed in collaboration between spear jackson and the royal botanic gardens at kew, these secateurs combine expert horticultural knowledge with traditional british tool manufacturing expertise. The anvil cutting action makes these secateurs particularly effective for thicker or dead woody stems and branches where bypass secateurs might struggle. High carbon steel blades provide lasting sharpness and strength, whilst ptfe coating ensures resistance to rust and humidity during regular outdoor use. Ergonomic aluminium alloy handles feature soft grips for increased comfort during extended pruning sessions. The metal anvil construction delivers optimum strength and performance when tackling tougher cutting tasks, and an ambidextrous locking catch ensures safe storage and suits both left and right handed users.
