Bypass secateurs/pruners

“Bypass” secateurs have a single sharpened blade, which passes against a curved metal surface in a similar cutting action to scissor blades. If the blade is sharp – and it is easily sharpened – these secateurs will give a clean cut with little effort.

Bypass secateurs are ideal for precision pruning, and this particular model is well balanced, versatile and strong. However, they should not be used to cut through stems thicker than 20mm, the recommended cutting diameter. To prune thicker branches it is better to use loppers or a pruning saw.
