Wolf-Garten RREN Bypass Secateurs Red 39.5x7.84x3 cm

Wolf-Garten Secateurs - There are so many secateurs, how do you know which one to use? Like loppers, that depends on the cutting job in hand. Is it trimming new stems or tougher woodier growth?; Bypass Secateurs work on a scissor like cutting action with one blade the other. They are ideal for cutting growth which is younger as they provide a very clean cut, essential for maintaining a healthy plant or shrub. Little pressure is required in pruning of this nature so the secateurs themselves are light in weight. Bypass Secateurs can still be used on older cuttings but a little more effort will be required by the user.; For older thicker stems, it is best to use an Anvil Secateurs to reduce the strain on the wrist and hand. With Anvil Secateurs the blade closes against a softer metal on the lower jaw, this does not produce such a clean cut as a Bypass secateurs, which is why it is not suited to younger stems but more to older wood where the cleanliness of the cut is not so important. Always consider the density of the wood you are cutting and ensure you have the right tool for the job.
