Anvil secateurs have one top blade that pushes through the stem onto a flat surface and are often good for cutting through thick, woody stems so if you have lots of woody stems to cut these could be a good choice. Being that Felco was already the best, we discovered they did a 'Model 6' pair, after some testing and comparison, it became very clear that they were nearly identical to the model 2, but had smaller handles. ThesePower Drive Ratchet Anvil Pruning shears are designed to make cutting thicker branches much easier for those of us who struggle pruning branches, such as gardeners who have carpal tunnel or arthritis, or simply have smaller or weak hands. These pruning shears are designed with the serious gardener with medium to heavy duty use in mind and with these secateurs it is easy to see why they probably the most coveted pair of secateurs around.Leave the whetstone in water for about five minutes until soaked through, then gently rub a blade against it to sharpen.

In my experience, one lost spring or a malfunctioning safety catch and the secateurs is for the bin. We particular like the locking switch that is easy to use and isn’t going to slip and the fact that it has no spring between the handles is genius. A lighter weight is ideal for continued use and fine pruning, but heavier models can feel more robust.The blades of these razor-sharp secateurs are forged from the finest Japanese steel (the same steel from which the Katana sword of the Samurai is made) and enable you to cut through branches up to 25 mm, such as shrubs, roses, fruit trees, and creepers.
