⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Precision-ground SK-5 steel blades with rust-resistant coating, clean cuts up to 25mm
- • Best for: Home gardeners trimming roses, shrubs, fruit trees and bonsai
- • Not ideal for: Heavy professional tree work beyond 25mm branch diameter
Precision-ground SK-5 steel blades resist corrosion and hold a razor edge. Forged aluminium alloy handles use a 9-stage hardening process for longer service life.
Clean, reliable cuts - thanks to SK-5 steel blades
Precision-ground SK-5 steel blades are hardened and finished with a rust-resistant coating, allowing the cutting edge to slice woody stems. A reinforced pivot bolt maintains blade alignment and helps manage thicker stems up to 25mm in diameter.
Sharp, corrosion-resistant blades reduce crushing and tearing, producing healthier pruning wounds. Reliable cutting performance makes quick work of common garden tasks such as roses and small branches.
Comfort and control for long sessions - with ergonomic non-slip handles
Handles are forged from premium aluminium alloy and finished with silicone grips that provide three times better grip than plain plastic. Handle shaping reduces pressure points and distributes force during repeated cuts.
Secure, comfortable grip helps prevent slippage in wet conditions and lowers hand fatigue during extended pruning. Useful for gardeners who spend long spells shaping hedges or maintaining borders.
Safe to carry and store - with one-touch slide-lock
An intuitive slide-lock mechanism locks the blades closed for storage, sliding right to unlock for immediate use and left to lock safely. The lock also protects the blade edges when not in use.
Simple locking keeps hands safe and blades protected during transport and storage. The quick-release style is practical for moving between beds or storing in a shed.
