The Wolf Garten Anvil Secateurs General Purpose are a genuine part, ideal for tough, woody and general pruning. Anvil blades help to reduce the strain on the wrist when cutting older, thicker stems. The blade closes against a softer metal on the lower jaw which avoids unnecessary stress on the hand. This does not produce such a clean cut as bypass secateurs, but this is not so important on older growth. These pruners have a 19mm cutting diameter and the coated blades allow non-stick pruning and easy cleaning. They are suitable for both left and right handed use.
