Kew Gardens Ergonomic Heavy Duty Bypass Secateurs

The Kew Gardens Heavy Duty Bypass Secateurs are pruning tools for cutting living stems and green wood. Their bypass action makes a scissor-style cut and minimises bruising and damage to tender green stems.

The blades are drop-forged high carbon steel, and the handles are lightweight forged aluminium alloy. The ergonomic handle design is intended for comfort during extended use. The secateurs were developed through collaboration between Spear & Jackson and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.

• Maximum cutting capacity: 20 mm diameter
• Overall length: 215 mm
• Blade size: 66 mm
• Spare springs and replacement blade sets are available

They are described for pruning roses, shrubs and delicate garden plants, as well as general garden maintenance, ornamental plant care and professional horticultural work.
