The Bulldog Premier Ratchet Pruning Shears are designed to make cutting through thicker branches easier with their innovative ratchet system. These secateurs feature hardened Japanese steel blades for durability and sharpness, and soft-grip handles for enhanced comfort during prolonged use. The ratchet mechanism allows for cutting through live or dead wood up to 20mm in diameter in measured stages, making them ideal for gardeners with less hand strength. The handle design offers extra protection for your fingers, and an oil dispenser pad on the handle helps keep the blades clean and fully functional. A locking device is included to keep the blades securely shut when not in use. Enjoy effortless pruning with these high-quality garden secateurs.
