These compact and easy to use secateurs are perfect for busy gardeners looking to prune shrubs, trim tree branches or deadhead plants. They are ideal for gardening work both inside and outside the home. They can be used for trimming bonsai trees or other houseplants, or for harvesting chillis, grapes and other home grown produce. They can be used throughout the garden to help deadhead flowering plants or for taming unruly shrubbery. The secateurs feature a locking mechanism for extra safety, making them ideal for pruning, deadheading, topiary, bonsai, harvesting, and other gardening uses. They have a fine-polished carbon alloy blade for a clean and precise cut with lasting sharpness, and also helps to resist rust. The handles are made from a tough rubberised plastic with a double-dipped grip for comfortable and safe use. The strong blades can cut through branches and twigs up to an impressive 2cm (3/4 inch) in thickness.
