Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is the difference between bypass and anvil secateurs?
A: Bypass secateurs have two blades that pass each other like scissors, making them ideal for living wood and green growth as they deliver clean cuts that support faster plant healing. Anvil secateurs have one blade that cuts against a flat surface and are better for dead or hard wood.
Q: What cutting diameter can these secateurs handle?
A: These Wilkinson Sword bypass secateurs are designed to cut stems up to approximately 20 mm in diameter, suitable for most garden pruning tasks.
Q: How do I maintain them for best performance?
A: Regularly clean blades after use, remove sap or debris, apply light oil to the pivot points and sharpen blades when necessary. Proper storage in a dry place reduces corrosion risk.
Q: Are these secateurs suitable for left-handed gardeners?
A: Yes. The central safety catch and ambidextrous design make these secateurs suitable for both left- and right-handed use.
Q: Can they be used for thicker branches?
A: They are optimised for young growth and green stems. For thicker or woody branches, consider loppers or specialized pruning tools.
