Garden shears are part of the basic equipment for all professional and hobby gardeners. Anvil or Bypass: Anvil pruners work similarly to a knife, with a blade pushed through the plant material onto a cutting board called an anvil.
Bypass scissors work more like scissors where two blades are moved past each other. Handle: The handle of the secateurs should still be reasonably comfortable to hold, even after long periods of work. Grüntek secateurs: A special Teflon coating on the blade ensures smooth cutting on this model.
