What to know before buying

The 20mm figure is a stated maximum, and the listing says achievable cutting depends on wood hardness. Customer feedback includes a report of cutting stems around 1cm, so do not assume every branch at the listed maximum will be manageable. The listing also describes the blade as high-carbon steel and Japanese SK5, and claims a 9.5-12.5cm adjustable span, but these specific material and adjustment details are not confirmed by the technical fields.

Customer feedback describes the shears as effective and easy to use, with positive comments about blade quality and cutting performance. Durability feedback is mixed: some customers call them robust, while one report says the handle broke within a week. A reported cut through stems around 1cm is below the listing's 20mm maximum, so buyers tackling thicker, harder wood should treat that maximum as conditional rather than assured.

Frequently asked questions

What type of pruning are these secateurs intended for?

The listing positions the anvil cutting action for dry branches, dead stems and woody growth. It says bypass secateurs are better for fresh green stems.

Is 20mm a guaranteed cutting capacity for every branch?

Does the handle adjust?

The listing describes a stepless adjustable handle and gives a 9.5-12.5cm span in one feature panel. That adjustment figure is not confirmed in the technical details.

What is listed in the package?

The supplied contents list names the anvil secateurs and a lanyard.
