Know before you buy
The secateurs feature 55mm KA-70 carbon steel blades designed for tougher, woodier stems, while the smaller snips use S55C steel and are better suited for precise, delicate pruning and deadheading.
Yes, because they are made from high-carbon steel, the blades are prone to rust if left wet. Wipe them clean and dry after every use, and apply a light coat of camellia oil or a similar rust-preventative to keep the edges sharp and corrosion-free.
The double leather holster is designed to accommodate most standard belts. Its robust construction, featuring copper rivets and double-ply waxed thread, ensures it stays securely in place while you move around the garden.
The tools are designed for agility and ease of use, but the secateurs have an 8-inch length. While they are balanced for all-day comfort, those with very small hands may find the grip span slightly wider than compact-specific models.
The high-visibility yellow grips are a practical design choice intended to help you easily locate your tools if you set them down in thick foliage or tall grass, preventing them from being lost in the garden.
