The RHS Ratchet Pruner is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, the ultimate accolade in gardening. This ingenious pruning tool allows you to tackle harder or thicker stems with significantly less effort than regular secateurs. Featuring an anvil cutting action, it is perfect for old or dead wood. Each cut is achieved in three stages as the ratchet mechanism locks with every squeeze, multiplying your cutting power while reducing hand strain. Please note, the anvil action is not suitable for green wood or soft stems, as it can cause crushing. Cuts up to 2.5cm diameter. Lightweight, ergonomically designed handles ensure comfort during repeated use.
