Tobisho's flagship all-round working secateurs The Tobisho SR-1 is a fully forged 200mm pruner for frequent general live-wood pruning. Tobisho positions it as a balanced working model, combining cutting performance, durability, price and ease of use for garden, orchard and vineyard work. Why choose SR-1 Choose SR-1 when you want one dependable 200mm all-rounder for frequent or prolonged working sessions. The fully forged carbon-steel construction, serviceable centre joint and straightforward metal lock are designed for regular use. SR-1, Type-B and Classic Type-A all suit general live-wood pruning. Choose between them by pattern, hand fit, size and lock preference rather than a simple performance hierarchy. For more size and lock choices, compare the Type-B. For a fully forged Type-A pattern, compare the Classic Type-A. Size and handling SR-1 is stocked in 200mm. If you prefer a shorter tool for smaller hands or tight growth, compare the 180mm Type-B or the compact 165mm Hirei. Care and limits Wipe sap and moisture from the carbon-steel blades after use, dry thoroughly and oil the blade and pivot before storage. Use loppers for branches beyond secateur capacity and avoid twisting or levering through a cut. Browse Japanese tool care and sharpening for oil, sap cleaner and sharpening supplies.
