Bypass secateurs are for cutting living, green growth, for example live stems, branches and plant material . Anvil secateurs are used for cutting tough, old, dead wood. Plants that flower during summer months should be pruned during the winter or early spring before new growth begins. Flower buds develop on the new year’s growth, so it is important not to prune new growth before flowering." Some summer-flowering shrubs include hydrangea, glossy abelia, rose-of-Sharon, and roses.In my many years of buying garden tool products I have learnt the hard way. Buy cheap, buy twice! and this is particularly relevant with secateurs.

The difference being on bypass secateurs is the cutting blade passes the anvil to make the cut, a bit like similar to ordinary scissors, blades passing each other. Comfort for users, high quality materials and easily interchangeable parts and spares are what set Felco secateurs and pruning shears apart from other manufacturers. Felco manufacture a comprehensive range of quality secateurs that are suitable for all pruning tasks. Whether you are a new gardener right through to a professional vineyard worker, Felco have a product that will meet your requirements. Plants that flower in the spring generally should be pruned immediately after flowering, unless the plant is diseased or damaged. Flower buds on spring-flowering plants develop on the previous year’s growth. Therefore, pruning before flowering would remove considerable amounts of flower buds, sacrificing flower display." Some examples of spring-flowering plants include rhododendron, flowering cherry, dogwood, forsythia, magnolia, spirea, and viburnum. The versatile and precise basic models are suitable for all manner of pruning tasks. They may be basic in name but they certainly are not in performance. This range of Felco secateurs includes some of the classic models such as the Felco 2, which is our best selling line of Felco secateurs.

World of Felco pooled some of our resources with Sunshine Garden Centre, which combined with the online-nature of the business gives us a lower cost base. We pass the savings on to you. The business has since grown to include the sale of other garden products under the World of Garden Products umbrella.

Every model of Felco Secateurs (besides the F31 Anvil model) features two blades for bypass style cutting. One of the blades is razor sharp and this is called the cutting blade; this blade bypasses the second blade (which is called the anvil blade) to make the cut in the same way a pair of scissors would. This has been proven to be the very best of way of producing a clean cut. Being hardened steel they keep a sharp edge for longer between sharpening’s. Handy if your not that diligent at keeping your tools sharp.
