With such an extensive choice of secateurs in the Draper range, selecting the ideal pair of secateurs depends entirely on your preference. For example, bypass secateurs, as the name suggests, have blades that pass each other, delivering a smooth cutting action perfect for soft stems and shoots. While for use on sturdier woody stalks and twigs, anvil pattern secateurs deliver a better solution as more force can be applied. For more specialist work we have a ratchet action pair of secateurs, which allows branches to be cut in slow, smaller ratcheting increments and as you would expect from Draper Tools, all our secateurs have precision-ground, non-stick coated blades, providing excellent performance and comfort for left and right handed users and are fully guaranteed.
