Bahco Hand Pruning Tools

BY-PASS: for cutting live and green wood

Bypass secateurs and loppers are used for cuts that affect the health of the plant. The bypass cutting head owes its name to the fact that the cutting blade 'passes-by' the counter blade in a scissor action. Bahco bypass secateurs slice through the wood as they cut it. This motion requires less force than a straight cut, and causes less compression damage to the wood. ANVIL: for cutting mature and dry wood Anvil secateurs and loppers are used where cleanliness of cut is not as important as removal. The blade of the cutting head is narrower and sharper than that of the bypass. When cutting mature and dry wood, the blade must be forced through the wood with greater pressure. The 'anvil' supports the branch and spreads the pressure to reduce damage. Bahco's pruning tools for gardening offer the end user a quality professional tool providing a precision finish in any gardening application.
