The double-cut secateurs make the blades converging towards the centre of the branch to be pruned reducing the effort and providing a clean cut. There is no wood shattering: this helps the tree to heal much quicker. For this reason, these shears are particularly suitable for pruning fruit-trees. The blade unit is made of steel with a high carbon content and it is hot forged and tempered with heat treatment ( 58 HRC ). An inside grease container lubricates the shears constantly. The blade and the counter-blade play can be adjusted to perfection assuring a clean and precise cut. The alloy aluminium handles are lined with anti-slipping rubber. This model is designed for small hands.
