Darlac Cut-n-Hold Bypass Secateurs

The Stainless Steel Cut-N-Hold Bypass secateur is perfect for deadheading or collecting flowers for the home. Easy to use simply keep the gripper part of the blade towards the flower, cut, and hold the secateur closed to retrieve. Use for collecting flowers, fruit, deadheading etc. The gripper is selfadjusting and suitable for most live growth up to 15mm diameter. Great for pruning prickly growth (Roses & Holly) without injury since the cutting can be placed directly into a barrow or trug without handling. When tackling such tasks, the finger guard helps to protect the hand contributing maximum control to the user. To open the secateur, squeeze the handles together and release the thumb catch.

Blade dimension: 6cm, Cut capacity: 20mm, Measurement: Height 19.5cm, Width 8cm, Depth 2.5cm, Weight: 166g.

Maintenance: Clean, sharpen, oil.

Bypass: designed for cutting of live/green wood. A curved cutting platform holds the branch. The action of the blade is a slicing motion in that it goes down to the side of the cutting platform.

Compound Action: The tool mechanism multiplies effort through a gearing or pivot system. Good for mobility issues.

Ratchet: Consists of a bar with a set of angled teeth in which a tooth engages, allowing blade motion in one direction only with a series of movements used rather than a single cut. Good for mobility issues.
