STIHL Garden Secateurs Buyers Guide
ANVIL PRUNERS vs BYPASS PRUNERS
Secateurs or loppers with a bypass cutting head are ideal for pruning live plants as they provide a precise and clean cut. Anvil cutting heads, on the other hand, are better for cutting dead wood or tougher plants as they are more efficient when cutting through hardwood.
A bypass pruner has two sharpened blades that slide past each other, similar to scissors. They are considered a versatile tool and can be used for a variety of tasks such as pruning trees and bushes, trimming hedges, cutting back perennials, deadheading flowers, cutting back herbs and shaping topiary.
Anvil pruners have one sharp blade that cuts against a flat surface called an anvil. They are specifically designed for cutting thicker, dead or woody stems, or branches that are already dead. They are not as precise as bypass pruners but are more efficient when cutting through hardwood, making them a good option for tasks such as removing dead branches from trees or shaping shrubs.
