Spear & Jackson6758GS Razorsharp Geared Anvil Secateurs

really good, nice and sharp.

So easy to use and no need to strain when cutting thick rose branches.

Easy to use but doesn’t have a rachet mechanism if that’s what you need if your grip not the strongest. Good value for money though and supplier dealt with the order very quickly.

Easily deals with thicker branches. Good quality from a trusted brand. Good size in the hand and works well

Really effective. These cut well.

Best quality, a name you can trust

This is my review of the Spear & Jackson 6758GS Razorsharp Geared Anvil Secateurs.I went for anvil secateurs as I believe only having one blade(cutting down onto a non-cutting, "anvil," surface) means that when cutting you are only trying to force one blade through the branch so these anvil secateurs are more general purpose than the bypass secateurs.(With two cutting blades that bypass each other in use like the blades on scissors) I also think that these anvil secateurs are better with tough, more woody shrubs.There is some gearing with these secateurs that helps and I was surprised how easily I was able to cut through established growth 1cm diameter without having to use loppers.These secateurs come in at 244g on my scales and feel light enough for prolonged use. The scissor handle is large enough to get your gloved hand through and the spring return is just strong enough to keep the secateurs in your hand whilst you are using them.These secateurs are not perfect however as the main problem with the anvil secateurs is that they do not leave as clean a cut as with the bypass secateurs and they do not work so well on really thin clippings. For some jobs you might be better off with a bypass secateur.These were not expensive for what you get so I am happy to recommend these as they are a good set of anvil secateurs but bear in-mind that for some jobs you may be better with bypass secateurs instead.

Light and easy to use .does the job
