What are Kent and Stowe Professional Anvil secateurs like to use?
Comfortable and light, these are easy to hold and have a good grip. The blades open wide and they have a handy wire cutting notch. The catch has two positions so that you can alter the span of the handle so any size hand can use them but we thought it barely made a difference.
Are Kent and Stowe Professional Anvil secateurs good value for money?
Handcrafted secateurs these have a five-year guarantee and the blade can be removed for sharpening and replacing.
Who Kent and Stowe Professional Anvil secateurs most useful for?
Gardeners with tough woody pruning jobs rather than everyday snipping and tidying.
