These pruning shears KRTGR10020 from Kreator are ideal for light pruning work. The anvil pruner has a sharp blade that cuts on a blunt surface (the anvil). This makes these pruning shears ideal for cutting dead branches and old, dry wood up to 20mm thick. The top blade is protected with a non-stick coating. That extra layer ensures less friction, so that the pruning shears glide through the wood, as it were. Nothing sticks to the blade.
