Secateurs, also known as pruning shears or hand pruners, are small, handheld cutting tools used for trimming small branches, stems, and flowers. They are essential for detailed pruning tasks, allowing precise cuts that promote healthy growth and maintain plant shape. Secateurs come in two main types: bypass and anvil. Bypass secateurs work like scissors, with two blades that pass by each other for clean cuts, while anvil secateurs have a single blade that presses against a flat surface.
