Razorsharp Advantage Large Bypass Secateur
The Razorsharp Large Bypass Secateur has a larger sized ergonomic contoured handles with bi-material comfort grips, and SK5 carbon steel blades; PTFE coated for resistance to rust and smooth cutting. The bypass (scissor) action is best suited to use on ‘green’ or living stems, and will give a clean and precise cut. For thicker or dead stems an anvil lopper is a better choice as a bypass lopper will distort or spread the cut on thick stems.

Nice and sharp and easy to use.

A very nice, straightforward pair of bypass cut secateurs.At just over 20cm in length, and with a blade length of 6cm, they should be a good fit for most hands. (Photo).The body is made from a hard polycarbonate plastic, with a softer, blue cushioned rubber over moulding on the upper and lower handles.In use, I’ve found them comfortable to hold, with no perceptible disadvantages to being left handed.They lock, with a plastic sliding lock on the top. It works well, and is easy to slide on or off with the thumb of your holding hand.They are tensioned by a steel coiled spring. The spring is kept in place by a mounting peg on either side.It looks reasonably secure, but if it were to ‘pop’ out, replacing it would be very easy.Behind the spring there is a small rubber post to give some cushioning when you squeeze the secateurs together.Where these secateurs really excel, is in their sharpness. They are super sharp,cutting through 25mm rose stems with ease. (Obviously, your strength will also determine the thickness of what you can comfortably cut.)An occasional wipe down with a spot of WD40 or similar will help keep them in tip-top condition.Overall, for the money, these are a very capable pair of bypass secateurs and with care, should last for many years.I hope you found this review helpful.

I’ve owned these for nearly 3 years. I’ve cut through 1″ branches with them (beech, willow and birch) even though I probably shouldn’t. Those take effort to get through of course.As for pruning roses, cutting through thick brambles, pruning. 75 inch or smaller branches, pretty much like cutting butter.I take care of mine and sharpen the blade occasionally.Sure I’d love to be able to afford the £50 and up type that you can take apart to sharpen.. Oh well.I do believe I purchased these on a deal because I recall paying about €15-20 but, either way, I think they’re very good quality.

We always buy cheap ones from Aldi and the like but they never last long. These are brilliant and the increase in quality is easy to see
