Secateurs

Topman, a manufacturer of quality secateurs

TopMan pruning tools are manufactured in Japan according to traditional standards. They are based in an area of Japan which has been well known for tool manufacturing for many centuries. Building on this long tradition of quality manufacturing, TopMan utilise the latest technology in the production of their quality hand pruning tools. Their range of bypass secateurs are designed to meet the requirements of both professional horticultural workers and home gardeners.

In addition to the Topman secateurs we also stock Topman long reach fruit pickers which can also be used as light pruning secateurs. Operated with one hand these are ideal for pruning roses (and picking their flowers) and other throrny bushes without getting your hands and arms too close to the thorns 

"Just confirming I have received the secateurs. Very happy with them!"

Anvil vs Bypass secateurs - which to use?

The cutting action with an anvil is like cutting with a knife onto a hard surface. The action with bypass secateurs is like scissors where the blades pass (bypass) each other. The anvil action can damage (crush) the plant, particularly soft stems but are well suited to cutting back (hard) dead wood. Well maintained and sharpened bypass secateurs will cause almost no damage to cut stems.
