This aggressive anvil-type hand-pruner from British blade-experts Wilkinson Sword is ideal for cutting-back older growth and dead wood where cleanness-of-cut is not important.

So as to ensure you can execute cuts in woody branches with little effort expended, the Wilkinson Sword 1111168W Anvil Pruner has been equipped with a three-position ratchet mechanism.

It's of high-strength nylon-fibre construction, so it excels in terms of durability; and it features top-grade, edge-retaining SK5 steel blades with a non-stick finish that prevents performance-limiting debris build-up.

The Wilkinson Sword 1111168W can be configured for left- or right-handed use and benefits from a safety-lock.
