The Kew Gardens Ergo Twist Bypass Secateurs are professional-grade pruning shears designed for precise cutting of living stems and green wood. Developed through collaboration between Spear & Jackson and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, these secateurs combine horticultural expertise with traditional British tool manufacturing. The bypass cutting action delivers a clean, scissor-like cut that minimises bruising to tender stems, making these secateurs ideal for pruning roses, shrubs, and delicate flowering plants. High carbon steel blades provide lasting sharpness and strength for reliable performance throughout the growing season. The auto-rotating handles are engineered to reduce hand fatigue during extended pruning sessions, whilst the non-slip soft comfort grip ensures secure handling in all conditions. A stepped locking catch allows adjustment for both wide and narrow cutting widths, and integrated rubber shock absorbers enhance user comfort during repetitive cutting tasks.
