Original LÖWE No.1 Anvil Pruning Secateurs are professional-grade, heavy-duty secateurs designed for powerful pruning of harder, older and dead wood. The LÖWE No.1 is the original anvil pruner design introduced in 1923 and remains a proven choice for orchard, horticultural and general garden pruning.

Unlike bypass secateurs, the precision-ground blade cuts against a fixed soft aluminium anvil. This drawing-cut action provides excellent force transmission and eliminates the cutting shock associated with bypass pruners, helping reduce strain on the hand and wrist during repeated pruning.

Features:

• Professional heavy-duty anvil pruning secateurs
• Ideal for hard, mature and dead wood
• Precision-ground tool steel blade
• Soft aluminium anvil provides the cutting surface
• Strong steel handles with comfortable PVC grips
• Efficient anvil action reduces the force required when cutting
• Suitable for left or right-handed use
• Replaceable blade, anvil, spring and other wear components
• Made in Germany

Why Choose Anvil Secateurs?

Anvil secateurs are particularly well suited to tougher pruning jobs. The blade makes a drawing cut against a fixed anvil rather than passing a second blade, providing efficient power transfer when cutting hard or larger branches.

This makes the LÖWE No.1 particularly useful for orchard work, established shrubs, woody growth and removing older or dead branches. The cutting action also avoids the cutting shock commonly experienced with bypass secateurs, making repeated heavier pruning easier on the hand and wrist.

Cutting Capacity:

Suitable for branches up to approximately 25mm diameter, depending on the hardness of the material being cut.

Built to be Maintained:

Original LÖWE secateurs are designed as long-term pruning tools rather than disposable secateurs. Wear components including the blade, anvil, spring, grips, bolt and fastener can be replaced individually, helping extend the working life of the tool.

Care:

Keep the blade clean and store the secateurs in a dry location when not in use. Replace worn components as required to maintain smooth cutting performance.
