Wilkinson Sword Metal Ratchet Anvil Pruner

There's a quiet satisfaction in a clean cut — the kind that tells you the plant will heal fast and grow stronger. Blunt, cheap blades crush and tear stems, leaving your roses and shrubs open to disease; a good pruner slices through in one motion and lets you get back to enjoying the garden instead of fighting it.

The ratchet mechanism breaks a hard cut into several smaller squeezes, so even tough, woody stems come away without a fight.

• Anvil-action blade for clean cuts on dead or woody stems
• Ratchet mechanism multiplies grip strength for tough stems
• Ready to use straight out of the box
