The anvil model of the SingleStep™ pruning shears is particularly effective for cutting dry and hard wood. With these shears, you can effortlessly cut through branches and twigs up to 40 millimeters thick. The 80-centimeter long Fiskars pruning shears feature lightweight yet sturdy handles made from a special plastic. Additionally, they are designed in a modern style. A simple, matte black serves as the base color, while orange elements provide a small visual accent. The anvil is made of lightweight aluminum, yet it is very stable and stands out in its silver-gray color from the rest of the pruning shears. Its hook shape stabilizes the branch while cutting, allowing for very precise work. The blade of this anvil variant is made from hardened steel, making it particularly robust. It is also non-stick coated, which reduces friction during cutting and protects the blade. Weighing in at just 1340 grams, it is relatively lightweight, making it comfortable to use.
