Legion Heavy Duty Pruning Shears 8" (200mm) – Bypass Secateurs, 13mm Capacity

Heavy-Duty Secateurs for Clean, Everyday Pruning

The Legion Heavy Duty Pruning Shears are sturdy 8" (200mm) secateurs built for everyday cutting and pruning around the garden. With a heat-treated steel blade and a strong zinc alloy handle, they deliver clean cuts through stems and small branches up to a 13mm cutting capacity. A contoured soft-grip handle keeps them comfortable to use, making them a reliable, hard-wearing choice for gardeners of all levels.

Clean Cuts for Healthier Plants

The heat-treated blade holds a sharp edge and slices cleanly rather than crushing stems, which matters for the health of your plants. Clean cuts heal faster and reduce the risk of infection and dieback, so a sharp, quality pruner is one of the most useful tools in the shed. These shears handle trimming branches, cutting back stems, deadheading and shaping shrubs with ease.

Built Tough for Regular Use

The zinc alloy handle gives these shears a solid, heavy-duty feel that stands up to regular garden work. Combined with the 13mm cutting capacity, they are well suited to everyday pruning of soft and semi-woody growth, from roses and shrubs to general garden tidy-ups.

Comfortable and Easy to Maintain

The contoured soft-grip handle is shaped for a comfortable hold and helps reduce hand fatigue during longer pruning sessions. Maintenance is simple too, just wipe the blade clean after use and keep it sharp, and the shears will keep cutting cleanly season after season.
