Darlac Professional Bypass Pruners – SK5 Steel Bypass Secateurs, 25mm Cut

Heavy-Duty Bypass Secateurs for Demanding Pruning

The Darlac Professional Bypass Pruners are built for gardeners and landscapers who prune often and need a tool that keeps up. The bypass blade slides cleanly past a lower counter blade for a precise cut that helps plants heal quickly, while the strong build handles thicker stems and woody growth up to 25mm without struggling. It is a dependable everyday secateur for roses, shrubs, bushes and small branches.

The blade is SK5 high carbon steel, chosen for its hardness and edge retention, so it stays sharp through heavy use and can be resharpened rather than thrown away. On the Darlac Expert range the blade is also replaceable, which means the pruners can keep working for many seasons.

Key Features & Benefits

• SK5 high carbon steel bypass blade for clean, precise, low-effort cuts

• 25mm cut capacity for thicker stems, branches and woody growth

• Bypass action that cuts cleanly and supports healthy regrowth

• Replaceable blade so the tool lasts for years rather than being discarded

• Lightweight, ergonomic build for comfortable extended use

• Backed by the Darlac limited lifetime guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship (subject to inspection)

How to Use

Release the safety catch before use, then position the bypass blade close to the stem so the cut sits cleanly against the counter blade. Let the blade do the work and stay within the 25mm cut capacity to protect the edge. After use, wipe the blade clean, keep it lightly oiled to prevent rust, and resharpen when cutting starts to feel less crisp. Engage the safety catch and store in a dry place when not in use.

Ideal For

• Professional landscapers and gardeners

• Serious home gardeners who want a long-lasting tool

• Pruning roses, shrubs, bushes and small branches

• Taking cuttings and general demanding pruning tasks
