Bahco PXR-L2 Secateurs

The rotating handle moves with your fingers as you squeeze, which significantly reduces friction and muscle fatigue. It is particularly helpful if you spend long hours pruning, as it helps prevent blisters and strain on your wrist.

The Bahco PXR-L2 has a cutting capacity of 30mm. This makes them suitable for most standard pruning tasks, including thicker stems and small branches.

The Xylan coating reduces friction during the cut, allowing the blades to glide through wood more easily. It also provides a layer of protection against rust and sap buildup, which keeps the blades sharper for longer.

These are bypass secateurs. This design acts like a pair of scissors, where the two blades pass by each other to create a clean, precise cut that is ideal for living, green stems.

The PXR-L2 is designed with ergonomics in mind, but it is a professional-grade tool with a 215mm length. If you have very small hands, you may find the grip slightly wide, though the rotating mechanism helps compensate for the reach required.

To maintain performance, wipe the blades clean of sap and debris after every use. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot point and blades to prevent corrosion and ensure the cutting action remains smooth.
