Secateurs

Using RYOBI® electric secateurs is incredibly simple. First, ensure your 18V ONE+™ battery has clicked into place. Position the open blades around the branch you wish to cut, getting as close to the main stem as possible for a neat finish. Then, simply pull the trigger. The battery-powered secateurs do all the hard work for you, delivering a clean, powerful cut instantly.

Electric secateurs are the go-to tool for all precision pruning tasks.

They are perfect for deadheading flowers like roses and lavender, trimming back new growth on shrubs to maintain their shape, cutting down herbaceous perennials after flowering and snipping woody stems up to 25mm in diameter. Their ease of use makes RYOBI® battery-operated secateurs especially well-suited to jobs that require many repetitive cuts, reducing fatigue and muscle strain for the user.

The main benefits of RYOBI® secateurs are speed, power and comfort.

Cordless secateurs eliminate the need to squeeze handles, which dramatically reduces hand and wrist fatigue, making them accessible for all. They allow you to prune much faster than with manual tools and can cleanly slice through branches that would be a struggle to tackle by hand. The lack of a cord also offers complete freedom to work anywhere, making it easier to work in tight spaces around the garden.

There are a few simple steps you can follow after each use to keep your RYOBI® secateurs in top condition and ensure the same quality performance for years to come.

Always remove the battery before you begin cleaning. Wipe any sap and dirt from the blades using a cloth and rubbing alcohol, or use a stiff brush for tougher residues. Once the blades are clean and dry, apply a thin protective coat of tool oil to prevent rust and keep the cutting action smooth. Store them in a dry place, ready for your next pruning session.
