The Burgon \u0026amp; Ball RHS Ratchet Pruner is designed to give you exactly that—without adding extra strain to your hands or wrists. With its intelligent three-stage ratchet mechanism, this pruner amplifies your cutting force, allowing you to cut through stems up to 2.5cm in diameter with significantly less effort than standard secateurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"1228\"\u003eThe secret lies in the ratchet system, which locks with each squeeze of the handles, allowing you to incrementally power through tough branches in a controlled, efficient motion. This makes it an ideal tool for older or arthritic hands, or for anyone who finds repetitive pruning a challenge. You can get the job done faster, more comfortably, and with better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1588\"\u003eThis pruner uses anvil action, meaning the sharpened blade closes onto a flat metal surface (the anvil) to crush and slice through hard, dry stems. It’s perfect for old or dead wood, but not recommended for soft, green growth, as the crushing action can damage live tissue. For live stems, we suggest one of our RHS-endorsed bypass secateurs instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1590\" data-end=\"1985\"\u003eCrafted with Burgon \u0026amp; Ball’s premium quality materials, this pruner is both lightweight and durable, measuring 20cm in length and built to professional horticultural standards. As with all Burgon \u0026amp; Ball cutting tools, it’s endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), a true mark of excellence in British gardening, and comes with a 10-year guarantee for added peace of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2188\"\u003eWhether you’re taming a neglected shrub or tidying a woody border, the RHS Ratchet Pruner is a powerful, practical addition to your garden tool kit, especially when strength and control matter most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2190\" data-end=\"2193\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2195\" data-end=\"2243\"\u003eWhy We Love It at AllotMate Essentials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2244\" data-end=\"2759\"\u003eWe love a tool that works smarter, not harder, and this RHS Ratchet Pruner does exactly that. It’s a game-changer when we’re tackling thicker, woody stems that would usually need two hands (and a break afterwards!). The three-stage ratchet mechanism gives you all the power you need with half the strain, and it’s especially helpful for gardeners with less hand strength. Plus, it’s sleek, solid, and backed by that unbeatable RHS endorsement. It’s one of those tools you didn’t know you needed, until you use it.\u003cstrong data-start=\"3260\" data-end=\"3268\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AllotMate Essentials","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57240237179262,"sku":"5019360004707","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/9831\/1038\/files\/burgon-and-ball-burgon-ball-rhs-ratchet-pruner-ratchet-pruner-gtorp-5019360004707-allotmate-essentials-522103.jpg?v=1776019878","url":"https:\/\/theonlinegardenstore.com\/products\/ratchet-pruners-easy-cut-tool-for-thick-stems-rhs-by-burgon-ball","provider":"The Online Garden Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
