Description

Tobisho's flagship all-round working secateurs

The Tobisho SR-1 is a fully forged 200mm pruner for frequent general live-wood pruning. Tobisho positions it as a balanced working model, combining cutting performance, durability, price and ease of use for garden, orchard and vineyard work.

Why choose SR-1

  • Choose SR-1 when you want one dependable 200mm all-rounder for frequent or prolonged working sessions.
  • The fully forged carbon-steel construction, serviceable centre joint and straightforward metal lock are designed for regular use.
  • SR-1, Type-B and Classic Type-A all suit general live-wood pruning. Choose between them by pattern, hand fit, size and lock preference rather than a simple performance hierarchy.
  • For more size and lock choices, compare the Type-B. For a fully forged Type-A pattern, compare the Classic Type-A.

Size and handling

SR-1 is stocked in 200mm. If you prefer a shorter tool for smaller hands or tight growth, compare the 180mm Type-B or the compact 165mm Hirei.

Care and limits

Wipe sap and moisture from the carbon-steel blades after use, dry thoroughly and oil the blade and pivot before storage. Use loppers for branches beyond secateur capacity and avoid twisting or levering through a cut.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 200 mm a full-size pruner?

Yes, it suits most garden work while remaining nimble. If you prefer extra leverage, ask us about larger options in the Tobisho range.

How should I maintain the edge and joint?

Wipe sap, dry, add a drop of oil at the pivot, and touch up the bevel with a fine stone. Our Sharpening collection has suitable stones and strops.

What steel is used?

Japanese high carbon steel.

What does the pattern mean?

It refers to Tobisho’s classic pruning shear geometry and joint layout, combining elements of the Type-A and Type-B designs. This hybrid pattern offers clean cuts on live wood with a compact, balanced feel in hand.
