C811 Castellari Secateurs
Castellari have been manufacturing high quality horticultural tools in Italy
for over 30 years and their technology draws from the combination of three of
Italy’s best smitheries.
The handles and counter-blades are made of hot forged light aluminium alloy
and the surface treatment makes the secateurs more resistant over time. The
high percentage carbon steel blades are also hot forged and the mold creates a
cavity in the blade that reduces friction and increases branch penetration.
Their lightweight design, strength and reduced cutting effort allows for
continuous use.
We have 2 different size secateurs available from the Castellari Range.
C811 Ergo Secateurs:
The 210mm Castellari Ergo Secateurs prevent kick-back by their curved shape
which allows the user to grip the branch during cutting. The ergonomic grip
and cutting head aligned with the branch allow the wrist to maintain a natural
position, reducing the effort used by the operator during cutting operations.
They are designed to cut through branches up to 25mm.
C820 Mini Secateurs:
The 190mm Castellari Ergo Secateurs prevent kick-back by their curved shape
which allows the user to grip the branch during cutting. The ergonomic grip
and cutting head aligned with the branch allow the wrist to maintain a natural
position, reducing the effort used by the operator during cutting operations.
They are designed to cut through branches up to 22mm.
Maintenance
Sharpening the blades must be done on a regular basis to ensure the tool works
at its optimum level. These blades are an anvil operation and therefore need
to be sharpened on both sides, following the bevel with a fine or medium grit
file. If the blade is blunt you can put too much pressure on the cut and risk
damaging the branch and tool. The maximum cut for the ergo secateurs is 25mm
loppers.
Although Castellari secateurs are made from the finest steel, they can still
rust if not properly maintained. We recommend you clean and oil the blades
after use and then store away in a moisture-free place with the cutting blades
closed.
