GardenPRO-CLASSIC relies on a cutting principle that has been proven since 1923: The pulling cut against a firm surface makes heavy-duty pruning more efficient and redefines the role of anvil pruning shears in everyday gardening.
Anvil pruning shears are often considered tools for rough cuts. However, this classification clearly falls short. When used correctly, they offer a clear advantage not only when dealing with hard, dry, or thick wood: The blade cuts through the material with a pulling motion and strikes a solid surface – the anvil. This significantly reduces the effort required for cutting.
Original Loewe (Original LÖWE) traces this principle back to the work of Walther Schröder. As early as 1923, he presented the first anvil pruning shears, which later evolved into the Original Loewe 1. The GardenPRO CLASSIC series preserves this fundamental principle: classic anvil pruning shears with straight or curved blades, a chrome-plated steel body, and a centrally positioned blade lever.
Their practical benefits are particularly evident when working with woody plants, where power transfer and controlled cutting are more important than very fine cuts. Anvil pruning shears are especially suitable for old, dry, or hard wood, as well as for larger branch diameters, but they also cut fresh material with ease. The pulling cut not only reduces the amount of force required but also prevents the recoil that occurs with bypass pruners and places heavy strain on the wrist.
The common claim that anvil pruning shears always damage plants is also too sweeping a generalization. The key factors for a good cut are the type of material being cut, the sharpness and geometry of the blades, the condition of the pruners and proper use. For very delicate, fibrous, or fresh shoots, bypass pruners are often the better choice. When cutting sturdier woody stems, however, anvil pruning shears really shine.
GardenPRO-CLASSIC is therefore designed for users who are looking for a durable and high-performance solution for gardening, fruit growing, or viticulture. The model series builds on the technical heritage of anvil pruning shears and translates it into clear everyday benefits: powerful cuts with less effort, a robust construction, and replaceable wear parts.
