The blades of Anvil Pruning Loppers are designed to be very sharp and close tightly to a flat metal or plastic surface, which is called the "anvil". When the blades are closed on the anvil, they form an efficient cutting mechanism together, where the blades are responsible for cutting, and the anvil provides support and positioning.
The design of Anvil Pruning Loppers cleverly utilizes the principle of leverage. The force applied by the user through the handle is amplified and transferred to the blade to generate sufficient cutting force. The tight fit between the blade and the anvil also helps to reduce friction and resistance during cutting, making the cutting process smoother.
The sharpness of the blade is one of the key factors that determine the cutting force of Anvil Pruning Loppers. A sharp blade can easily cut into the branch, reducing the resistance and force required during cutting. The material of the blade is usually selected from high-quality steel, which is processed by processes such as heat treatment to ensure its hardness and durability. The high-quality blade material and processing ensure that the blade of Anvil Pruning Loppers can remain sharp during long-term use. The durability of the blade also means that anvil pruners can withstand more use and heavier cutting tasks.
In the design of anvil pruners, the power arm is usually larger than the resistance arm. This design allows the force applied by the user through the handle to be amplified and transferred to the blade, thereby generating enough cutting force to cut the branch. When the blades are closed on the anvil, they exert a squeezing effect on the branch. This squeezing effect not only helps to fix the branch and prevent it from moving or shaking during the cutting process, but also adds extra force when cutting, making the cutting smoother and more efficient.
Anvil pruners are particularly suitable for cutting thicker branches and tough plant materials. These scenarios usually require greater cutting force and durability, and the design of anvil pruners meets these needs. Compared with other types of pruners, anvil pruners show higher cutting force and durability when cutting thicker branches. Its design makes the cutting process more labor-saving and efficient, reducing user fatigue.
