LÖWE No.1 (1104) Heavy Duty Anvil Pruner - Professional German Engineering Secateur

LÖWE No.1 (1104) Heavy Duty Anvil Pruner - Professional German Engineering Secateur

The LÖWE No.1 (1104) Heavy Duty Anvil Pruner is a classic, professional-grade pruning tool globally renowned for its immense strength, precision engineering, and lifetime durability. Featuring an exceptionally robust chrome-plated steel body with non-slip textured PVC grips, a precision-ground tool steel blade, and a soft aluminium anvil, it delivers powerful, clean cuts with minimal user effort. This world-famous design operates on the legendary drawing-cut action against a fixed base plate, a concept pioneered in 1923 that ensures efficient force transfer and eliminates mechanical cutting shock.

Optimised for demanding agricultural workloads, these heavy-duty shears are designed to protect hands and joints by absorbing impact energy during repetitive cuts. With an externally mounted blade secured by a single nut system, changing worn components is remarkably fast, allowing for quick field maintenance and ensuring the tool remains a reliable, lifelong asset in your kit.

Best For: Professional orchardists, arborists, viticulturists, and commercial gardeners who require a heavy-duty, high-leverage anvil pruner for cutting dense hardwood, dry wood, and tough branches efficiently and cleanly.

Key Features:

• High-Performance Anvil Cutting System: A precision-ground hardened tool steel blade works in perfect alignment against a soft aluminium anvil, utilizing a drawing cut to maximize power transfer.
• Ergonomic Chrome-Plated Steel Chassis: The solid steel body features premium chrome plating for corrosion resistance, fitted with textured PVC handles for a comfortable, secure grip.
• Substantial 25mm Cutting Capacity: Powerfully slices through dense hardwood, mature orchard stems, and dry woody growth up to 25mm in diameter with minimal joint strain.
• Universal Ambidextrous Handling: Perfectly proportioned to suit medium-to-large hands, with a balanced chassis layout that operates efficiently for both left- and right-handed users.
• Full Spare Parts Availability: Built as a true tool for life, every component can be individually replaced, from the externally mounted blade to the anvil base plate and spring assembly.
• Authentic German Craftsmanship: Designed, produced, and assembled in Germany to the highest standards of professional engineering for elite field reliability.

Product Technical Specifications Matrix:

Primary Horticulture & Field Applications

• Commercial Orchard Pruning: Clearing dense fruit tree limbs, managing vine growth, and shaping citrus or stone fruit orchards season after season.
• Hardwood & Dry Wood Management: Slicing through mature, dead, or highly fibrous timbers that easily jam or nick standard bypass secateurs.
• Viticulture & Vineyard Maintenance: Delivering fast, low-fatigue winter spur pruning across extensive grape and olive operations.
• Arboricultural & Estate Upkeep: Processing dense garden shrubbery, hedging, and landscape brush clearings efficiently.

Pro Tip & Anvil Water Management: Unlike bypass pruners that act like scissors, an anvil pruner operates like a knife on a cutting board, concentrating immense downward force directly onto the soft aluminium base block. Over extended periods of heavy use, the blade will naturally form a small groove in the softer anvil.

To maintain standard-setting precision, use a fine file to occasionally smooth the anvil face flush or simply adjust the blade alignment screw. Always wipe the tool steel blade clean of acidic plant saps after use and apply a light coating of machine oil to the central guide and internal spring to ensure fluid mechanical performance across the years.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box - please provide a physical street address for delivery.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
