Meet the Burgon & Ball RHS Micro Secateurs – Green: proof that good things truly do come in small packages. These ultra-compact bypass secateurs may be just 16cm long, but they deliver serious cutting power for delicate pruning tasks, fine snipping, and gardening on the go.
Crafted by Burgon & Ball, the UK's leading name in premium gardening tools, the Micro Secateur is designed for precision, portability, and performance. Its small size makes it especially handy for gardeners with smaller hands or anyone who prefers a lightweight tool that doesn't compromise on strength. Whether you’re deadheading blooms, trimming soft stems, or tending to container plants, this secateur offers smooth, accurate cuts right where you need them.
The tool is fitted with a razor-sharp, high-carbon steel bypass blade, engineered to hold its edge through repeated use while delivering clean cuts that promote healthy plant healing. The bypass action makes it particularly effective for living plant material, where a smooth slice is key.
The ergonomic handle is coated in a soft, grippy green finish, giving it a modern look and comfortable feel in-hand. It’s compact enough to slip into a pocket or garden apron, so it’s always on hand for those quick snips around the plot.
As with all of Burgon & Ball’s finest tools, the Micro Secateurs are endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS)—the highest accolade in the British gardening world. They represent both excellent craftsmanship and the confidence of gardeners who want reliable tools season after season.
Also available in a terracotta colourway, the green version offers a fresh, classic garden aesthetic that pairs beautifully with other tools in the RHS-endorsed collection.
Perfect for precision gardening, houseplants, small borders, raised beds, and more—these secateurs are a must-have addition to any gardener’s everyday toolkit.
