Key Benefits

Unique semi-circular blade shape

The semi-circular blade with additional crescent-shaped cutouts ensures even force distribution when pushing into the ground, allowing controlled adjustment of cutting depth.

Structural steel blade

The blade is made of 2 mm thick steel, withstands high loads, and ensures long service life.

Sharpening

The blade is machine-sharpened, providing consistent sharpness for cleaner results. The edge is sharpened in a way similar to kitchen knives, meaning it does not dull with first use. This sharpening method is also used on professional garden shears.

Anti-slip foot step

A wide foot support with anti-slip element enables safe and even weight transfer, ensuring stable operation even in hard, compacted soil.

Additional function for shaping curves

The tool includes a built-in cord guide for shaping perfect circular garden beds. With the included rope and peg, you can create a clean circle effortlessly.

Intended Use

1. Shaping lawn bed edges

Create a clean and clear boundary between lawn areas and decorative mulch, sand, or soil in garden beds.

2. Cleaning along curbs

Fast and effective removal of grass that spreads over paving stones, paths, or garden borders.

3. Creating circular borders around trees

Attach the included rope around the tree trunk and connect it to the edge cutter. This allows you to create a perfect circle, which can then be filled with decorative materials such as gravel or mulch.

Frequently Asked Questions

For DIY Homeowners

Why choose the Secta manual edge cutter instead of a string trimmer?

A string trimmer tears grass, creating an uneven appearance and often damaging borders. Secta creates a clean vertical cut in one motion, physically severing the root system and providing long-lasting separation between lawn and beds or paths.

How demanding is it to use the Secta edge cutter?

The tool is very easy to use. Thanks to the sharp blade and wide foot step, the work requires minimal effort.

Why is the handle 80 cm long?

The 80 cm length is optimal for most users. On the Secta cutter, the handle mainly provides stability and guidance, as the main cutting force is applied with the foot on the step, not with the arms.

Do I need to renew edges regularly?

No. Because Secta cuts roots deep into the soil, grass needs much more time to grow back compared to trimming with a string trimmer. Usually, refreshing edges a few times per season is sufficient.

How do I store the tool so it doesn’t take up too much space?

Secta is designed to be compact. Thanks to the removable handle, it can be stored flat against a wall in the garage or shed.

For Professional Users

How durable is the blade for daily use?

The blade is made from thick 2 mm steel and comes factory-sharpened. If there are no large stones in the soil, it retains its sharpness for a very long time.

What should I do if the blade hits a stone and gets damaged?

In case of damage, we recommend sharpening with a classic hand file. We advise against using an angle grinder, as it creates excessive heat and can make the edge brittle, leading to faster damage on subsequent contact with stones.

Is Secta suitable for long runs (e.g. in parks or along pathways)?

Yes. Each cut creates a 20 cm long edge, allowing longer lines to be completed very quickly

How should the tool be maintained?

After use, rinse it with water and dry it. With no enclosed cavities, cleaning is fast and helps prevent cross-contamination between clients.

Is the tool rigid enough for hard, compacted soil?

Yes. The machine-engineered construction with a welded reinforcing rib ensures maximum rigidity and long service life.
