Secateurs

[SarrissUK]

I have two secateurs from Asda, £3 each - brilliant. I only have two pairs because I kept forgetting to bring them with me, and bring them back home from the allotment lol

By far the best secateurs I have bought are some that I spotted on Amazon for on a crazy offer for £2.99 delivered (from £25.99 PLUS CARRIAGE) from the states.. i half expected it to be a mistake, half expected them to be rubbish..

Paid my £2.99 and 4 days later they turned up, incredible quality for the price!!

Then.. to my suprise a couple of days later a lady phoned me from America to make sure I was satisfied with them.. crazy!! I couldnt beleive it..

I'm not sure I've seen one. I will have a look . Thanks

I was gifted the Spear & Jackson Razorsharp Ratchet Anvil Secateurs ( they are on Amazon) that I rarely use as I also have Felcos which I've been using for many years.
Personally I would look at the Felco for small hands. The Ratchet S&J I have opens out too wide - often the stretch is a problem. I think if the tool is smaller it is easier to use.

The model 6 - for small hands. Which is on offer at the moment.

I've gradually been improving my garden tools. We have different brands here, unsurprisingly, so I can't really compare with yours.

Bought myself a pair of Bellota snips the other day. Lovely. Sold here as harvesting secateurs. Hope they get a lot of use for that.

I have 2 pairs of Fiskars including one pair with a rotational handle (the PX92) - rheumatoid arthritis means my hands can sometimes be too sore to be able to apply very much pressure.
Having said that, I find that the cut is much less clean than with the conventional pair so I save them for bad days and jobs that don't matter if it turns out to be a bit if a hack!

No idea, sorry. There's nothing on them.
