About this deal

However, some secateurs actually feature two locks, which means the blades won't fully open to the maximum cutting distance if the second lock is set. Are you just looking for an everyday pair for light trimming, or do you often face heavy set branches? These pruning shears are designed with the serious gardener with medium to heavy duty use in mind and with these secateurs it is easy to see why they probably the most coveted pair of secateurs around. As you start cutting through a branch, they latch so they do not release the pressure, you can then release the handle and squeeze the handle again, you complete this process around three times until you have cut right through the branch.

The practical, flickable open-close latch mechanism is so simple to use that even a gloved Neanderthal wouldn’t struggle with it, and it means I don’t end up all fingers and thumbs dangerously close to the blade. The secateurs also utilise a changeable very sharp blade that’s made of hardened steel, ensuring clean precise cuts every time is. With the Felco model 6, you get the same great quality, excellent cutting performance and of course, they also come with a lifetime guarantee. The handles of these secateurs are well designed, with their auto-rotating feature that allows you to spread your fingers and use the tool without too much effort. An optional holster made from high quality leather is available to purchase to ensure that your secateurs are safe when not in use.Although not the cheapest, they are the most reliable and hardwearing,” says Chris Lowe, nursery manager at David Austin.

The SK5 carbon steel blades are sure to offer long-term service without losing their cutting edge, whilst the finger protection guard will ensure there are no accidental injuries. Now for the quality aspects, the handles are made of forged aluminium, making them lightweight at only 290g, sturdy and comfortable, and in fact, they have a lifetime guarantee. This design is available on both bypass and anvil pruners and allows you to break down each cut into a number of steps, making it an easier motion. As the manager of the Appliances department in the Good Housekeeping Institute, Katie ensures that the team keeps on top of the latest trends and product innovations.The bottom safety catch also means locking into place is a one hand operation, simply brush it on your thigh to close. I found the rubber cushioned, shock absorbing, forged aluminium alloy handles to be gentle on my wrists, with a slick bypass cutting action. After spending hours testing and reviewing the best secateurs for pruning, I found the Felco Model 2 secateurs to be the best bypass secateurs for pruning all manner of plant material and thicker branches. Most secateurs that have a ratchet fitted are usually also anvil secateurs because the ratchet design makes it easier to cut through woody thick stems by cutting in small stages. What we like is that these secateurs are very easy to use and don’t seem to fatigue your wrist whilst pruning hardwood type stems such as thick rose branches due to the ergonomic design with an angled head plus cushion-shock absorber.

Okatsune models include model 101, model 104, model 108 and model 109, but it is the Okatsune 103 Bypass Secateurs that really caught our attention. Blades may chip or crack through misuse and bad luck, although damage can be ground out with a file. Backed by an impressive 25 year warranty for peace of mind I would be happy to add this secateur to my tool box. Another innovative feature of the Davoen Pro Bypass Secateurs is the finger protection guard located on the lower handle which we think is brilliant and very useful, especially if you are pruning spiky plants.The first thing we will say is they simply do not compare to our ‘Best Pick’, they do cut well, but the rotating handle is not as comfortable to use. They also have removable cutting blades that can be changed easily and they incorporate a sap groove in the blade ensuring the blades do not get stuck together, which most other secateurs do not have.

As the name suggests, anvil secateurs are designed to cut as if a hammer were hitting an anvil, or in this case, a sharp blade cuts into the anvil. If you have stems thicker than 25mm it’s better to use a pruning sawor good pair of loppers rather than risk breaking a good pair of secateurs. Compared to the Model 2, the handles are slightly smaller, they are also slightly lighter and have a slightly smaller cutting diameter, but still wide enough to cut anything we tried them on.If you have been pruning diseased plants then we strongly recommend washing them in disinfectant, something like Jeyes fluid will do the job, this just helps stop you from transferring diseases. Known to Hobson affectionately as his “double yellows”, the bright yellow Niwaki GR Pro secateurs are made with KA70 carbon steel, they’re a 23cm long pair of whoppers, weighing 239g.
