Product Information

This is useful if you want to save on waste and replace the necessary parts rather than the entire item. If you have some thicker branches to chop through, loppers or a pruning saw are better alternatives. On test, they were comfortable to hold, easy to use and effective at pruning fresh green shrubbery as well as thicker branches. The rotating handle is a brilliant feature on these winning secateurs, as it rotates with your hand as you cut, giving added comfort and a more natural squeezing action. These compact pruners would suit those with smaller hands who struggle to cut through thick or particularly tough branches.

This cutting action causes the least damage to a live plant, as growing plants can easily heal from a clean cut.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. Twice as sharp than the average blade, this revolutionary tool boasts a superior chassis that will stand the test of time. This design is brilliant for everyday use as it’s quick and effective at pruning an array of shrubbery.

The design of the blades on secateurs make it easy to get into small gaps and to prune side stems flush with main stems. 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. They’re good for those who lack strength or who have a lot of pruning to do and anyone looking for lightweight, comfortable secateurs. They offer two positions on the safety catch to suit both small and large hands and the blade features a useful wire-cutting notch and can be replaced using the supplied spanner.Oil sponge: It’s quite rare, but some pruners feature an integrated oil sponge which you can use to clean and lubricate the blades after use. Our testers found the shape of the handle and the rubber grip comfortable in use, although it’s quite a chunky handle, so would suit larger hands. We have everything for the dedicated and occasional gardener alike, as well as providing great places to visit for a great cup of coffee and much more. Having worked in the GHI for over 3 years, Katie has tested the majority of household appliances, from dishwashers to vacuum cleaners! 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.

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. With all of this in mind, it can actually be quite a daunting task when selecting this essential tool and it’s easy to make mistak es. Both our bypass and anvil secateurs are made with high quality SK5 carbon steel heat treated blades, with dual position catch allowing you to adjust the span of the handles.With the sharpest, hardest, anti-rust blades on the market, these secateurs will stand the test of time and come with a confident 10 year guarantee. Next, you need to think about comfort, do you need extra cushioning or even a revolving handle to make the job a little easier? Furthermore, not only are a good pair of secateurs or loppers essential but choosing the right style for the job is imperative. This can also vary more than you expect, a pair of secateurs can weigh anywhere from under 100g up to 400g.
