Secateurs recommendations

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I've had a look through some online but I need some small secateurs .
I've got long handled extendable loppers for bigger branches .
I want some small, easy to use , sharp bladed ones , I struggle with the ones I have now .
Maybe too big for my hands, DH finds them OK .

I can see the garden calling me to cut things back ........

TIA

😂

Glad it's not just me. I have been a lifelong Felco fan but was tempted by the Niwaki mini shears (which are brilliant) and somehow found myself buying the yellow handled secateurs. Within an hour or so they have bitten me, and you can't get them reconditioned like the Felcos. Very irritated.

Well that's me sorted out for a Christmas present from DH, thank you

Just need to decide on the size. I think I have medium hands. I always wear gardening gloves so I shouldn't get pinched!

Felco no2, I love mine, they're so comfortable, great cut, my hand doesn't ache after hours of pruning like it did with other types.

This is a helpful guide. Felco 2 for me!

they have an option with a leather holster to put on a belt and presumably for storage too. I wonder if it's worth investing in?

Yes I bought the holster for my no.2, much better than sticking it in my pocket.

I also have their sharpening stone, which works a treat. But you must know how to use it correctly, or you can ruin the blade.

Yes I bought the holster for my no.2, much better than sticking it in my pocket. If you stick it in your pocket, handles down preserves your pocket. You need to be acutely conscious of them if you want also to preserve your fingers.
