About this deal

The ¾ inch model is their mid-sized pruner of this design, with a ½” and 1” cutting diameter also available. Made with premium titanium steel and topped with an ultra-fine polish, this gold and black tool performs as good as it looks.

While tools like hedge trimmers and other cordless garden tools are ideal for taking on heavy duty tasks, secateurs are a simple, hand-held tool used for keeping on top of pruning, dead-heading, cutting back perennials and harvesting fruit, veg and flowers. Handling: Assessed the secateurs comfort, weight, balance, the safety catch and general ease of use. Its snub-nosed blade created a clean, reliable cut after well over 100 cuts on both dry and green wood.The Corona – AG Long Straight Snip is another pair of pruning scissors that feature a tapered blade to help remove suckers on tomato plants or cut back bushy plants. Due to their long-lasting materials and comfortable grip, we recommend the Felco F-6 pruners for all gardeners needing smaller-sized tools. Geoff Hodges comments on the importance of sharp blades when pruning: "Keep them sharp – just like your best carving knife in the kitchen. We tested indoor and outdoor plants and trimmed thorny rose bushes and thicker citrus tree branches, crops like corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, kale, and other vegetables. They’re unfortunately let down by a lack of grip in the handle, which rendered them almost unusable when it rained, as I found they just slipped through my fingers.

This heavy-duty pruner is incredibly well made — it has an ultra-sharp blade, comfortable handle (for larger hands), easy to use thumb-lock and is intuitive to tighten and maintain. It easily and smoothly performed over 100 cuts through up to ¾”-thick live and dead wood and was still able to cleanly cut through a piece of paper afterwards. This pruner comes with oiler pads to help with the oiling process, a very sharp blade and has a built-in knuckle guard to help protect your hand.

Experts added that the large handles and strong coiled spring made it a particularly comfortable pruner. Even though these were the most expensive pruners, we chose the Felco – F-2 pruners as our best overall because they’re durable, comfortable to use, and you can repair them if necessary. However, if we kept up with daily maintenance through sharpening and cleaning the blades, the pruners were durable and stayed sharp.

With their two sharpened blades that work like scissors, these bypass secateurs offer excellent cutting performance, making them ideal for live or green stem cutting, while a notched blade allows for deeper cuts on thicker stems.These bypass secateurs have a central lever action, which makes them very easy on the hands when cutting, just like a ratchet secateur. These pruners consistently performed well in over 100 cuts of dead wood up to ½” thick without causing too much crushing damage. 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.
