Spear & Jackson 6758GS Razorsharp Geared Anvil Secateurs

Can just sit back and let the grass get out of hand may not be fit and ble as once was but not. Ready for the box yet. Got to keep ative

I have small hands (small female hands with short fingers) and moderately weak wrists, so I sometimes struggle using secateurs on dense woody stems, but I genuinely found it easier with these. I also found the scissor-like handle made it easier for me to fully open up the secateurs without me dropping them, which is another problem I have because of my small hands. They are quite light in weight but they feel sturdy. I have only used them a couple of times so far, but so far so good.

A gardener friend told me my tall dragon plant, which was leaning heavily to one side, was dying and taking all the energy from the small offshoot at the base. I purchased a secateur, following Amazon’s recommendation, and was amazed how easy it was to use, old part of the plant cut into several pieces in a matter of seconds. Just one snag, I switched the red plastic safety catch only to find the tool opened up soon after. In an item so well made the catch should be fitted with a snapping or clicking device, not just needing a push and sliding it down. Hence four stars (offshoot doing fine).
