We loved the ergonomic design, as well as the red, rubbery covers that provide a secure grip while adding a cushioning feel—no hand pain here even after a lengthy session in the garden. The pruners have a steel nut and bolt that allow for tiny adjustments of the blades to secure the exact angle that works best for you. There's even a small groove on the edge of the pruners for snipping landscaping wire or similar materials so you don't damage the blade with such activities.

The wire cutting notch in the blade provides for every eventuality and avoids the temptation to risk blunting your bladeWhen you buy from a leading secateur maker you’ll be able to buy with confidence and own a tool that will give you years of service.

Bypass secateurs are for cutting living, green growth, for example live stems, branches and plant material . Anvil secateurs are used for cutting tough, old, dead wood. Being hardened steel they keep a sharp edge for longer between sharpening’s. Handy if your not that diligent at keeping your tools sharp. The typical pruner is between six and eight inches in total length. For most people, any size within that range will be comfortable to use and hold. However, if your hands are particularly large, you’ll be more comfortable with a pruner at the upper end of that range or even beyond it, while those with especially small hands will prefer a pruner that’s towards the lower end of the range. The Felco 6 is designed for comfortable use by gardeners with small-to-medium-sized hands. The top mounted safety catch is great for when working up ladders etc as it can be operated with the cutting hand. The handles are aluminum wrapped in a soft plastic that provides some cushioning to your hand as well as improves your grip. While these don't have any mechanism to make squeezing the handles through stems easier, most buyers felt the pruners were easy to use. However, a few people said that these bypass pruners didn't hold up well to rigorous use and that the spring broke while they were trying to cut through a small branch. The pruners are 8 inches long, which is suitable for most hands other than very small or very large. They are best used to cut through live stems and greenery, rather than dead wood.
