Product Information

Drop forged body and handles, quality blade made of high carbon steel with Ultra-fine Polishing Technology. Although some cheaper brands offer lifetime warranties, it’s usually best to purchase a more expensive pruner that will last a lifetime.

Leading pruning specialist Jake Hobson learnt the craft of tree training, pruning and rootballing in rural Osaka, and founded Niwaki (it means “garden tree”) to bring Japanese techniques to Western gardens. In fact, after over 100 cuts of wood up to an inch thick, it was able to cut paper like it was a new pair of scissors. They have a strong, wide cut, which also makes them easy to sharpen and clean and the handles have comfortable rubber grip inserts so they're comfortable and warm to use. With hardened steel blades, you can sharpen them for every use–a recommendation they highlight to keep your pruners in top shape.

Whether you have a large bushy garden or a small balcony with plants, secateurs are the perfect tool for any modern garden. The secateurs feel chunky but light and the ergonomic handle protects the wrist and hand, making longer pruning jobs less tiring.

This piece is covered by a lifetime guarantee, so if any part fails or doesn't function as it should, it can easily be replaced.However, while they promise the standard 20mm cutting capacity I’ve come to expect from many brands, the reality is more like 15mm. Premium carbon steel blades and an aluminium handle make them sturdy and robust, yet lightweight and comfortable to grip throughout use. The ¾ inch model is their mid-sized pruner of this design, with a ½” and 1” cutting diameter also available.

Handling: Assessed the secateurs comfort, weight, balance, the safety catch and general ease of use.

We sent two samples of 10 standard bypass models of secateurs to be tested by the gardening team at Great Dixter in East Sussex. Fortunately, Felco pruners have both the reputation of lasting a lifetime and offer a limited lifetime warranty. Rather than having two blades bypass one another, anvil-style cutters have one blade come down onto a thicker, flat surface (sometimes referred to as a pocket). I’m not alone: The Telegraph’s gardening expert Bunny Guinness has described them as “life-changing, so sharp, so well made – they have done me prouder than any other make I have owned. Ratchets do make cutting easier on the hand, but they add more moving parts and therefore complicate the equation, introducing more scope for things to go wrong.From pruning plants to trimming overgrown rose bushes to cutting small branches, these compact yet mighty accessories can do wonders for your space. While these pruners fit for average-sized hands, they still feel comfortable in smaller hands compared to other pruners.
