Advantages: fairly good

Disadvantages: Might be a bit big for a small lady hand

I recognize this Draper bypass pattern secateur as one my local conservation society owns for use on work parties .

Draper tools began in 1919 when Bert Draper started by selling government surplus and tools around Kingston upon Thames.

This secateur is quite bulky it has plastic orange handle grips which are spring loaded. These are quite good to grip. I think a lady with small hands might find them a bit difficult.
There is a leather wrist strap attached this is useful for wearing if you need some support also to hold them by easily and to hang them up by on a hook in the shed.

A little black thumb lock is positioned on the Secateur so you can easily lock the blades shut securely.

This secateur is good for pruning, for cutting small twigs and branches. They seem fairly well made and strong.
These blades are quite sharp they are carbon steel and have a non stick coating so they do not get corroded so easily. They have a scissor like action .
A secateur like this will cost about £5- £8.00 .
http://www.trueshopping.co.ukis selling it for £5.75
