... tool deliberately because I have a lot of shrubs and bushes to tend to in the back garden. When you've got lots to prune, you want a tool that'll slice through the branches like a pair scissors and these just don't manage that. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. You're much better off either going for a budget number from Wilkinsons or a Supermarket or paying a premium for a better brand. If anyone knows what that better brand is, they're welcome to let me know!...more

I've been a bit disappointed with these pruners considering how much they cost. When I pay £15 for a garden tool I expect it to be exceptionally good at what it does but this just isn't. In fact I've used equally good tools in the past from B&Q and Wilkinsons (the bargain store) for a fraction of the price. The real problem with these is that the blades are quick to blunt and the handles aren't as solid as they should really be. So if you're trying to cut exceptionally thick branches with these, you don't really stand a chance. Even with thin branches I can't say I've found this as easy as I expected them to be.

The tree had needed to be reduced to a stump some years ago as it was up against the house blocking out light and had I needed my house painted. The stump had got away again and I wanted the space for a garden bed. Thus it was that my good old chunky secateurs have disappeared either into the wheely bin with the clippings or will turn up half buried in the soil next winter. Since this was an excuse to buy a new pair I chose Homebase rather than my local hardware store for choice. The manufacturer was never in doubt, since Wilkinson Sword is my favourite name for garden tools. The ... Read the complete review
