Not if they are sharp, Felco and used properly.(don't use secateurs where you need loppers)

Felco are good, but you will find that a cheap pair of bypass secateurs will perform well for many years - you
can get them for as little as £1.49 in Asda!

See my remarks above - buy cheap buy twice - or more.
