Rolcut Anvil Secateurs.
Anyone know what has happened to this British make of secateurs?
Neighbour, a retired Head Gardener, is asking as his, he has had for
ever, are now showing their age and he needs a replacement pair.
He tells me he has done the local GC's without success, indeed he got
blank looks from most.

http://www.staxtradecentres.co.uk/ list Rolcut as a brand they offer.

http://www.spahill.org.uk/ had them in 2003 for sale to allotmenteers - it
may be worth giving them a ring and asking where they got them, as the 2
links above are very much wholesale.

They appear to be made in the Punjab, according to
http://www.uniqueforging.com/ - perhaps they are packed, designed or
marketed from the UK ? Or perhaps 'rolcut' is a design rather than a brand
name ?

I found these through Yahoo UK - sometimes a better search engine than
Google for finding really obscure stuff and smaller businesses.

(because it judges using less emphasis on link anchor text and link
popularity, and more on what's actually there in the page, in case you are
interested...)
