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.

RH..I had seen this site but it seemed to be Trade only but under the
circumstances it is worth a phone call. I've printed it off for my
neighbour.

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

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.
RH..Certainly worth a phone call to discover their source

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 ?
RH.. I concluded they were just using the name to describe the type of
secateurs but if the owner of the Rolcut name liked I'm sure a court action
could ensue.

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...)

Thanks.
