So I'm looking for the first time for some ratchet, but then I should
perhaps go for a bypass one ... I just don't know anymore. I've pruned
for so long with secateurs given to me as presents, and there is the
problem now. So I could do with a nice present to myself. Any
suggestions - oh, very petite hands here.

I suggest loppers. I use mine for all twigs thicker than 3/4 inch and tidy up the thinner
bits with secateurs. I wish I bought some ages ago.
