My wife has lost her secateurs. All I know about them is that they were
nice, had wooden handles and the blades passed each other, rather than
being
anvil-type. I'd like to buy her a replacement pair, but as a surprise -
any
recommendations?


Generally regarded as the best are Felco (but they are best prices too).

I have a pair made in France for the vinyard people, they were made by
Didier (i think i pronounced it right). They are well made with leather
covered handles. These used to be sold by Axminster Power Tools (Mail Order)
but they dont currently list them. They are very good, and although i have
had them for years i recall they were a bit cheaper than Felco.
