Hello folks.
My (30yr+) old secateurs are coming to the end of their natural. I prefer
anvil type as they seem to be more resilient to light abuse than
pass-through or parrot nose types. After many sharpenings and adjustments of
the anvil, they will no longer cut clean and sharp.
No doubt tech has moved on, and I would appreciate any hints, tips, or
recommendations.
A factor important to me is grip size. I have normal (?) sized hands for a
60yo man. My wifes Sandvik secateurs, whilst good, are too big for me. She
often has to use them double handed. Frequently I'm up a ladder or some such
silliness and a good grip on both items is welcomed. The old ones are Wolf I
think, but any lettering has long since been worn away.

Many thanks.
Nick.
