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. Sh e often has to use them double handed. Frequently I'm up a ladder or some s uch silliness and a good grip on both items is welcomed. The old ones are Wol f I think, but any lettering has long since been worn away. Many thanks. Nick. I don't think there are any technological changes. And I don't think brand matters, as long as they're sharp and close correctly on the anvil you're good. NT Sorry to disagree. The brand matters very much indeed. Cheap foreign steel is used to make and supply cheap foreign tools and are a waste of money. Felco I think are the best and that brand is what you need to aim for if it is to last your lifetime. Never buy cheap tools if you need to use them more than once or twice. My Felco anvil secateurs cost me £30 4 or 5 years ago. A lot of money but they have severed lots of wood when I had to break up lots of conifer branches to get rid of. Just my view. Baz |
