– Darlac Expert Bypass Pruning Shears - SK5 Carbon Steel Blade Garden Secateurs - Cutting Capacity of 25mm - Ideal Garden Tool for Allotment Owners or Gardening Gift for Women and Men, DP1030A

Bought for my wife to replace a set she hadnt look after too well. Strong well made and stand abuse, keep them clean and should last for ever.

They're not bad for the money, but I didn't find them anything to rave about. I've spent that much on DIY store models and although these may be a little better, they don't live up to the hype. I did return them. The main reason for the return was noticing that the blades don't meet and cut precisely along their length, so cutting a thin stalk near the base of the blade would result in a tear rather than a clean cut. For general purpose garden work, they're not bad and should last well, but you won't get the best cut you could although that would of course cost you somewhat more. Take your pick, either pay this amount and get basic, or pay double or triple at least, and get a clean precise effortless cut.

I usually buy Felco secateurs, & although they are excellent, they are a bit expensive. I decided on the Darlac secateurs & I'm very happy with them. They cut very well & are extremely sharp. That said, they are on the heavy side.

These are brilliant, you dont need to spend more. Quality product, work really well. These should last a lifetime (as per the warranty). Easy to unlock and lock. Great cutting action (15/20mm no problem). Durable build and design. Replacement springs available for 5 years time or if lost due to poor maintenance. Everything needs a bit of "lube" especially when you get old.

Bought for my Dad who uses them all the time. They're now 3 years old and good as new. Still sharp. Still comfortable. Excellent!

In a woodlands setting with thick gloves I’ve noticed that putting the safety clip back having closed the blades can be an issue regarding it working, a bit of an art.

These secateurs are easy and comfortable to hold. Adjust cut to suit. Small spanner provided to replace parts. Effective trimming for those who find other secateurs difficult to hold, work well.

Although the product looked new ,I believe it was a return from another customer as the box was cut in half and the cable ties had been cut holding the item to the box

Purchased these to replace a Felco pair we lost in our green waste collection. They are a fraction of the price however they work well, only issue is the locking mechanism which is a bit tinny, hence the 4 stars. Recommended purchase!

I think it would do the job for what it is supposed to do. Have not used it, it is winter so no snipping roses etc, but it looks good and it it looks sturdy.

Excellent tools for vineyard work

General garden pruning.
