The Ratcheting Pruners and Garden Scissors Set makes pruning and snipping in your garden easy.

Handles grip then release each time you squeeze with the blade going deeper into the wood you are cutting through.

The pressure is created by the levering action of gears rather than the pressure from your hand.

This means that even people with arthritis can still usefully enjoy their gardening.

Of course you sometimes need a delicate touch, these are smart enough to realise this.

Go to cut a stem or twig, and they sense the pressure and just cut instead of building the pressure needed for thicker wood.

As you know, conventional secateurs have two blades which can rub together. The ratcheting pruners are of anvil type, one blade squeezing onto metal. But to make the blade last longer the anvil is lined with durable rubber.

You cut smoothly, and end smoothly, without metal scraping or clanging into metal.

In between the work is eased further by the blade being covered with none stick coating.

The set also includes an excellent pair of garden scissors.

Made from stainless steel and with a spring to be responsive and green rubber coated handles, the garden scissors have pointed blades you can snip delicately with, making them a precision garden tools.

But don`t be fooled by the precision and delicacy in use. These are tough enough to slice through cables, wire, even some sheet metals.

The Ratcheting Pruners and Garden Scissors Set makes your secateurs or pruners and garden scissors ready for an upgrade and would also make welcome garden gifts.
