TABOR TOOLS S834E Bypass Pruning Shears, Makes Clean Cuts, Professional Sharp Secateurs, Great for M-L Size Hands, Hand Pruner, Garden Shears, Clippers for The Garden

Over the years I have bought many different makes of secateurs. These have to be the best to date. They are very sharp, nice to hold and cut like a dream.

The media could not be loaded. These pruning shears are EXACTLY the same as Wilkinson Sword's Razorcut Comfort Bypass Pruner, but cheaper!If you're familiar with Wilkinson Swords old Razorcut model, then you'll know about the 'Squeeze me' to open mechanism - consisting of a metal spring loaded lever, that simply unlocks the pruners by giving the handles a gentle squeeze. [PLEASE NOTE: Wilkinson Sword have recently revised their model by eliminating this mechanism and replaced the metal lever with an inferior (non-spring loaded) plastic one. You can NO LONGER buy Wilkinson Sword Pruners with the 'squeeze me' to open mechanism - even though they currently still advertise this feature].Despite also being exactly the same size as the Wilkinson Sword version, these Tabor pruners have an even larger opening jaw, allowing for a larger cutting diameter (see side-by-side photos of the two models).Will cut 23-24mm diameter no problem.Very comfortable ergonomic contour with rubber inlay on the handles.Total length (tip of blades to bottom of handle) : 205mmSpring is held in place firmly and will not fall out if dropped or knocked like the traditional foil-type coil that you see on other pruners or secateurs.Highly recommended. You'll have a hard time finding anything better!

The safety catch is a little tight to open but otherwise good product and nice sharp blades

Good service and good cutters they seem to keep sharp as well just the job for the garden thank you.

Because I needed to replace my previous pair of super sharp Gonic secateurs, which were not available, I plumped for the Tabor ones based on the reviews I’d seen.And, thankfully, I’ve not been disappointed.They are in constant use in my garden doing everything from dead-heading right through to removal of thicker shrubbery branches up to about 2cm in diameter. (I dare say they could do wider, but, these days, my grip isn’t as strong as when I was younger, so it is easier to have something with a longer handle and more leverage).I short, a very useful tool which I can recommend, as well as being great value for money when purchased.

I bought this product having read a review for much more expensive Wilkinson Sword secateurs. This review suggested that these Tabor ones were a better purchase so I gave it a go. I am very pleased with them. They are very sharp, the handles are comfortable, the locking catch is excellent - they do not accidentally lock as some other brands do and the quick 'squeeze' release is most useful. I haven't had these secateurs for long but they are already well used and I would highly recommend them.

REALLY sharp blades.Soft touch handles make the secateurs comfortable to grip. The spring action is also just right, not too stiff, not too soft.These feel like quality items. Our last set were fine for a couple of years but one of the plastic levers broke in half so they were rendered useless; pretty certain that won't be the case with these!Recommended.

After about a years use the spring broke and fell off. Not a good buy I was expecting them to last longer.
