What are the Wolf Garten Professional anvil aluminium secateurs like to use?
An integral spring cushions hands against jarring and making cutting comfortable. The blade feels sharp and is angled so accessing difficult cuts is much easier. Plastic grips on the aluminium handles make holding them softer and less cold. However, the wrist cord just gets in the way and larger cuts were a struggle.
Are the Wolf Garten Professional anvil aluminium secateurs good value for money?
These are pricier than many but have some handy features and a long guarantee. The blades and springs are replaceable.
Who are the Wolf Garten Professional anvil aluminium secateurs most useful for?
Gardeners with large, strong hands for less heavy duty pruning.
