just started using cordless secateur

you press a trigger and they close and then when you let go open again
2 settings for the width of the opening

 

wow , what a lucky escape
i put my finger in a light holder once to see what the material sticking out was - and it was on - pow - over i fell

 

@Nikolaos , thank you so much for that info. They look absolutely great, but the only problem would be the price. I like the Bacho as well and I could see me getting through a mountain of jobs without pain. V

 

£150, with 2 batts , free postage off ebay

Also i know a pro gardener , who uses them pretty much everyday and still going strong after a couple of years of use.

he recommended these

I was hoping for a Stihl pair , most of my garden tools are Stihl, but they do not make them, and when they did apparently they cost over £1000 !!!!!!

 

Many thanks for all the good information. V

 

Just an update really , i use the secateurs a lot now ,
Yesterday I pruned a buddleia down, usually i would have various loppers and tools out to cut. This year with the cordless secateurs, i did the lot and cut up for the bin.
Much easier and quicker.
And easier on the hands standing over the bin cutting the stuff up to smaller bits
