Draper 73729 Precision Curved Pruning Secateurs, 165mm

Better than expected for the price and ideal for pruning houseplants and has coped with a variety of stem sizes so far. Lost a star as like others have said the safety catch gets in the way and locks when pruning downwards- solution is to open secateurs, or push safety catch down and then prune- see pictures- stops them closing completely at the tip but fine further up.

It is the best Secateurs - Draper tool I ever had, especially for homeplants!

Arrived on timeWell packedThese are very good for pruning small plants, they are sharp and the narrow blades are great for accurate cuts in tight spaces.Easily worth more than the very cheap price.

These are perfect for micro pruning where secateurs are too big. I have one issue with them though, the locking catch is a problem (either locking them closed or stopping the cutters from fully closing), this is annoying, but otherwise the pruners do their job very well.

These are my go to snips. I cut a lot of flowers and these stay sharp and cut cleanly, without chewing the green stems. Recommended. I’ve tried lots and these are my favourite. They don’t last forever but are very affordable so several years constant use seems good value to me.

I like to keep my herb plants alive for as long as possible and these precise cutters help me harvest the larger stems of parsley, coriander and basil while leaving the young shoots to grow bigger. The fine, sharp, curved blades make it easier to avoid cutting the stems I don't want to harvest. Only one small draw back is the plastic closer slides down repeatedly and stops the blades from cutting properly. If Draper fixed this small problem this tool would be perfect.

They are sharp and cut well, and there is a little slide that locks them shut when not in use. However, if you are using them and they are angled pointing down, the little slide will slide down the shaft, preventing you from fulling closing and so not cutting. You have to angle them upwards to use or hold the little slide back, which is awkward.

Not the best. But ok for the money.
