Having been tempted by Charlie Pridham I am now considering a pair of Felco
secateurs.

However there seems to be endless choice.

I think I need them for small to medium thickness - that is thinner than
when you start to reach for the loppers - but beyond that I'm not sure.

Trees, roses, shrubs, that sort of thing.

Any recommendations from current users most welcome.

A side use might be to carry in a holster when walking in the country for
a bit of guerilla pruning of overhanging branches from shrubs but
especially brambles. These annoy when they partially or completely block a
footpath.

TIA

I've used a No. 8 for the last thirty years or so. Still as good as the
day I bought it. I've also got a No. 9 (Left-handed) which I bought by
mistake.

Both excellent for general work.

The rotating handle won the day.
Brief trials are impressive.
Guerilla pruning was also a success.
Now to concentrate on not losing them!
