Snapper 1000mm Reach Pruner Pruning Secateurs Sharp Lightweight | Sharp, Lightweight, Pruning, Deadheading, Garden Tools, Gardening

Brilliant, I have a 6ft deep border that I grow cosmos in each year. This allows me to deadhead the cosmos at the back of the border without having to wade in there standing on plants and getting muddy shoes. It’s that good at this job I’m reluctant to use it for anything else tbh, it was expensive enough that I want it to last and it’s made a pain of job relatively easy. The handle and head seem very sturdy, the shaft is just aluminium, I’m guessing for weight saving so I’d imagine it could get easily damaged if stood on or hit with anything. For me this is a 5 star product just because it does a specific job extremely well

Added one of these to my growing collection of Darlac kit , and as a result bought an extendable one as well, an excellent tool...if I had one complaint ot would be that its east to trap your finger when releasing the handle that operates the cutting mechanism ....

We've been using this snapper mostly for trimming thin branches off trees, and for this it works well. It's very adaptable to various angles and not too heavy, although it's best not to use it for too long, as it can cause pain in the wrist and arm, especially when the branches are a bit tougher. I wouldn't try and cut anything thicker than the diameter of your little finger.

A very handy tool, which lives up to its billing, providing long reach pruning capability in situations where a step ladder or other means of achieving proximity to target would be required. The cutting hold facility is very welcome as the ageing process impacts on my stooping and bending flexibility. The trigger action and supporting hand grip are also well designed for arthritic hands and joints. Best of all, it makes me look the part!

I am so pleased with these secateurs. They are light, easy to use, well made. I am in my 70s and not very tall but now I can dead head my climbing roses, no need for steps or ladders.

I love this!!!! I live in a sheltered scheme, and have a 12 ft square raised flower bed of my own. Two sides are on the flat, or on the railings, making it difficult for me to reach over to all the plants. I wanted to dead head my lavenders, and this is perfect, it can reach right over and is very SNIPPY. Obviously you are only able to do a couple of plants at a time as they arn't long shears, but i just do a little a day. I love the futuristic look of them-they are rather addictive- You wonder what you can SNIP NEXT.

Nice and easy to use I've only just starting it so it's to early to say if it will last it's light weight and comfortable to use. I clean it after using it which means spraying the blade with oil to prevent the blade from rusting and to keep everything operating. If you are looking to cut thin stems or branches then this is for you it's nice and sharp and good value I wish I had gone for the longer reach but that's a personal choice

I bought two of these cut & hold, one longer and this one. The first one lasted for just over a year. the second lasted just over 3 months. Contacted Amazon for return and refund the second without any problem - thanks. These are not cheap but stop working. I just bought ARS brand (Japanese made) much more expensive but I am pleased that it is razor sharp and workmanship is superior to Darlac.
