Ryobi One+ 18V HP Brushless Pruning Secateurs - Tool Only

I recently bought myself Brushless Pruning Secateurs for Mother's Day. I was finding regular secateurs harder to use as I have some arthritis in my hands. I thought that with a battery assisted set it might make life easier for me. I was correct. The new secateurs snipped the their way through the pruning task with ease without damaging the plant in any way. The wait time between snips was minimal so pruning was completed efficiently. I like the mechanism for opening and closing the secateurs when starting and ending use of the tool. The beeper was a good alert for these functions. One thing I will say, however, is that this tool must be used carefully as the blades are very sharp and the cut quite powerful. Spare fingers need to be kept well out of the way. ... MoreI recently bought myself Brushless Pruning Secateurs for Mother's Day.

Initially I thought the tool with battery loaded might be heavy but I found it well balanced and not a bother weight-wise to use with my 'problematic' hands. Love it! And my Ryobi blower, rotary tool and staple gun. My green tool family!

Once you start getting that little bit older you find things get a little harder in the garden! Thank goodness for Ryobi I say. I purchased a pair of the gardening pruners and can I just say wow! The ease of use is amazing, I no longer struggle with trimming any branches as these bad boys just snip through whatever I need to cut like butter. I would definitely recommend these. I also purchased a trimming saw ( just like a mini chainsaw) for those bigger branches that were just that little bit too big for the pruners. The only thing I would say against these products is not really Ryobi’s fault but you can get a little out of control lol only because they are so easy and fun to use. Happy Ryobi’ing everyone

I need to cut back bushes and branches of trees quite often and like to cut them into smaller pieces to fit more into my council green bin. This used to be quite tedious with regular secateurs.This however makes it very easy. It cuts green branches a bit over thumb thickness pretty easily, which brings me to the point .... watch your fingers.Unlike regular secateurs which you'd stop if you started to get a finger in the way, this one will keep cutting. So be very careful of your fingers and definitely keep a long way from children.
