GRÜNTEK Professional Bypass Secateurs Falke – SK5 Teflon-Coated Blade 48mm | Ergonomic Garden Pruning Shears for Precise Cutting

Brilliant, easy to use and sharp

German quality, excellent. Sharp and strong.Finally I have bought a proper one after so many cheaper Chinese items which went blunted after a month.I recommend this.

Needed a new pair as I’d been putting up with a pair that butchered branches. They aren’t the best quality but they are decent enough and sappy and firm branches have been cut neatly. I was in a mind to splash out but these are good value. Nice feel to them. Like the green rubber round the handles it makes them more comfortable. Just the right size for roses and eleagnus.

It was time for a secateur upgrade, one pair apparently lost (!) another pair (cheap as chips) falling apart. I had a bit of a cast about and despite some negative reviews these seemed to fit the bill at a decent price. Not sure why I didn't buy them sooner, they appear really well made and feel sturdy in the hand. I don't have overly large hands but there is no issue in use and they do appear to be extremely sharp and have remained so after some inital use. They are branded as German Gruntek, not sure if they are made in Germany or ubiquitous China, the packaging doesn't say, but wherever appears to have done a good job. The rubber bump stop is a nice addition and leads to easy, fatigue-free operation and reduces the possibility of catching your skin in the closing blades.

Very good. Well made and sharp. Fit in the hand well. Great product.

Sharp and feels well made unlike a lot of the cheaper ones out there. Cuts cleanly through a range of thicknesses and very happy with the overall performance.

These are very sharp and do an excellent job of pruning any shrub or rose .I like that they easy to hold and use ,good value for the price .

These are pretty good secateurs, but not without flaws.Pros:- Mostly easy to use- Acceptable handle grip- Sturdy feel- Lightweight- Fits in standard secateur holstersCons:- Not as sharp out the box as other secateurs I have purchased have been- Design is basic and uninspiredConclusion:These secateurs will get the job done. They have achieved a very sturdy feeling item, whilst keeping the weight low. That said, the inner rubber that should shield the secateurs on full squeeze has already begun to tear away after only two weeks of use. I would strongly suggest using a tool sharpening kit, or whetstone to keep it in prime condition.
