WOLF GartenRS5000 Professional Anvil Aluminum Secateurs

Good secateurs. They are much better than the Wolf Garten general purpose anvil secateurs (which had been my secateurs of choice for many years) and well worth the extra money. They give a good clean cut and are comfortable to use if you are going to spend all day pruning. They can cope with thicker stems than the ordinary pair.The only fault so far is that the blade screws came loose - a common problem with anvil secateurs. Fortunately I noticed and found them. They were screwed back in (needs an allen key) and tightened as much as possible and haven't fallen out since despite many hours of use. I'm guessing they were never properly tightened by the factory - so it is worth checking a new pair. But don't let this put you off buying them as they are easy to tighten.

Really well built, Unfortunately there is a gap at the start of the cutting action which means that if you insert your cutters right into the branch there is a small piece of the branch that doesn't get cut, I surmise this is a design fault.Not as good as my old pair.

I have to say I have been slowly replacing all my odd tools for these and bought the hanging rack and so far I am happy with them allThe range is pretty good just a shame they don’t do the lady digging spade and fork

My wife already had a set of these. We bought another set as they were do much better than my ones (even though my ones were more expensive).These are great quality, handle nicely in use and cut really well.

Used for light pruning to test them and was impressed by the action, the lanyard is comfortable to use, as ever time will tell whether they are as good as they look.
