Which one should you buy?

For most gardeners the Gardena Bypass Garden Secateurs at around 34 dollars are the best overall pick, pairing a precise German-made bypass blade that cuts green wood up to 20mm with a comfortable grip and a large review base. Buy the Fiskars Bypass Pruning Secateurs at 25 dollars if you want the cheapest sharp bypass from the category leader, the Spear and Jackson Ratchet Anvil at 30 dollars if you cut a lot of thick dead wood and want the ratchet to do the work, the Kimura 8 inch Pro Bypass at 51 dollars if you want extra reach, Japanese SK5 steel and the highest rating here, or The Gardeners Friend Ratchet at 64 dollars if you have arthritic or weaker hands. Step up to the Felco F-2 Classic at around 99 dollars only if you want the Swiss lifetime benchmark with fully replaceable parts. The single best value, though, is the Gardena.
