ARS195mm Blade Secateurs | ARS-120DX | Heavy Duty, Single Handed Secateurs with Single Hand Locking, Grip for Safety, Garden Scissors That are Lightweight & Ergonomic

First pair arrived - tips of blades overlap - really dangerous. Cut my finger finding out!The replacement pair I ordered from Amazon arrived and have the same fault.I have had a number of pairs of these secateurs over the years, and never had this problem before. Must be a faulty batch.

I find these secateurs the best I have ever used. Very sharp, well balanced, with a very neat locking catch. I have a box full of other secateurs bought at one time or another but I am in the process of throwing them all out and buying a second pair of these so I have in one the house and one in the greenhouse. I was surprised to see there is only one review for them, and it is, in my view, very misleading. It's true that one blade overlaps the other when they are closed, so you have small triangle of sharp metal poking out, but this is clearly intentional - it gives you a handy gouge useful for poking or scratching out something, and a lot better than trying to do the same job with a single blade while they are open. They are, incidentally, brilliant for cutting up a cooked duck or chicken - infinitely better than the poultry shears in my kitchen drawer.
