5Lovely secateurs, but it is a great pity that the National trust is associated with them. I am presuming that somewhere "along the line" they will get a percentage of the sale of each tool and it grieves me that I have unwittingly supported the National Trust. For me they are the National Distrust. They turn the blind eye, make excuses for or just choose to ignore the hunting of wildlife on NT land. They are ambivalent in their response to Hunts damaging scheduled archealogical sites. Although NT are a dead loss that I wish you weren't associated with, your secateurs are super. I am submitting as anonymous because hunts employ violent terriermenAnonymous

4I bought these as I was fed up with my Felco ones locking every cut. These do not do that so much but you do have to hold them so that gravity doesn't close the wire retainer anyway.
After enjoying the feel of old fashioned secateurs for a while, a long while to be honest, I was reminded why ergonomic ones were invented - no blisters.phillip murfin

5Really high quality, lovely pair of secateurs. The clip which holds them together was rather tight to click into place, but nothing a pair of pliers couldn't solve.

3Super looking but only suitable for a very large hand. With the handles at a manageable width the blades are already almost closed.
These will need to be used two handed - not at all what I had hoped for,Julie Gomersal

2This finish on the secateurs is not the best. For the price I thought that the wood would be better sanded as I think you could get a splinter. I find it curious that I cannot find where these were manufactured. While there is a constant reference to Sheffield but there is nothing to confirm that the company actually make anything there.John-Pierre

3Rather disappointing purchase. While they look lovely, they don’t work comfortably for any long period of gardening. Even wearing gloves the handle has caused blisters. Most annoying is the clip keeping the blades closed, which clips back back on repeatedly during usage. And clips off far too easily when not in use.
Hi Christopher,
I`m so sorry to hear this. You are welcome to return these to us for a replacement pair? Or if you`re not happy with them altogether then we can issue a refund for you if that`s more suitable? Do let us know if we can help via customerservice@outdoor365.co.uk.

4Stylish and well made but with a glaringly obvious, design flaw. The small metal clip which holds the handles/blades together for storage, reattaches itself when the secateurs are in use and this is extremely frustrating. The only solution was to tape the clip when using the tool and remove the tape for storage.Jim

5A really great pair of secateurs! Very much recommended - they work well and are manufactured in a traditional way with wooden handles. Hopefully they'll last for a lifetime to serve us in the orchard!Simone

A beautifully designed addition to the National Trust collection by Burgon & Ball these secateurs are a gardener's best friend. The blades are perfectly aligned creating an edge which will retain its sharpness and deliver a clean cut each time.
Crafted from steel, the blade extends the entire length of the handle for additional strength. Finished with brass rivets, these secateurs have a touch of classic elegance.
Presented in a Burgon & Ball gift box this is a stunning gift for botanists.
The award winning Burgon & Ball can trace their manufacturing of fine gardening tools in the industrial heartland of Sheffield to 1730. Their highly skilled metalworkers use time tested, traditional techniques and heat-treated, high-carbon steel to craft luxurious, long lasting equipment. Today Burgon & Ball are the largest manufacturers of sheep shears in the world and lead the way in innovative garden tools and accessories, endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society.
