Secateurs are ideal for thicker, slightly woody stems where you want a clean cut to help plants heal well. Snips suit lighter, more detailed work such as deadheading, cutting herbs and picking flowers for the house. Many gardeners like to keep one of each close by, one pair of secateurs in a holster and a set of snips in a pocket or trug.
At Allotmate Essentials we choose secateurs and snips that feel secure in the hand, give clean, accurate cuts and stand up to real British weather. Build a small set from this collection and you will always have the right sharp tool ready for pruning, picking and everyday tidy ups
