What are the Darlac Compound Action Pruners like to use?
These compact little pruners have short, strong SK5 carbon steel blades, coated to prevent sticking or jamming. They also have a central lever action, which makes cutting smooth and easy and they can handle even thicker stems effortlessly. The blades are short, which makes them a little tricky to sharpen and maintain but they have a 20mm cutting width. They're light and comfortable and the handles have extra grip, which stops the plastic handle getting slippery. The safety catch, which is on the top, is easy to flip on and off with the thumb.
Are the Darlac Compound Action Pruners good value for money?
These work well, are very well priced and come with a lifetime warranty. We think they're excellent value for money.
Who are the Darlac Compound Action Pruners most useful for?
Great for all small, repetitive pruning jobs like cutting back perennials or deadheading. Their compact, light design also makes them best for smaller hands.
