    Just received mine. They feel comfortable in my hand but shall probably be too busy to use them today. Mrs Shiney usually does most of the pruning so I shall be interested to see what she thinks of them. At first glance they look and feel good but I don't know whether they may open too wide for her hand.

    We'll see. :)

      No luck for me but still was a nice offer for GC members who got a pair. Agree they look very much like Felco secateurs and also agree black might not be the best colour of handle. Personally I'd like ones in luminous pink/yellow /orange that also flashed when you put them down. I've lost more pairs than I care to admit too...found a rusty pair last week in a pile of 3 year old leaf mould!

            How about a pair that has a buzzer that sounds when you press a button on a little handset?

                Unfortunately, the offer does now appear to be closed (as posted by the op earlier today) Unless ...

                Maybe I could have told Neil I lived near Perth (I do) but perhaps he might have thought I meant Perth Illinois, fat chance:).

                      Well mine arrived today , very prompt delivery. They do look like a high quality steel and well made. I'll give em a try this weekend.
                      Also received a PDF file on email from them on how to use.
                      Deleted the email as I do not trust attachments , also I have been using and designing cutting tools for nearly 50 years so I do know how to care for them. The advice I need is how not to lose them !:biggrin:
