    Hello Everybody

    I'm new to the forum...so please be gentle...

    I am studying design with the Open University, and for my final piece, I have decided to investigate and design an assisted/electronic pair of secateurs.

    I am currently doing some user research into secateurs, and would like your suggestions, thoughts, and any issues you have with current designs of secateurs.
    I have had a quick look through the forum, and see that some of you find it hard to use them, especially with arthritis and other injuries...what would make it much easier for you to use these tools?

    also, what would you consider appealing? I see Bosch have come up with a new pair of electronic secateurs. the Ciso. have you seen these? and what are your thoughts on these?

    what would you be prepared to pay for a pair of secateurs that do the job well, and make life much easier for you?

    any comments, thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!


    thanks

    James.
