Which to choose?

In Lidl's offers next week there are going to be anvil and bypass secateurs. Please does anyone have advice as to the differences between anvil and bypass, and which is best? Thank you for reading.

 

The basic difference is bypass secateurs cut like scissors and anvil cut like a knife against a chopping board.
Generally bypass are preferred for cutting softer prunings whilst the anvil type are best for hard dry prunings.
Looking at the Lidl secateurs you could treat yourself to a pair of each at the price!!

That`s what I did last year.

 

What did you think of the Lidl ones Pam's dish?
Looks very likely I'll get one of each as well - will have to put up even more hooks in lovely new shed!

 

They work well, still going strong.
