The Stihl Bypass Secateurs are a good quality, solid product. They are made from two cast sections with the blade attached by screws to one side. There is a rachet mechanism located at the pivot point which means that the blade can be adjusted in order to tighten it as it wears. Only one aspect concerned me when I initially received them and that was the latch which keeps the arms in the closed position was made of plastic, i would have rather seen this manufactured from metal, however so far it has performed perfectly so maybe my concern was not justified. I like these secateurs, they work well and are very capable of cutting branches up to 4mm thick with ease.

I bought these because I had misplaced my old secateurs and these had some good reviews, unfortunately I can't say I agree with the other reviews. Within 6 weeks the whilst pruning a rose ( diameter 6mm), the spring fell off and got lost making them useless. Fortunately I have since found my old ones which feel far better anyway. Just because they are Stihl doesn't mean they are any good, they are definitely built down to a price.

Excellent pair of secateurs from STIHL, Very robust ,very sharp, Very good quality, My only qualm is the spring ?, how long will it last. OK a lot of manufacturers use the same type of spring, With a lot of secateurs if you use all the time to last a year is good going.

Reasonable quality blades, strong body but poor quality locking mechanism. Clearly not felco quality but you can't expect that for 25% of the price. Ideal for light usage or for someone whom is prone to loosing tools(I purchased for my mother whom leaves tools in the rain) , however I've had my Felcos for 20 years and they are as good as new. I would hope to get several years use out of these before replacements are needed.

One need not buy more expensive brands to obtain a very well made product with excellent performance. Very sharp and a good clean cut, and able to cut tough shoots very well. I imagine if well looked after will give a good performance over many years.
