Review: Absolutely Perfect Pruners! A Must-Have for Gardeners - ​I am so thrilled with this pair of handheld shears! They are an absolutely perfect addition to my gardening toolkit. ​What immediately impressed me was how comfortable they are to use. I have smaller hands and often struggle with tools feeling bulky, but these fit perfectly and are easy to maneuver. If you have small hands, don't hesitate—these are ideal! ​Beyond the comfort, the sharpness is incredible. They make quick work of pruning and deadheading, giving a clean cut every single time. Even the tips are incredibly sharp, which makes precision work, like getting into tight spots or snipping delicate flower heads, surprisingly easy. ​These shears feel durable and have truly elevated my gardening game. Highly, highly recommend! ​
Review: Good quality - Good quality, sharp easy to use. The latch doesn’t get in the way when using so comfortable to use, easy to hole and cuts easily through many things when gardening.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the blade length on these?**
A: The blade length is 60mm (6cms).

**Q: Are these suitable for orchids?**
A: These snips have proved to be suitable for all light cutting and plant trimming work. The blades are of high quality steel and stay sharp with a minimum of care. I would expect these snips to be quite suitable for orchids.

**Q: Country of manufacture?**
A: The Darlac literature says  'The company has been based in the Slough area since its inception and in August 2017 was purchased by Mr Fothergill’s Seeds - another great British, family owned gardening company. '
On the product it says the blades are made of Japanese steel.  
Sorry - as I no longer have the original packaging, that is as helpful as I can be!

**Q: Are these suitable for dead heading roses?**
A: Very much so I am a professional gardener and use them for this purpose in fact I have 2 pairs. They are not heavy duty Iwould say they will happily cut up to 3/8 inch thick but ideal for rose or flower dead heading. Hope this helps

Good quality, sharp easy to use. The latch doesn’t get in the way when using so comfortable to use, easy to hole and cuts easily through many things when gardening.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ P for Perfect!
*by H***R on 5 December 2025*

Bought for my wife who has arthritis in her hands and loves her garden. She hates the standard garden shears and these are perfect. Not to heavy not to light. Exceptionally well made and have a great cutting action. They do not open massively as she has small hands. I was over the moon when they arrived and at £14 they are reasonably priced. Truth be told I would have happily paid £25 as they are so well made. The cutting action is smooth and precise. Would definitely recommend, will update my review after Christmas 2025.
