Garden Pruners

I bought some ratchet pruners in March from a market stall that sold nothing else! The make short work of much thicker branches than I'd imagine. It was a one-off street market, which doesn't help you much.

Not meaning to be funny - but have you tried searching the internet? I did that for a new long bladed trowel, looked at the pictures and makes, then searched for a local supplier so that I could view them and touch them. This was a successful ploy!
