These secateurs gave me the most satisfying pruning session of my life – they cut through stems like butter

Gloved hand holding Niwaki Sentei Secateurs in garden.

There’s a lot of hype around Japanese gardening tools, but the price tag on some of the products from leading brands always used to put me off a little. A few months ago, I bit the bullet and finally tried out my first pair of Japanese secateurs – and now I’m obsessed.

Niwaki’s Sentei Secateurs are £39 at Amazon, so they’re a lot less expensive than some of the other secateurs in the brand’s range – and they turned out to be some of the best secateurs I’ve ever tried. In fact, snipping away at my plants has literally never been more satisfying – and I couldn’t wait to get back out in the garden and start pruning again.
