Thank you for such an interesting and informative episode. I’ve always wondered about why there’s different sectors.

Perfect name for your dog. Looks exactly like his name. I'm still using my thirty year old orange steel barchoo secateurs. Only just about a year or two ago i lost the spring now if not careful it pinches my hand. Keep your fingers clear as you can easily cut off the end, that's the tip...

I purchased some Anvil’s from you about a year ago. They are my absolute favourite to prune with. I now need to buy the larger size ones too

Very good video. Felpro 13 is nice for pro use. It is a 1 or 2 handed design and I have really used 2 hands. The aluminum frame hand pruners are all nice however I recommend that apprentice level workers buy a fully forged steel pruner. If left on the ground on any sort of fulcrum the aluminum pruners can snap if someone would step on them. Until a worker learns to put his pruners back into the sheath as a matter of habit it might be best. There is a difference in the best brands vs the cheaper copies.

What is the best tool to use to sharpen secateurs and loppers?

[@ausfoodgarden]

I use some cheap diamond knife sharpening stones. A 240 grit and a 600 to finish off, although you probably don't need the second one. If you use them on bypass secateurs don't forget to get rid of any burrs on the flat side.
