Can anybody recommend a brand of rechargeable secateurs suitable for women, most of them seem designed for larger hands? I have had tenosynovitis in the past, and I’m struggling with the pruning again with manual ones this year, so I don’t want it to flare up again.

I’ve had Bosch EasyPrune rechargeable secateurs for several years. I bought them because I was developing arthritis in my finger joints. I find the secateurs very easy to use but if your hands are very small you might find this brand a bit heavy.

Thanks Everdene, I will have a look at those.

I have the Bosch ones too, but do find them a bit chunky, often having to use two hands. However, they do a good job, cutting through up to an inch thickness, and a charge lasts through hundreds of cuts.
