Anybody tried battery secateurs?

They look damned stupid on video, rounded battery so they cant be stood up on a surface.

I'll be the same innards as all the others, note there are a couple of different sizes. I'd suggest getting a Fakita or one compatable with whatever battery platform you already have. Mine are "Mirthbuy" and are decent.

Lad I knew did that 10 yrs ago cut his thumb off, tried to sew it back on not successful though, now got half a thumb, was a proper job.

 Used to use felco battery ones in the late 90's just when they came out, doing a couple of thousand orchard trees each year.

some of the commercial ones for vineyards and orchards now have good safety cut out systems that stops the blades closing if the other hand is too close

Looks like an unessasary faff. What if the battery runs out in the glove, or it gets knocked and stops working, would the cutter still work?

 

We use chainsaws, we dont generally chop out fingers off with those.

 

Concentration, respect the tool and turn it off when not actively cutting, very simple way to keep your fingers.

 

Safety has gone too far. I cant send a bank payment to my father without 20 pages of anti scam questions, fraud warnings, several text message verifications and endless annoyance!

I dunno, if you’re doing thousands of cuts a day it’s not such a bad idea
