Electric Secateur Review. Best Electric Secateurs? Let's find out! 

I have the ryobi, I have 30 rose bushes and this year they where brilliant. Stops that forearm pump! Highly recommend.

As a hobby gardener I have to disagree and say that the Ryobi is a superb tool for the money. I already have a plethora of other Ryobi 18v tools and batteries so when I saw this come out in the market last year it was a no-brainer to purchase. Yes it's not a sprinter, but very capable. I also purchased the Ryobi mini electric saw for anything larger in diameter. It takes the same blade as a recip saw but the shorter ones. Again it fits the same battery and is super efficient with such a small blade. Add to this the 6 year warranty on all Ryobi 18v tools it's worth buying and swapping over in a couple of years should it die or get slower. Otherwise, love the channel and videos 👍👌

I love it when a tradesman gives an honest review comparing professional and homeowner tools, without the snobbery. After seeing your review I would love for you to review the new MILWAUKEE pruning shears.

We did buy the more powerful Ryobi $215 brushless ones. We took back the $149 ones and got a refund. Big difference.

Great review. So glad found your channel, there are a lot of people who get answers and learn from you. Thank you for your efforts.

Thanks Tim. I have 300 chest nut trees that need constant pruning

I will have to get one of these, we have a never ending battle with evasive bamboo in our soft alley behind the house. My wife and I managed to clear the yard of 20 foot stalks, hand cutting and poison and finding the roots but the neighbors don't do anything in their yard so it grows back. This would make that job so much easier. At 67 years of age I am looking for easy...lol

Recently a farm worker in northen victoria lost his finger using a corded type, the cable got tangled in the branches and he cut the finger in the process. I suggest anyone using a similar one to practice keeping your other arm away, better still ditch it for cordless and use extra batteries instead!

Great review... helped me make a decision to purchase the Bahco Secateurs. I have a job lined up in two days time to prune 30 massively overgrown old-world roses. Based on my practicing on dormant fruit trees in my garden - "I can't wait to get stuck into it". Many thanks for your good work keep the reviews coming they are a fantastic resource!!

you know... most people always go for the videos from the largest accounts. I've been trying to find an actually good comparison field review of the ryobi vs professional brands... AND YOU DID THAT PERFECTLY! Thank you fellow gardener. I am going to go for the Bahco!

I've never in my life heard of pruning shears referred to as "secateurs". You learn something new every day.

Used a set of felco’s for vineyard pruning back in 04 and they were scarily fast. But if you’re doing 100 or less, just use secateurs

I just bought a budget electric pruner. We have nearly 200 trees and I realized after the first day that manual pruners just don't cut it.

Thank you so much for your upload. Your experience and perspectives really help navigating to find what I need

Another great review, Tim. I learn so much more from your videos than anywhere else. Keep up the great work.

Good to see those compared, but TTI the makers of Ryobi (20mm cut) also make the AEG secateurs too with a 30mm cutting capacity ($399 skin), however I also appreciate the Ryobi loppers & pole loppers too.

Nicely done Tim. Thanks

Really great review. So much better than than all the faux "best of" videos that just repeat seller's marketing language.

when watching some pros in an orchard with the corded backpack style, they wore a light long-sleeve shirt over the backpack and ran the cord down the sleeve to the shears.

The cable on the falco's would do my nut in!! If I were to buy something like this, I'd probably go for the Milwaukee's

bahco looks impressive in getting the job done.

I have the Bosch blue secateurs. Similar size and speed as the Bahco, just doesn't have the jaw adjustment. But at about AUD350 shipped with a 3Ah 12V battery, it's not too bad.

Quickly double tap the trigger on the felcos for the proportional jaw adjustment feature.

You gotta try the Kebtek shears. 25mm version and a 45mm commercial version for FAR less money. At first, I thought the Barco's were Kebteks (same orange color). The 25mm Kebteks (US$125) will put that s l o w Ryobi to shame for the same money (and includes case, two batteries and charger). The commercial 45mm version (US~$250) has an optional 6' extension that lets you reach high up into trees or deep bushes. I don't have the commercial version but can say the smaller shears are a pleasure to use. I'd recommend them to any homeowner or small orchard owner.

I was waiting to hear the price since I wanted the fancy battery one and I instantly changed my mind after hearing the 1100 dollar price tag 😂

Great video Tim. Nice to see the smiling faces of Hoogies Rural 😁. Would have liked to have seen Infacos in your comparison. And would love to see you try foot paring sheep with them!

"If you really love instructions, you'll love the Felcos."

Excellent review, I have a smallish vineyard in Oregon. I think the slow speed of the Ryobi, Scotts, or SunJoe means that I will not cut as thoroughly through my fingers (or the wire). Using a machine lets you keep working longer which has a bigger effect on the time to do a row than the speed of the jaws.

French company Infaco make great cable secateurs they are in two size depending on branches sizes and a pole option

Thanks mate, nice comparison and helpful info.

Very clear & helpful info.Thanks

$60 more gets you a brushless Ryobi version that cuts up to 23mm dry or 28mm green vs 20mm dry and 25mm green for the version tested.

Can't wait to get a set to relieve the stress on my pruning hands. 1100 is a steep price to pay though.

Bloody great review. Thankyou.

Nice review. Still want the Felcos

Good job Tim. Thanks

Good job. Thanks.

Tim Thanks found this video very informative, also AEG have just released a pair of cordless secateurs, would like to see a review/ comparison with these ones as well

very nice review, thank you very much!

Saves my hands

I wish the fencing industry had something similar for cutting wire.

Really wishing the ryobi was available in the US. My moms got bad thumbs and just needs to use it around the house. We can import one from Japan but it doesn’t have swap-able batteries.

Use 812 for tree and 802 for vine

Could you please do a test on reciprocating saw- versus pruners and versus secateurs and mini saws and saws. Brand versus brand and prices please Chargers and batteries and hours on cordless Blades can be replaced with or without sharpening Using on different thicknesses to cut fruit trees and to cut green branches and dead branches on trees and shrubs Cutting roses and anything else in garden with different blades and interchangeable blades. I need it to be very versatile for branches-roses and other things in the garden with cordless using the same tool Buying in a package. Is it cheaper to buy it separately with the batteries and charger. Thankyou and you are doing a great job with your work.

They are great not just for orchards.

If you put a bigger battery on the Ryobi it will give it loads more power

That injury on your hand looks like Dupuytren's contracture.

Thankyou

you must have a lot of fun, testing equipment

Makita new 12 volt ones look nice.

Yer got ryobi pole pruner. Was laughed at abit. Cos do trees mainley big hedges. But for 300. I love it. But bahco looks great

Ryobi 👎 as I have mentioned in another video can not get the battery off easily. Too wide can not grip it and push the buttons together. Stuck with it now but I am not happy. Love to know the price of the recomended one.

I just bought the Ryobi secateurs but I'm not sure about maintenance. What parts need lubricating, how often and what type of oil do I use? Thanks

Not having a vinyard that Ryobi looks an ace tool. Do you really cut all the branches off te crown ?

Sweet

Hello, would you like to review this model bosch pro pruner, and if possible some cheaper models

Bahco looks identical to Kebtek. Pretty sure it's made by the same company and rebranded.

You bought the cheaper ryobi they make a larger one as well .

Is there anything in between the cheap Ryobi and the $2000 bahcos?

Are these good for dead dry branches?

Como fazer para comprar uma, muito interessante.

Ryobi has another level of this pruner which is quicker and more powerful.

Have you used them on sheeps feet.

What model was the Bahco pls Tim

Are those fig trees?

Somethings wrong with your ryobi! Its not that slow normaly.

Well do not like the falcon stupid cord . And you have the cheapest ryobi they make a larger ryobi pruner they work well . And for the price ryobi definitely wins.

In pakistan

Run the cable up your sleeve and out the collar of your top. I thought everyone did that already.
