Spear & Jackson 6758GS Razorsharp Geared Anvil Secateurs

A really solid, dependable pair of secateurs that feel well made from the moment you pick them up. They sit comfortably in the hand and are nicely balanced, making regular pruning and tidying up around the garden straightforward and precise. The geared mechanism provides a noticeable boost in cutting power, meaning you can tackle thicker stems and branches with less effort. They lock easily for safe storage, and the action feels smooth and consistent. I do find that thicker gardening gloves can make operating these a little fiddly, but that’s a minor issue and to be expected with most designs. On very dense or woody stems they can begin to struggle slightly, though that’s more a case of using them beyond their intended range than any shortcoming in the tool itself. They’ve held up really well so far, keeping a sharp edge and showing no signs of wear despite regular use. A great, well-priced pair of secateurs that combine comfort, control and durability - ideal for general garden maintenance.

Super strong , super sharp and super easy to maintain. These are still being used today , years after purchase.

Easy to use but doesn’t have a rachet mechanism if that’s what you need if your grip not the strongest. Good value for money though and supplier dealt with the order very quickly.

The pruners were ideal for what I needed them for rose trees

🧪 First Look Picked these up for pruning back shrubs and clearing dead growth—wanted something that handles thicker stems without chewing through the cut. Straight out the pack, they feel weighty and well-balanced. The geared mechanism gives extra bite without needing brute force, and the anvil design makes short work of dry, woody branches. Used them on rose stems, brambles, and some stubborn hedge growth. Clean cuts every time—no crushing, no fray. The non-stick blade coating helps sap and debris slide off, and the handles are comfy even after a long session. 🧰 Real-World Use ✅ Tackled stems up to 2cm thick—no strain, no wrist twist ✅ Geared action reduces hand fatigue—ideal for repeat cuts ✅ Locking mechanism is solid—no accidental open in the pouch ✅ Used with gloves—grip stayed firm, no slip ✅ Wiped clean after use—no rust or gunk buildup Also tested it on some dry hardwood twigs—bit of resistance, but still cut through with control. Not ideal for green soft stems (bypass style’s better there), but for dry and tough growth, it’s bang on. 👍 Pros ✅ Geared mechanism—extra cutting power with less effort ✅ Anvil blade—perfect for dry, woody stems ✅ Non-stick coating—easy to clean ✅ Comfortable grip—works barehanded or with gloves ✅ Solid build—feels durable, no flex 👎 Cons ❌ Not ideal for soft green stems—can crush instead of slice ❌ Slightly bulky—won’t suit small hands ❌ Lock can be stiff at first—loosens with use ❌ No pouch included—needs separate storage 🧭 Final Verdict If you want secateurs that bite through tough stems without wearing out your grip, the Spear & Jackson 6758GS earns its spot. I’ve tested it across garden graft, hedge clearing, and van stash—no drama, just clean cuts and proper control. Good stash-ready gear for anyone who wants their pruning sorted without the faff.

Really good cut, feels durable, easy to garden with does a really good job. Like the safety mechanism.

Not quite right but worth it for the price.

Very good very sharp

No me convencieron y terminé devolviéndolas. No abre lo suficiente si necesitas cortar ramas gruesas. El sistema de yunque era la primera vez que lo probaba y me resultó poco efectivo. Las tijeras con dobles hojas afiladas trabajan mejor.

La sensazione in mano è quella di solidità, l'ho provata su dei piccoli rametti e taglia bene.

1) Testé sur un rond de bois DN15, le mécanisme de crémaillère ne s'enclenche pas. 2) Ne convient pas pour de petites mains

I was impressed with the quality! They come very sharp and they stay very sharp after years of use!

Not what I had hoped due to the ratchet mechanism not working correctly.
