Accurate, well lubricated secateurs

I recently bought a similar model of these secateurs from Home Depot, they had titanium coated blades or something. After a short period of use, the blades became very sticky and lost their smoothness. I wanted a replacement but was hesitant at first. They have greatly improved these secateurs by adding a slippery coating to the blades. Impeccable work, just note that they are for small jobs (trimming, removing suction cups, etc.). The blades look like they have no rust and after a month or two of heavy use they are as smooth as they came out of the box! The slide closure works great with one hand and the lace cover is a nice addition. I have no doubt that they will last a very long time. My only comment: I wish the handle was a bit thicker. I don't have very large hands, but a slightly thicker grip would make them more ergonomic. This is very minor although it won't stop me from buying them again.

Pros
