Summary
NO, they're not special shears for trimming shrubs on the local ring-road. Bypass secateurs are the type with one sharp blade that slides against a large curved counter-blade. They give a cleaner cut than anvil secateurs (one sharp blade meeting a block or anvil). But cheap models can be uncomfortable with springs that pinch the hand. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Test the fit - lay the secateurs on the palm of your hand with your fingers spread out. The handle grips should be resting between your forefinger and the fleshy mound at the base of your thumb.
