Where can I buy garden scissors like Monty uses - they have a spring - unlike household scissors - so they spring back open after you've cut. And slightly longer blades. Secateurs are useless for cutting back herbaceous plants/deadheading etc, but this type look perfect. Help me please!

I think Darlac is a popular brand. I've got Draper's ones, and I can't remember the other kind.

I'll see if I can find it.
