    ps; the ratchet anvil ones are not good on thin green material only good for large woody stuff.

    I'm tempted to try a ratchet anvil type.  At least would stop me trying my bypass on inappropriate wood! Artjak, I treated myself to a felco earlier in the year. They do a smaller lighter version (no 6) of the most popular for slightly smaller hands. And they avoided the temptation to colour it pink or purple!

    Supernoodleimage I was always 'losing' my screwdriver on building sites, then my sister bought me one with a handle covered in roses; it NEVER went missingimage

    But I would hate to have to buy pink or purple garden or carpentry tools just because they fit a woman's handimage I will look up Felco No 6.

    Just looked it up; beautiful, but pricey and does not have the rotating handle which I have got used to (very weird at first though).
