The best Secateurs on the Market are felco, they do good range and sizes but i use the number two model and carry them around in aleather hoister , i do lot of prunng things like roses , prices are bit different if you shop about but mainly around the £40
Wouldn't know whether they're the best or not, but Okatsune are quality, made with steel from the land of the samurai. Very happy with my pair and holster, standard 8" about £35, holster £15-ish iirc
Have a look at our battery-powered pruners - http://www.etesia.co.uk/pellenc/pruning-shears.html
We are happy to arrange a demonstrations through one of our dealers.
I've had 'tennis(pruning!) elbow' for a good few weeks. Battery pruners may be the way to go!

Felco, buy the size that fits your hand, keep them razor-sharp, replace regularly as new secs are cheaper than new tendons. :-)
felcos were a great buy when burton mccall would service them for £5 all in.
i still use them (got half a dozen pairs, recently been using a pair of burgon and ball copies, pretty good (and cheaper) but don't know if they will wear as well.
be interested in trying out coronas though...
the felco 8s were always my favourites
I have the Pellenc battery powered pruners. Awesome.
Felco N0 8s for me
Felco No 7's with the roll handle. Have used the same pair for over 10 years now and they are great. Not cheap but easy to service yourself and get spare parts for. I also use a leather holster for them.
I love felco's too, - but only problem is that they don't do a left handed version of the no 6's. so I end up using no 9's which are really too big for my hand. - I've had a pair go through a compost bin before. - 6 months later, and a bit of reconditioning, and good as new.
I always take a spare pair with me when I do one to one's and get clients to compare their's with mine. - Wish I was on commission as they always end up buying some.
