Hand shear recommendation

Wilderbeast

Can anyone recommend a set of hand shears, the type like secatuars with long straight blades. I have a set of Burton and ball but they just aren't up to the job, the nut and bolt constantly come loose and the spring keeps coming out. There is limited choice that I can see so any thoughts greatly appreciated

Any here come up to the mark?

Or do you want ones more like these?

The head gardener at Newstead Abbey uses ARS KR1000 shears for his impeccable box balls.

Thanks @BenCotto I have seen them and did wonder about the Niwaki Sentei Topiary Clippers I do have there secatuars already and love them, £50 is a big outlay that's all. @Loxley I'm looking at the smaller hand held type. I've also seen the Jakoti shears but they don't look any different in design to the burgon and ball I already have.

Have you considered the Felco 2? Well crafted and extremely durable: https://myhomefarm.co.uk/we-try-out-the-felco-2-secateurs-and-felco-211-60-loppers

Apologies - I misread your original post. You were asking about hand shears. The Felco 2 is a secateur.

Thanks @mrmhf yes hand shears indeed. I think I'm going to get a Japanese pair, terrifyingly expensive but if there like my secateurs then they'll last forever.
