Ambidextrous design
View more details.
Ambidextrous design means the safety catch is positioned centrally so that it can be easily accessed no matter which hand you use to hold the secateurs, and the handles are not specifically shaped to fit one hand in particular. Most models have ambidextrous handles but several have the safety catch on the left side of the secateurs, to be operated by the right-hand thumb.

Some brands state a "lifetime" warranty rather than a specific number of years. This may be open to debate if you make a warranty claim several years after purchase, so a model with a long warranty stated in years could be a better bet.
