Well, I believe "shears" would
be a large instrument very much like scissors but used for cutting hedges
and is usually operated with both hands. And "secateurs" is a gardening
tool also very much like a pair of strong scissors but for cutting plants,
small branches and etc. (it's used with one hand only)

Now, please translate this for me. I
love to hear from people other than the USA, but I use shears as a synonym
for scissors, and definitely never heard of secateurs - that one
sounds like a critter to me, maybe the Mississippi phonetic pronunciation
