FELCO 2 Pruning Shears – 25 mm Cutting Diameter, for Large Hands, 215 mm Length, with Sap Groove, Ergonomic Handles, Red

Brilliant bought to care for my roses, nice and sharp and clean cuts and genuine too always weary with some amazon purchases

Known quality always the first pic

I bought a pair of these for my girlfriend about seven years ago and they're still as good as they ever were. I bought Felco's diamond sharpening stone too and along with common sense maintenance I can honestly see them lasting a lifetime.My mum needed a new pair of secateurs - she has a drawer full of cheap ones, I did my best to fix them up but they're just not good, they're semi-disposable really. So I bought another pair of Felcos and she's extremely pleased. I'll keep on top of the maintenance for her but putting them side by side with a knock off pair she has was laughable.I don't really garden myself (well I do, but I don't love it!) but I like my tools and appreciate a well made precision tool when I see it. There's tools you buy for an odd job that you probably won't use again, so a cheaper one might do. Then there's tools that will be a mainstay of your longterm hobby or work and it's always worth buying the best you can, both economically and for the best results.Secateurs definitely fall into that category as they'll potentially see decades of year-round usage. The fact that the Felcos can be easily maintained, stripped down, have their parts replaced and the business end is made from extremely high quality steel (they come with a precise cutting edge that will pass the "paper test") means that for less than £50 they're a sensible investment. I use a variety of cutting tools in my hobbies and the Felcos are as good as any of them.So, don't have a drawer full of rusty blunted tools! It's a shame that people replace their secateurs when they stop cutting or functioning as they should, whether that's through lack of maintenance or just buying the cheapest ones they can. It's wasteful and a false economy. Grab a pair of Felcos, maintain them, and you'll have years of gardening joy (whatever that is!).

The media could not be loaded. Excellent quality, probably the best on the market, right hand only.

We now have four pairs. One each for the top of the garden and again for the bottom.They have never let us down. Always cut through cleanly. Occasionally we abuse them, secure in the knowledge that Felco will repair them and they come back as new.Yes, they are expensive. We've tried cheaper but they become blunt or distorted. Worth a try at Amazon prices.

Here's a short review for the **Felco FEL6 Model 6 Compact Secateurs**:Fantastic, lightweight secateurs perfect for precision pruning! The ergonomically designed handles provide comfort, while the high-quality blades ensure clean cuts every time.Ideal for gardeners with smaller hands.

I can certainly vouch for the Felco 2 secateurs as I now have two pairs of them!I brought the first pair for my wife 16 years ago and they have been superb. I do keep those sharp and oiled, and that’s a pleasure to do also for such high quality items, part of the joy of owning them in fact.Problem came when we were both out in the garden and when I needed a pair to have in the van...so....looked around at cheaper items, both on Amazon and also in "real life stores" (gosh, shock, horror!). Once you have had a pair of Felcos, you really are just never going to be satisfied with anything else! So, I dug deep and splashed out on a second pair.Interesting that whilst I had kept the others in super condition, the new ones are of course amazing! The quality is still the same, the look and feel the same and yes....I even checked them on the kitchen scales to see if they weighed the same - they do!So, these are the same, top quality items that they always were. Supplied with a very, very sharp blade too – be careful!Yes, lots of cheaper ones around, and yes these are pricey. Here you get what you pay for.However, they really do the job with ease, they are comfortable, they feel great in the hand and they are made to out last anything else you could buy.I have stuck with the model 2 on both occasions as I just like them but would be sure the others in the range would have the same qualities. I might even look to see what other products Felco do as I am a bit of a critic normally with tools and these are even up to my exacting standards!So, if you want a treat and want something really amazing that will last, then don’t hesitate, these are the top choice.A pleasure to use and own.

Buy quality, buy once!!!These snips are in my view the best one can buy
