Felco FEL2 Model 2 Original Secateurs

 

Good morning @Jenny namaste my good friend yes because in my humble opinion Felco are the best they will looked after last you a lifetime,made in Switzerland Once you've used a Felco secateurs you wonder why you put up with the cheaper alternatives. The design gives your hand many times the leverage power than when using inferior quality secateurs. It slices effortlessly through live or dead wood and its spring is powerful,and responsive. Being a Swiss design all the components are replaceable and like a Swiss Army Knife the philosophy is this is a tool for life.Model 2 are the smaller ones just right for a lady,model 8 are for larger hands

• Comfortable, lightweight, sturdy aluminium alloy handles
• High quality hardened steel blades, forged aluminium alloy handles, wire cutting notch
• Anvil blade with sap groove, rubber cushion shock aborbers
• For a medium to large hand, right Handed
• Lifetime guarantee, all parts replaceable

ps my original pair are 55 years old

 

Good morning @Jenny namaste my friend well they do seem expensive to most people but when you divide £38 by 30 years + its only pennies per per year where as you could get some for £10 and then keep spending £10 every year. that's how I see it anyway

 

@Jenny namaste Felco's are the best in my opinion, I have 1s as you can take them apart really easily to sharpen an clean.... The pair I have now I have had for 20yrs and they are still like new.. I also have a pair of these a swivel pair and they are fantastic.! https://www.worldoffelco.co.uk/cate.../felco-model-7-professional-secateurs/L91~L91
I really don't think you can buy a better make myself..

 

I always keep mine in a leather holster on a belt,makes me feel like a cowboy

 

I have the No. 8 and they're great. I also have a set of Sensei and have to say they're on a par

 

Good evening @Verdun you can be the sheriff,just make sure that you remember where you put the belt when you take it off

 

Ha you two.!! So do we have sheriff and deputy here then @Verdun and @wiseowl...

I had to go and look to see what number ones I have and I have a pair of #2s which I had first, then I got a pair of #7s(the swivel ones) I wouldn’t be without either of them.. They are both cleaned and sharpened each year and are as good as ever..

 

Quick on the draw
