“While at Horticulture college in the late 1990’s a tutor advised our group that Felco secateurs were the ‘very best you could buy’. Didn’t forget his advice and I’ve used Felco ever since, also have recommended Felco to friends & customers as I became a self-employed gardener.
As I’m a female gardener, 5ft 2 in height, my hands are small I find the size 6 Felco secateurs very easy & comfortable to use, brilliant product!
Now as retirement day is approaching, I’ve purchased 2 more pairs of Felco size 6 secateurs- one as a present, and the other for me to use daily in my own garden - finally!!”
“Felco secateurs are slightly dearer than many good quality makes but there is a very good reason why they are a very popular choice amongst professionals: they work better than the others.
The level of precision available in adjustment is what all such tools should aspire to. There is a proper spares service. The construction is such that should a cutting or adjustment component require replacing, you just replace that component. For some makes, the loss of a nut means scrapping the tool.
An amateur, however keen, is unlikely ever to have to replace the secateurs judging from our experience of many years using them and giving them as presents.”
“Good size for my small hands sturdy build quality looking forward to using them in the spring. I bought this model as it had been highly recommended by an online gardener that I follow.”
“Easy to use with my small hands. Sharp and helping me to trim down all the hedge cuttings to get maximum amount in the wheelie bin. After an hour of work my hands did not feel sore so the handle design is just right.”
