    Felco Secateurs

    I am going to buy myself some Felco's as I am always told they are the king of all secateurs! Now, if I am just going to buy one pair, which should it be? I don't do any out of the ordinary pruning or anything-I need a good all rounder.

    Also, where is the best place to buy them? I'm sure that like everything, prices can vary wildly! Any good deals?

      Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

        Mine are No 2s. I have small hands, but find them easy to use. I had to replace them recently, as I lost (hopefully only temporarily) the pair I inherited. Our local independent Garden Centre sells them at £57 So I bought a pair on eBay for £30.

        I have had cheaper pairs, and they don't last as long. Also, you can buy spare springs and blades for Felcos.

          So, I will get a pair of 12s......no......7s.....no.....2s!

          I will go and try the feel of some, check the price then see if I can get any online.

          Thanks for the advice!

            Kittyk - do what everyone said above - Try them in your hand first, you will discover which of the bypass / anvil / size / handedness will suit you best. I bought a pair for GF's special birthday two years ago and she loves them - Me so far I haven't found a pair of Felcos that suit me, so I am still using cheapos.

              Hubby had a pair of no 8 (I think) for years, before they were pinched, and he really misses them. I tried his and hated them, plus others at local gc, and just wasn't happy. At the moment, I'm using a free pair off the front of GW mag years ago, and a really, really cheap £1-99 pair from Lidls a couple of years ago. Each to their own, just keep looking, you will suddenly find a pair that's right for you, when you do, I recommend you buy a couple of pairs, just in case one goes missing!
