Secateurs

[Mark Bolam]

ARS saws are only missing the E, so I can't see their secateurs being better than Felcos.

 

No2's here.

 

Expensive for a reason.

[Rupe]

ah but i haven't changed the handles.

 

Exactly, change the handles and your secs are not quite as old as you thought!

 

You have changed every major component so they are new secateurs and have not lasted as many years as you think, only the non moving large halndle parts have stood the test of time.

 

No matter though, I lose the flipping things quicker than you wear them out!

[Heads up]

Felcos all the way! can't remember what number mine are....their the red ones:001_rolleyes:

How do you keep your secateurs attached when you're climbing?

you can drill through the Alu handle and tie a loop of cord through the hole and clip them to your harness.

Ars Secateurs

 

Haven't used these for many years but still the best i have ever used.

Worked Nursery pruning grafts, taking cutting etc. Thousands and thousands of cuts and these as I remember are the best. Lost them somewhere.

 

Bahco are my next choice.

Felco never liked them much except for the one with the extra length for two hand use. Thats a good one.

[gibbon]

I used felcos for years. The last pair got stolen by some joker I contacted through this forum to do our loler. Now I use bahco and they are about 12 a pair. Just as good as felcos I recon.
