Jonesies. I use the 7s. A hortic I know suffered from RSI for around 15 years before he moved onto the rotators, I thought it was a gimmick but he hasn't suffered since

These ?

 

 

Why are they better?

 

Those are the ones.

 

They are sharper out of the box

 

The blade is more curved giving you a more constant application of pressure through the cut.

 

They dont come together with a bang like felcos.

 

They hold there edge much better and because they are stainless they dont go rusty. I found a pair in a hedge that I had lost a year before and when I picked them up they were still cutting better than the felcos I had out that day.

 

They are lighter and also cheaper.

 

I dont know anyone who has used them who would tolerate a pair of felcos again.

I have a pair of those ratchet secateurs with the nylon handles. They will cut through anything you can get the jaws round. I have to keep my old ones going, though, as the version currently sold in discount stores isn't nearly as good.

 

If you want to make it look impressive, try makng the cuts with a billhook.

Bump.

Pruning out a Beech the other day and unhappy with my secateurs.

 

Anyone use Fiskars now instead of Felco?
