FELCO3224431 Large Economy Secateurs Essential - Multi-Colour

I'm no gardener and use secateurs a few times a year when things get a bit overgrown. I previously used a cheap pair of Draper's which did the job for a few years until the bolt snapped.Despite being from the poverty range, the Felco's seem expensive in comparison still being Swiss made. They are quite large (my hands are a large-medium) and the coating makes them slightly slippery.I've used them on a couple of stray branches and they coped well enough, and if they last longer than the Draper's I'll be happy.**Update** August 2018 - these have given three years of decent service but are now sticking and becoming blunt. I've just upgraded to Felco No 2 and the difference in quality is significant and I'd now pay the extra £10-15 .

Too big...bulky. not as nice as the normal red ones

Item arrived very quickly. I have had Felco brand before, and found them long lasting and superb for cutting.Lasted years until lost. Was so pleased to find them on amazon site. Excellent quality with same superb cutting technique.

Bought for my husband for Christmas and he loves them. I looked at so many and found it difficult to choose but bought these because they are general purpose and have proven themselves to be just that. Well sprung and easy to use. Husband is left handed and hasn't had a problem with them.

Good brand - fair price - ok
