“They cut through everything - the best pair of secateurs I have ever had. My mum recommended them and she gardens all day, every day. Thankyou Felco.”
“Only a *lot* of time will tell if they are as good as their reputation! Initially, I found the latch very stiff and difficult to operate with its low profile. However, the screw can easily be loosened slightly - it remains to be seen if it retains the adjusted setting or continues to slacken. A very small, flat 'spanner' is provided for the main spindle nut lock plate and latch screws, but there is insufficient room to use it on the latch screw and it probably doesn't have enough leverage to operate the lock plate screw satisfactorily (I haven't tried that) - it will easily become lost. Fortunately, both screws have hexagon heads and screwdriver slots. The surface machining on the handle casting (non-cutting) left some quite sharp edges - which were easily smoothed off. NB these are small points aimed as feedback to the manufacturer, and not intended to deter anyone from purchase.”
