On a similar theme to Chris Hoggs' lopper thread, I'm looking for good

2 gardens and an allotment means they get a lot of heavy use. First the
adjustment goes, followed by the spring ...... :-)


My Felco #7's with the rotating handle make light work of anything up to an
inch across, now 35 years old, kept sharp they are a good bit of kit, mine
live in a holster at my side and get used for everything including plumbing
and electrics!

I tend to wander around chatting to other allotmenteers, so loosing it in
the jungle is possible. It would be handy if Felco had fitted a loop that
would attach to the carabiner on my belt. Ho hum, more expense on a holster.
