Good job I read Chris's reply first: Now I can simply say: DITTO




Couldn't do a lot with any make other than the wonderful Felco but
saying that my indispensable piece of gardening equipment is the pair of
Darlac snips, so slim that they can chop off tiny single roses or prune
between other stems or have been known to delve into paving cracks to
winkle out ground elder! Exceptionally sharp and lovely easy opening and
closing action so not tiring like some.

Everyone for whom I have bought a pair also now swear by them !


Unfortunately, no matter what, I could not afford Felco so I bought mine from ALDI. I have
successfully used them now for 4 years and they are still good and beautiful to use.
