I have large hands so what size of Felco should I be looking at. There is a
hige array online and at their prices I dont want to get the wrong ones.

Thanks

You do need to try to find a stockist and try them in your hands, they
usually have a display stand with them on chains so you can touch/feel how
they handle.
I didn't like the thin handled ones so bought No.7 with the thick revolving
handle, it's probably a once in a lifetime purchase so it's important to get
it right.
Some good independent GCs and RHS Wisley stock them. If you tell us roughly
where you are in the UK someone might be able to suggest a stockist nearby.

The red plastic covering has come off of one of my pairs is it possible
to get it repaired?

Yes, I'm not sure how you arrange it these days - it's been a while
since I had any done but the importers Burton Mcall are probably your
best bet as a first port of call. As an amateur you're probably
eligible to get it done under the lifetime warranty but even if you
have to pay it's well worth it. BTW if you need anything else done to
them you can have them refurbished to almost new condition.
