Felco Pruning Shears

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. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |

The red plastic covering has come off of one of my pairs is it possible to get it repaired? -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Felco Pruning Shears
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. -- Rod My real address is "Janet Tweedy" wrote in message ...
