I prefer anvil type as they seem to be more resilient to light abuse than pass-through or parrot nose types. After many sharpenings and adjustments of the anvil, they will no longer cut clean and sharp. No doubt tech has moved on, and I would appreciate any hints, tips, or recommendations. A factor important to me is grip size. I have normal (?) sized hands for a 60yo man. My wifes Sandvik secateurs, whilst good, are too big for me. She often has to use them double handed. Frequently I'm up a ladder or some such silliness and a good grip on both items is welcomed. The old ones are Wolf I think, but any lettering has long since been worn away. Another very satisfied Felco user (No 11 for many years in my case). They do a smallish model, the compact No 6. They are all bypass rather than anvil but, in the event that you do manage to break them, spare are available. http://www.worldoffelco.co.uk/secateurs/ -- rbel Hmmm! Baz |
