Felco Scateurs
Hi All
I am interested in one of these, but there are numbers after model - Felco 2, 5, 7, 8 and so on. What are these numbers for, and which number is most useful for general cutting? The other question is, these Felcos seems very pricey comparing other makes - is it worth buying these rather than cheaper models? cheers Dan |

They are the finest secetuers money can buy.. And are the 'industry standard' according to many (inc myself) Invest in some, unless you are always losing tools in which case buy cheap 'lookalikes' and replace as needed. In a word. 'yes' they are worth buying. See also past threads on this: http://snurl.com/2kwc // Jim |

Fantastic blades and keep going forever. Had mine for 7 years and
although they dont look like new they certainly work like they are. -- email farmer chris on Please don`t use as it`s a spam haven. |

'yes' they are worth buying. Yes and I dunno if they still do but they used to give a lifetime guarantee for non pro use. You can service them yourself but if sent to the importers for service they come back like new. Although I'm cack handed I got used to the 'Old' No 2 and I still think they're the best though I do use the lefty ones at work now. Rod |

Also there's a couple of pairs listed on ebay at the moment (not listed my me) model 2 and 5 I think. PA |

Thanks PA and all who replied to this question.
The web site and forum discussions were very helpful, which made me a bit easier in making the decision. Now I have ordered a Felco 5 - which is the cheapest in the range, but hopefully this will be a good buy for me. cheers Dan "PA" wrote in message ... "DLee" wrote in message ...
