Recommendation from professionals

For good reason, this model is exactly in many horticultural plants, even though there are other models of Felco, which are designed for special applications. However, the Felco 2 is the universal workhorse.

The gap is very robust, easy to maintain and is even with large hands perfectly in your hand. The blade remains sharp for a long time, may be in need but also to expand and sharpen.

Should go Even if once something breaks (which can usually happen only if misused) is available for each item replacement.

At this point I would warn against the scissors be expected too much: Too thick or too rough branches can tilt the scissors and the blade unusable. In the worst case, the counter blade.

From the Felco Scherentasche Nr.912 I advise against it. This case gave me only a few weeks and was not worth the money. Here Felco will probably make money with a cheaply produced Amendment. For a fraction of the price I have a copy made me the case of a shoemaker. I'm going to inherit along with my ... Felco
