• I’ve had the same basic felcos for about 15 years now and no complaints. Every part is replaceable and can get the bits from any garden centre or mower shop. The version with the swivel hand is nice if he’s using them hour after hour.
    They’re not as artisanal as some of the options out there but they’re common for good reason.

  • I did wonder about Felco ones, but figured if he has been using japanese style ones for a while, it prob makes sense to stick with them, just found these Okatsune ones which are a touch more affordable and don't seem to be any worse reviewed.

  • Might be a bit late now but I’ve got the Niwaki GP secateurs and they’re ace. I’d be put off the Okatsune ones just because the way the handles are riveted to the blades. I’ve got some of their snips and they’re ok but I also upgraded to Niwaki ones when I could afford.

    In other news I bought a 10x8 Rhino greenhouse on eBay yesterday... buyer dismantles. Please don’t rain on Monday.

  • I have the Okatsune ones, absolutely lovely!
