The Best of the Best

Posted on 05/08/08 | Posted by The Fat Gardener

Ever since we first started Quality Garden Tools, there was one brand of garden tools that was always top of our shopping list – Felco secateurs.

Felco secateurs have been manufactured in Switzerland since Félix Flisch designed the first pair of forged aluminium pruning shears in 1945. The Felco factory, in the heart of the Swiss Jura now employs over 150 people and exports to 100 countries around the world.

The reason we thought it so important to include a brand like Felco is that not only do they make a really good product, but they also offer great customer services. Not many gardeners know that they can send their old Felco secateurs to the head office and for a one-off charge can have them refurbished and returned as good as new.

Recently, we managed to get an allocation of a couple of very special Felco models. These secateurs are made to the usual very high standards of Felco products and are based on the most popular sizes: the compact model 6 and the classic model 8. They have luxurious chocolate brown leather handles for comfort and come in a leather (No.8) or leather and hessian (No.6) soft folding case.

The run for each model was limited to just 1750 secateurs worldwide and each pair comes with a certificate of authenticity. These secateurs are certainly not cheap, but at £75.00 (No.6) and £85.00 (No.8) they make great gifts for gardeners and in the opinion of Quality Garden Tools are definitely the best of the best.
