There's a review on this site: https://www.gardenersworld.com/reviews/tools/pruning/best-secateurs/ The OH has felco (pro gardener) and I have some of the Darlac Experts (and some darlac snips for delicate work. I think the darlac are as good as the felcos but unless I'm about to cut 1" diam twigs I reach for the snips
I bought my Felco 9's from World of Felco. Just phoned them re the spring falling out after 2 short sessions of light use and spoke to someone who didn't seem to know the first thing about them. He said that the spring does sometimes fall out if it isn't on the prongs properly or if they are dropped! Aye right. I told him I wanted to speak to a manager but said he was the only person there and if I wanted to raise a case then I need to email.
Now here's the rub, World of Felco is a garden centre and only sell Felco products. I found this when looking for their phone number to ring them. I then checked reviews for the firm and although Felco got good reviews there is some criticism about the garden centre. The title World of Felco is very misleading.
I shall email the company later and for those who are buying, be careful where you buy them from. Watch this space.
