Garden Pictures Chat Corner

Honestly, I have the scissors from Norma. With garden scissors, it's the same for me as with Labello. No matter how many I buy, they cannot be found.

I am and will remain a fan of my Felco 6. It is specifically designed for small hands and is a real all-rounder. Compared to cheap scissors, it cuts much more smoothly, easily, and opens much faster, very convenient for many small cuts. But it also handles fairly thick branches. And it is sharper anyway. Since you can buy almost every part individually as a replacement, I find it sustainable and reasonably priced as well. Oh yes – the red color is a lifesaver. My poor green scissors often had to stay outside overnight before because they were untraceable. The red is usually visible even in the bed ;-)

We use the garden shears from Wolf, have the anvil and the regular ones in use, and are very satisfied.

I have been cutting with cheap scissors for years because, like others, they get forgotten in the rain and I can no longer sharpen them. However, I would at least like to have a better pruning shear again that cuts well. After 25 years of work in this garden, I want to part with or transplant some large shrubs/trees. I had a good pruning shear (not a Felco), but a part of the shear is lost and I can't find a replacement. Online, the store where I have already bought other garden tools ([Profiseite]) recommended the two Felcos to us, with the more expensive one being easier to use and not as heavy.

I have the pruning shears from Fiskars. And the small hand scissors are not special for roses, they are something that just feels good in my hand right now, currently Gardena.

I had a small Felco gifted to me on purpose.. but I don’t really like it. It’s still a bit unwieldy and the lock keeps falling off. Really annoying. So I usually end up using my cheap ones.
