Felco have just released a Father’s Day twin pack.
You get a pair of Felco 2 secatuers and a Felco 600 foldable pruning saw.
Basically the secatuers are good on branches up to an inch thick (25mm) and the saw can then be used for branches thicker than that. Trying to cut branches too thick for secatuers can cause you a bad hand injury, as well as not being too good for the cutters either.
This is about $165 value for $129.95 – available at the nursery now.
