FELCO310 Light Weight Picking and Trimming Snips Snips 45 mm Stainless Straight Snipping Blade Gardening Floristry Horticulture, Silver/Red

The blades are great, very precise with an excellent clean cut. I usually use Felco 6 secateurs but needed something lighter for deadheading and more precise pruning of soft green perennials. The 310s are the usual felco quality you would expect.When they are fully open they are quite wide for my hands (I would say I have medium hands for a woman). There's no way to reduce the span of them but as they are so light and the spring is quite soft it's not as much of an issue as (say) a heavier pair of pruners would be. They don't make my hands ache, they just take a bit of effort to get the right grip.The handles aren't the usual heavy duty ones found on felco pruners - they are plastic not coated metal - but this shaves off the weight and makes them very nimble. They do seem sturdy despite their light weight.Great buy.

I bought these for me, when I am cutting flowers in the garden, and my wife to use when trimming the stems down for putting the flowers into a vase.These are NOT heavy duty secateurs, like the Felco Model 7, which I have for general pruning etc, so please don't think of them as that, although I do cut the fuchsias back with then but obviously not thick woody stems.They are lightweight and have just plastic handles as opposed the the silicone handles on the secateurs.They are still a good quality Felco product though and it also has an easy to operate 'blade lock' to make sure the jaws aren't open when not in use and they are very comfortable in use.If you use them for the work they are intended for you definitely won't be disappointed.

Beautiful crafted snip and always sharp and rust proof.

Pretty pleased with these snippers. They cut well and are lightweight. I’ve dropped one star as, per other reviews, the handles don’t have the same quality as the secateurs. Perhaps to keep them light? But the working end is the expected Felco quality. A few people have said the catch is fiddly and it is much smaller but I’ve found it OK.

I already have been using the same item for several years and found it to be most satisfactory so I purchased this one as a present to a relation of mine

Great for deadheading, Please only use them for this because it is very tempting to move on with these in hand to tackle heavier jobs. This doesn't mean they won't cope but better to use a "proper" pair of Felcos.

Love these little snippers Lightweight and super easy to use. Useful for harvesting veg, deadheading and light pruning. One of the blades has a toothed edge and the other has a clean edge. Would not use these for heavy pruning though as there are more sturdy alternatives. Clips allows safe storage when not in use. Useful addition to collection of garden tools. Would recommend.
