Okatsune 103 Bypass Pruners General Purpose Medium

Quelle merveille ce sécateur ! Ce n'est pas tant pour couper des grosses branches, il a des limites de diamètre comme tout sécateur, que pour la précision et la netteté de la coupe. Formidable.

Each cut feels precise and effortless. Recommended to me by professionals and I can see why. Even engaging the safety catch has the feel and sound of quality.

You get what you pay for here. A premium product that performs like a dream. Super sharp and stays sharp. Great ergonomics and cutting power. My wife won’t use anything else now that she has these.

Having read a review of these in a gardening magazine I decided to make a break from a lifetime of Felcos and give them a try. They are not cheap but they are seriously good, very well made, secateurs and I am very happy with them, so much so that they have now replaced the Felcos as the secateurs of choice in my holster ( and come on, if you haven't got yourself a leather holster for your secateurs by now then you don't know what you have been missing. Ignore the cowboy references and just get one!). Firstly, they are very sharp and easily pass the bamboo cane test. The blade is sharp enough to use as a razor for opening bags of compost, cutting string etc. I know that's not the point of them but it illustrates the razor like quality. They are comfortable but also quite small so, if like me you have large hands, then go for the 103s which are the largest and would probably still suit someone with medium hands. They have a very clean cutting action, with a satisfying 'clack' sound, and are equally good at snipping off flower heads or taking small branches from fruit trees. What does take a bit of getting used to however is the action. If you are used to the 'thumb flick' opening and closing action of Felco and ersatz Felco secateurs then you might find the opening and closing action of the Okatsune secateurs takes a bit of getting used to. The clip at the base needs to be flicked open and then flicked closed after use. Here is a word to the wise: don't get the skin of your hand caught in the closing mechanism! The spring snaps it back into place and there is potential for a real 'ouch!'- or worse - moment. Having been stupid enough to catch my hand three times I now flick them open and closed by pushing the base of the secateurs against my hip. It works for me; you find your own way.

Produto é excelente, mas o preço é alto
