Do you have a tool that you just can’t live without? Something that’s part of you? Almost an extension of your body? For me it’s the felco pruners. Reading about Felco Pruners, I had to agree with the sales advertising:
Felco pruners will change your life: Yes, they changed my life forever, till death do us part!
Felco pruners are world famous: There’s probably a pair in the Egyptian pyramids and at the Sydney Opera house.
Once you’ve tried a Felco pruner there is no going back: Who would want to go back to the old, inferior $7 pair?
It will become a family heirloom: Yes, I will teach my children the good news of the felcos.
Felco garden tools are the top of the line: They are the best!
Smooth, tight action: Yes!
Quality you can feel: Definitely!
Awesome cutting power and precision: Always!
Incredibly durable pruners: I use them every day, every week, all year long at work.
My favorite felcos, my dear number 8’s , I love you!

I highly doubt that the egyptian pharaoes and royalty would choose to be buried with garden pruners over their other items of wealth and status. But good post regardless.
Someone had to prune the bulrushes….
