French Gardening Pruners ?

[Mr. Tool]

Has anyone ever purchased and have used these particular brand of pruning shears?

They are made in France.

Looking to buy a good set of pruning shears and while researching on the internet I happen to come across these:

Just wanted to know if they are worth the price on purchasing. I'm looking for a good pair that will last years (of course re-sharpening is in order) but no longer want to buy the types offered from your local hardware stores. They don't last.

Anyone that can post their reviews, comments, etc. I would be very grateful to y'all.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like a Felco knockoff, with an inferior adjustment mechanism. And since Felco already charges Snap On prices, this is just plain nuts.

If you don't mind the locking nut style adjustment, then I feel that the best pruners out there are from ARS (Japanese). Stihl sells them rebadged.

I'd just get Felco's. Any decent landscape/garden center will have parts available for them too.
