I dont use them very often, but when I do I want something long-lasting, stays upright, cuts well.

Any brands to recommend from the metal-monkeys in here?

Ive seen Eclipse, Ultra, Bahco and Starett on eBay. Much of a muchness?

Part way through a pack of Sandflex Bahco ones. They seem good for the money. I’m sure the branded ones are much of a muchness, though.

Was just looking at these bahcos

seems much cheaper than Starett

Bahco stuff generally pretty good, picked up a load of Facom ones for pence/cents when was in france last which are great

left field im using a pack of irwins i got given a few years back – seem fine. wouldnt turn down bahco or starrett either though :d

cheers gents. Have ordered the bahcos.
