Title: The quickest $110 I wasted
Review: These sheers work great when they are new. I bought one of these in a fancy nursery in Santa Barbara where I was told they would last em a life time. Yes, They cut through things beautifully even when you have a a bunch of branches adding up to half an inch and sometimes 3/4". But the honeymoon lasts only a month or two even for lite use at home. They become rusty very quickly. The blade on the one I got became black with rust after a year and I stopped using it after that. I have bought cheap sheers from the 99-cent store that have not rusted at all under similar use. I just bought a new Felco last month and have been keeping the blade edge dry by wiping it and sharpening the blade once a week. I have used it on cut flowers inside the house only and it is already rusty. The rust does not come off easy. There are youtube videos on dismantling, oiling, cleaning and sharpening these but I think either Felco's were always over-rated or they have gone down in quality.
