A referee took us to task for imply thatFelcosare theonlyquality pruner around . This reader ( who prefersBahcopruners ) build a period I normally try on to make . I useARS V-8pruners , and I would n’t trade them for a corner full of Felcos . Well , maybe for a box full — but it would have to be a big box . What do you think ? Are Felcos the dear ?
