    You definitely should! Not fit for purpose - money is too hard to come by to just give it away.

      I have the rotating handle ones, but you need octave-and-two span, or wicket-keepers hands! I'm not sure I use them enough for the perceived RSI relief ... although can't hurt I suppose.

      Also have a smaller pair which Mrs K uses - Felco #2 I think ... the local garden centre has a display stand, all models available on chains. She tried them to see which fitted her hand the best, I recommend doing that. You can give them your custom, or then take it elsewhere, but in our case they were running a discount on them so that made the decision easy :)
