Hedgecutter flails.

How has anyone found the forged F10 flails from "flails direct"?
Original genuine F10 s were desperate for chipping so l put a new set of F14's on at start of this season and have found them better but still get some chipping.
So considering either forged F10's or the equivalent to F14 from flails direct.
Any user experiences of either ? Thank you.

I've just put a set of flails direct forged "F10" on brusher very impressed so far. Seem a lot stronger the genuine McConnel F10. Time will tell, but they chopped through a steel bar in hedge yesterday 40 X 5 flat steel and cut straight through it, not a mark on flails,

Good flails really, do a tidy job and cheaper replaced boot flails mc robbers wanted 8.90 a flail whereas flails direct wanted 2.30? No brainer really. Haven’t found anywhere to get shackles cheap though at nearly 9.00 each....

Complete flail, shackle and bush for sale on Market place here for £11 , those shackles are available for around a fiver. I've allwsys been able to find parts cheaper than flails direct.
