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 was on standard mcconnel T flails and they would chip for fun
Nothing to break 3 a week
Changed to flaildirect competitions and haven't broke 1 in 2 years

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....

Just put some forged f10’s on our mcconnel. Early days but so far so good. Thought I would try them as only a couple of quid each more than the cast flails.
