Carlucci 4.0 out of 5 stars I bought this for my wife. The problem is that the description of this item does not make clear that the F-2 is designed for a large hand. The F-2 is perfect for me. For someone with a smaller hand, the F-6 might be a far better choice. The description on Amazon should make that clear.I have the F-2s, as well, and I'm happy with both. The F-6 is a little nicer for smaller hands, but both have the same high quality construction and give the same stellar results. I'd recommend sharpening your pruners when you get them, just to get the blade at its best. It helps get the cleanest cut possible, which of course is good for the health of your plants (less damage means less vulnerability to pests or disease). What makes Felco so great is that you can take them apart to clean and sharpen them. Each pair of Felco pruners comes with a small thin tool (almost the same size and shape as a standard rectangular razor blade) that lets you remove the main bolt on the pruners. The pair I was shipped, however, arrived in an open package and, no surprise, that little tool was missing. So I sent them back and bought the pruners at my local store. Not the end of the world, but make sure you get the tool. And then don't accidentally throw it away.Friskars seem like children's safety scissors by comparison. They cut through dead thick woody canes with ridiculous ease. My only complaint is that they are meant for small MENS hands, not women's hands. I have average sized lady's hands. Typical caucasian size, I guess size small glove and a size 5 ring. These clippers are still almost too big to keep a grip on when you open the blades.http://www.kaplug.co.kr/Upload/fci-7200-micro-programming-manual.xml They barely fit my hands bare, and with gardening gloves, I have to adjust my grip so my middle, longer, finger is doing the closing action. My index finger is too short to wrap around the handle without sliding off. The handles are not especially grippy, they're smooth rubber. So, unless they are small enough for your fingers to really wrap around them solidly, you will have to adjust your grip awkwardly.Update: please see pictures. After using them in my startup vegetable garden a handful of times. Why why?! I wanted to love them. Can’t return them too ugh Update: Cleaned then as the manufacturer recommended. After using them 2 times this week, they look even worst.Easy to hold and fits my medium size hand (size 7 fingers if that helps) so well. BTW, also great mechanically. THANKS, FELCO, for recognizing there are women in the world, and they aren't just little men--particularly since we are likely the dominant gender in home gardening.my husband's idea of pruning is closer to bombing.;)I was deciding between these and the F-2's. Everyone said these are for smaller hands and honestly they are. Some people stated these are still TOO large and I would have to disagree with that. These are tiny in my hands. They seem to fit my wife's hands fine and overall these are small. I am going to pick up the F-2's for me. She enjoys using them. Once I get my F-2's I'll post comparison pictures in the review since I had a hard time deciding since I couldn't find pictures of them side by side.These easily handle thick branches from my backyard fruit trees and could easily cut a fat thumb off, which I do not plan on trying anytime soon. I have left these out in the sprinkler, thrown them, ran them over with a bobcat and they still keep cutting. You get what you pay for when it comes to these.It was (at first) surprisingly painless due to the excellent blade and spring action. Also went through branches with ease.Was bei mir ankam ist eine Frechheit.I returned them.http://eco-region31.ru/dead-space-3-xbox-360-manualIt is pricey but you find out why when you use it. The design gives your hand many times the leverage power than when using inferior quality secateurs. It slices effortlessly through live or dead wood and its spring is powerful,and responsive. Being a Swiss design all the components are replaceable and like a Swiss Army Knife the philosophy is this is a tool for life. Go right now and buy one. You won't regret it. Number 8 is better for bigger hands like mine. I bought no 2 as a present for a female cousin.I bought Felco's diamond sharpening stone too and along with common sense maintenance I can honestly see them lasting a lifetime. My mum needed a new pair of secateurs - she has a drawer full of cheap ones, I did my best to fix them up but they're just not good, they're semi-disposable really. So I bought another pair of Felcos and she's extremely pleased. I'll keep on top of the maintenance for her but putting them side by side with a knock off pair she has was laughable. I don't really garden myself (well I do, but I don't love it!) but I like my tools and appreciate a well made precision tool when I see it. There's tools you buy for an odd job that you probably won't use again, so a cheaper one might do. Then there's tools that will be a mainstay of your longterm hobby or work and it's always worth buying the best you can, both economically and for the best results. Secateurs definitely fall into that category as they'll potentially see decades of year-round usage. I use a variety of cutting tools in my hobbies and the Felcos are as good as any of them. So, don't have a drawer full of rusty blunted tools. It's a shame that people replace their secateurs when they stop cutting or functioning as they should, whether that's through lack of maintenance or just buying the cheapest ones they can. It's wasteful and a false economy. Grab a pair of Felcos, maintain them, and you'll have years of gardening joy (whatever that is!).In order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading.

The Felco pruner is the gold-standard of garden tools. They don't break, keep a sharp blade, and can cut through almost any flower stems, small limbs, etc. Have used my last pair for over 20 years and have been very happy with them. Bought this pair for a friend. She has small hands and, if I had known they came in two sizes, would have bought the smaller ones. But she has no problem using this size. These are well-made tools that will last a lifetime unless someone steals them. They stay sharp for a long time. I was introduced to these by our neighborhood arborist.

Your guide Meg Muckenhoupt Share this review After researching 49 pairs of pruners and testing 39 models on dozens of maple branches, buckthorn limbs, scallions, raspberry canes, and wooden dowels, we found that the Felco 2 Classic Manual Hand Pruner is the best pruner for most people. Our pick Felco 2 The Best Garden Pruners They’re sharp, durable, smooth, easy to repair, and easy to find. As thousands of gardeners already know, a Felco 2 may be the last pruner you ever buy. In our tests, the Felco 2 made clean, straight cuts on almost everything we tried. Its bypass blades opened and closed smoothly, and required only slight force to cut thick branches. The hardened-steel blades are strong enough to withstand sharpening dozens of times, the plastic-coated forged aluminum alloy handles are nearly unbreakable, repairs are easy, and replacement parts for any worn-out pieces are widely available. Felco models are consistently priced, well known, and widely beloved among gardeners, many of whom have kept their Felco 2 pruners for a decade or more. The pruners crushed a ?-inch dowel a tiny bit, and the handles spread a little wide for some people (if that's you, the Felco 6 should work). But those flaws aside, they’re close to perfect. Advertisement Also great ARS HP-VS8Z Great pruners, not as common These pruners had the sharpest blades and required the least force to make the smoothest cuts of any of the pruners in our test. Not always easy to find, but if you encounter this model for the same price as the Felco, it’s worth getting. If you yearn for the perfect pruner, you’ll finally be satisfied with the ARS HP-VS8Z. This tool was the only model that consistently made perfectly clean, flat cuts in soft stems, woody growth, hardwood dowels, and even ?-inch buckthorn branches without crushing or tearing anything—and with less effort. The ARS has stunningly sharp high-carbon steel blades that have been tempered for hardness and resilience, and the tight, precise tolerance between the two blades creates a silky-smooth cutting action. Every other pair of pruners jerked or stuck on something in our test, but not this pair. Comfortable plastic-coated aluminum handles (which are available in other sizes) make cutting easy. We were also concerned about the availability of ARS models, as this Japanese brand isn’t as widespread as the Swiss brand Felco in the United States. If you can find this tool for less than the Felco 2’s price, you can be confident that you’re buying the best available pruner. Budget pick Corona BP 3180 Not as sharp These durable pruners aren’t as smooth or sharp as our main picks, but they are perfectly capable, and best suited for larger hands. If you want to pay a fraction of the price for performance that’s almost as good as that of the best pruners out there, the Corona BP 3180 Classic Cut Forged Bypass Pruner is a great budget pick. The blades are sharp enough to slice through spindly stems and thick branches swiftly and efficiently. We even cut a ?-inch branch one-handed with this pair, a feat that only the best pruners in the test could manage. That cut, however, required more effort than with our top two picks. These pruners don’t make quite as clean a slice as the ARS and Felco models do, and they don’t move as smoothly. Like the top picks, the Corona BP 3180 accepts replacement blades, springs, and screws. You may need those parts sooner, though, as some owners claim that this pruner is prone to rust. The Corona BP 3180’s handles are also large enough, and splay out widely enough, to feel unwieldy for many people with small to medium hands—but if you have big hands and a small budget, the Corona BP 3180 is a solid choice. Everything we recommend Our pick Felco 2 The Best Garden Pruners They’re sharp, durable, smooth, easy to repair, and easy to find. Also great ARS HP-VS8Z Great pruners, not as common These pruners had the sharpest blades and required the least force to make the smoothest cuts of any of the pruners in our test. The research Collapse all Why you should trust us How we picked How we tested Our pick: Felco 2 Flaws but not dealbreakers Also great: ARS HP-VS8Z Budget pick: Corona BP 3180 The competition Sources Why you should trust us I’ve been gardening in the Boston area for over 20 years, pruning apple trees, rhododendrons, raspberries, spruces, tomatoes, and roses. I am one of the pillars of the Menotomy Gardeners e-group. I earned a certificate in field botany from the New England Wild Flower Society in 2007 (now known as the Native Plant Trust), and I co-founded the Lexington Community Farm Coalition, which is devoted to preserving working agricultural land. In 2010 I published Boston's Gardens and Green Spaces, a Boston Globe Local Bestseller. I have appeared on NPR’s Radio Boston and WCVB’s Chronicle discussing Boston’s open space, and my work has been featured in the Boston Globe, the Boston Phoenix, Boston Magazine, and the Time Out Boston guide. I give frequent talks to historical societies, garden clubs, and book groups about New England landscape history and agriculture. For this guide, I surveyed members of the Ecological Landscape Alliance and received recommendations from eight professional landscapers from all over the continent, asking about their favorite pruners they used themselves, as well as the models they give to their landscaping crews. I got recommendations for seven pruner models (the Felcos were mentioned more than once), a small chainsaw, and an “extendable pruner-gun” from a Quebecois orchardist who I’m not entirely sure I understood correctly. I also combed through consumer, tool, and gardening sites, poring over articles and posts in Popular Mechanics, Fine Gardening, Organic Gardening, The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times (parent company of Wirecutter), and an assortment of blogs. How we picked Pruners have one job on this earth, and that is to make straight, clean cuts without hurting your hands. Uneven cuts make it harder for a plant to heal, expose more area to insects and disease, and create crevices in which water can collect, increasing the chance of infection and rot. We wanted a pair of pruners that could reliably cut all the way through every last bit of a branch or stem without crushing it—or hurting your hands. The first criterion we considered was the quality of the blades. In general, the harder the steel used to make pruner blades, the longer they’ll stay sharp. That meant we were looking for “high tempered” or “carbon steel”—or better yet, “high tempered carbon steel.” Some companies put titanium or chrome coatings on blades to prevent rust, but that wasn’t a big influence on our search, because sharpening pruners removes the coating, leaving the metal as vulnerable to rust as plain steel. Beyond a sharp edge, we wanted an overall design that allowed the pruners to cut well, and that came down to the center nut or screw controlling the distance between the blades. The blades should rest so tightly against one another that, if you look at their edges together, no light should shine through. As the Felco Store says: If a nut is too loose, branches will get stuck between the blades; too tight, and it’s hard to force the blades together to make a cut. We wanted a pair of pruners that was properly adjusted out of the box, and easy to tighten if it became loose. We also wanted a model with replacement parts available—even if they’re properly adjusted, and cleaned and sharpened, pruners are mortal. We also wanted pruners that could perfectly fit a user’s grip and permit opening and closing with one hand, which is key to having a great pair. But this kind of thing is subjective. (As a garden columnist wrote in the Portland Press Herald, “Trying to pick a hand-pruner for someone else would be like trying to pick a mattress for them.”) So we focused on brands that made excellent tools in a variety of sizes—such as ARS, Corona, and Felco —so that if our pick didn’t fit your grip, there would be an alternative at another size. Last, you can find two basic types of pruners: bypass pruners and anvil pruners. Bypass pruners have two blades that pass each other like scissors when you make a cut. With anvil pruners, a sharpened blade simply stops on a hard, flat surface; this design is better suited for dry, dead brush. Our search focused on the bypass style, which has the precision you need to make clean cuts in live growth, whether it’s woody branches or delicate stems. How we tested To simulate typical garden use, I tested the pruners by cutting a variety of delicate and woody stems: I hacked up scallions, ?-inch-thick raspberry canes, ?-inch and ?-inch wooden dowels, ?-inch Norway maple branches, and common ?-inch buckthorn branches. I cut through each one 10 times apiece, and then I snipped through the scallions again and washed and dried the pruners so that my home office wouldn’t smell like onions while I was writing this review. A smooth pair of blades can make clean cuts in fibrous live material as well as small woody stems. Photo: Meg Muckenhoupt I judged the tools by the quality of their cut—whether they mashed the material or left fibers hanging, whether they required a great deal of force to make the cut, and whether they cut consistently throughout the testing. The scallions proved surprisingly challenging: Most models cut the green and white parts cleanly and consistently, while others squeezed them into mush. While the stems tested the tools’ finesse, the woody pieces tested their delicate force. For the ?-inch dowel, only the ARS HP-VS8Z pruners provided effortless, clean cuts; all of the other models mashed and flattened the wood as they severed it. Our pick: Felco 2 Our pick Felco 2 The Best Garden Pruners They’re sharp, durable, smooth, easy to repair, and easy to find. In our tests, it was easy to see why the Felco 2 pruners have earned such a great reputation among generations of gardeners. No other pruner we tried (except for our also-great pick, the ARS HP-VS8Z ) performs like this pair. The Felco 2 sliced through scallions and tree branches with finesse, leaving almost everything in our test with a perfectly flat, smooth cut edge. Its cutting action was smoother and its blades were sharper, and it required less effort than anything else in our test (with the exception, again, of the ARS HP-VS8Z). Compared with cheaper pruners, Felco tools not only work better but also last longer—you can adjust and repair them, you can replace parts, and you'll find that they’re just plain tougher and more durable than the competition. Felco tools also have one major advantage over the great ARS model: Felco pruners are everywhere. Their replacement parts are easy to find. This widespread availability means that their prices are consistent online, and if you want them, the shopping experience is easy. ARS is a niche manufacturer with a limited US presence, and although its tools are fantastic, their availability can be inconsistent. The price volatility was the clincher, and we decided that recommending the Felco 2 as our first choice would give readers a nearly perfect tool that wouldn’t be a hassle to find and buy. The fact that the Felco pruners cut everything well will be obvious right away, and what you’ll find over time is that they could honestly last forever. It sounds like marketing hype to say that, but they really can work like new for as long as you need them.Lost them for several months. I found them in the yard. I oiled, wire brushed the rust off and sharpened them. Still using same pair and they still work as good as new!” This extreme level of durability sets Felco products apart from all the cheaper pruners you can get (and really, most products in the modern world). This reliability comes from their production process, which takes place in a former Swiss watch factory. Felco also has made every individual part of the pruners available, so if anything on them ever does break it’s an easy task to source and replace the broken part. A word on Felco maintenance: If you do happen to find your long-lost pruners deep in the compost heap, you can adjust the hardened-steel center bolt to make sure the blades still align correctly. Out of the box, we found this blade-to-blade tolerance to be precise and accurate, but all pruners go out of alignment eventually. You can adjust and fine-tune Felcos whenever you wish. That’s another feature that separates Felco models from the cheaper pruners. Another Felco difference is how much easier making a cut feels with these pruners. When you step up to the Felco 2 from the Corona model ( our budget pick ), for instance, you get a pruner that takes less effort to open and close. The Coronas are stiffer. You may not notice for the first few cuts, but after 15 or 20 minutes of use, you're going to start feeling it, especially if you're an older gardener. Felco pruners are also easier to grip than cheaper models, with contoured handles and a modest open width. The Coronas seem to be designed for landscaping crews full of big, burly guys with wide palms. The Corona pruners are sturdy, but a lot of women can barely get their hands around them when they're open. The Felco (and ARS) models are just a bit easier for men and women of more modest size to handle. Flaws but not dealbreakers The Felco pruners were nearly perfect in our test, and the very few problems they had in cutting performance seem like only shortcomings when compared with our also-great pick. The Felco 2 pair required some minor effort to close on a Norway maple branch—that task was easier with the ARS model—and the Felco blades slightly crushed a ?-inch dowel, which the ARS managed to sever more smoothly. But these were tiny flaws. The Felco pruners cut every other sample perfectly and effortlessly, and performed better than any of the other tools we tried. If you have small hands, be aware that Felco pruners are sized for larger hands than some other brands are. The Felco 2 is ? inch longer than our also-great pick, the ARS HP-VS8Z. That size differential holds for other equivalent models as well: The small Felco, the Felco 6, is.Women testers preferred the ARS over the Felco because of the way the ARS handles fit in their hands. The Felco 2 also has a construction quirk that’s either a flaw or a feature, depending on how you look at it. Unlike with other Felco hand pruners, the F2’s lower blade is riveted, not screwed, into place. That rivet means that the lower blade is firmly attached—but it also means that if you ever need to replace the lower blade, you’re going to need to rivet it, or find someone who can. Odds are, you won’t need to do this, ever, judging by how long people keep their Felco pruners, but to my mind, it’s a slight flaw. Also great: ARS HP-VS8Z Also great ARS HP-VS8Z Great pruners, not as common These pruners had the sharpest blades and required the least force to make the smoothest cuts of any of the pruners in our test. The ARS HP-VS8Z pruners cut better than any other pruners we tested, leaving fewer bits of bark and ragged ends of stems than every other pair.
