 The gold standard of pruners. Buy It! Jul 11, 2005
By B. Marold
"Bruce W. Marold"
Ever since I got my first Felco pruner, I will not even consider buying any other brand. Not only do they work better than any other brand, they are simple to take apart and clean and replace worn parts. They are even relatively simple to sharpen, although it takes a slightly different touch than your pocket knife or chef's knife.
The bottom line is that they work really, really well for years, even without sharpening. Their scissors action is much better than the anvil style. This F-2 model is the most general purpose design and I use it on virtually everything.
I will suggest that if, like me, you have relatively small hands, the smaller F-6 model is slightly more comfortable and easier to use for most work. I have both and use the F-6 for heavy duty end of the year pruning and the F-2 throughout the summer for average pruning jobs.

There's no substitute for quality Mar 25, 2005
By Weldon Grant
"purveyor of useless info"
I have a couple of rules about tools that I've developed for myself, I'll share one here, don't buy crap. Most expensive doesn't equate best, but do your homework and buy good quality, it will cost you less in the long run.
A few years ago I bought a pair of corona "professional" pruners after having borrowed my brother-in-laws felco #2's. I used them for a couple of cuts and couldn't stand them... so I took them back, which I really don't like to do much but they just weren't what they were represented to be by the salesman. Which is as good as Felco pruners. (Corona makes other good products I'm especially fond of their lopers.) Then I went to another store (before I grew so fond of amazon) and bought some of these. I LOVE THEM. I can't say that enough so just in case you missed it, I LOVE THEM. For the last few years I've used them every year for a good number of trees, shrubs and bushes. They are still sharp, I haven't even had to sharpen them. They cut like the day I bought them. They are so smooth and feel so nice in your hand compared to any of the others I've used. (When I was young and dumb I worked landscaping for a while, the boss had a set of these, but we got stuck using whatever else, now I know why!)
If you want the best hand pruners that will last you at least twice as long, I think you've found the right pair.

Just Buy This Pruner Dec 08, 2007
By Brian Dallek
Ok, I am an ex foreman arborist, now a stay at home dad. You will not find any better pruners. I had bought some cheap $5 pruners from HD and the things literally fell apart with the first use. When i was trimming trees I used these same pruners for about 3 years straight and they are AWESOME! If your reading this then you probably don't need my advice on buying Felcos, your just trying to pic a model. The #f-2's are the standard pruner that my old job, Davey Tree, gave to its arborists. They work great and fit the hand perfect. I would suggest this model unless you've tried others and know what you want. Good Luck and happy Pruning!

The Pruner that I'll Hand Down to one of the Children Aug 14, 2006
By Martha J. Stanfield
I've used a pruner for years (and actually it's done other work such as cutting baling twine)and until our nursery man showed me his Felco, I couldn't part with the first one. Now I'm looking for plants that need a "little tweaking". What a joy to use! With replaceable parts, this pruner with the bright red handles lives up to the Swiss reputation for a quality product. You definitely get what you pay for with this indispensable tool.

Works like a champ Aug 28, 2006
By David Sherwood
"Garden Meditation"
The quality of these pruners are obvious when you pick them up. They are comfortable to hold, even for my wife's smaller hands. They slice branches and twigs cleanly and effortlessly. These should be an essential tool for any gardener.
