Amazon.com Review
These classic Felco pruners set the standard by which all others are judged. The choice of landscape professionals, nursery workers, and savvy gardeners around the globe; this exceptionally well-made tool features a design that's been unchanged for more than 50 years. The anvil blade has a deep sap groove to prevent sticking. A Swiss, precision-made cutting blade with soft wire cutter is replaceable for maximum return on investment. An easily-adjusted bolt and nut allow users to customize blade alignment for more efficient operation. A rubber cushion with shock absorbers pads blades where they come together to reduce impact and strain on wrists. Strong, light, forged-aluminum alloy handles have a red, plastic coating that's molded for comfort (and makes pruners easier to spot in the garden). A non-corroding spring mechanism is covered with a metal sheath to protect from moisture.

Ideal for trimming rose bushes and woody perennials, the Felco Original's smooth, soft action, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional durability put it in a class of its own. It's covered by a one-year warranty. However, with proper care, these pruners will last a lifetime. --Mary Park

Quality Manufacturing Materials - Superior Cut; Test will be in longevity
Just purchased and finished first weekend of spring pruning our 21 rose bushes. The Felco F-2 pruning shears worked very well; made cuts that our old reliable (other brand) pruners could not. I was originally concerned about the weight, as they are a little heavier than my existing 'hardware store' pruning shears, but that was not a problem at all. The handles and finger grips are very ergonomically friendly, and ease of cutting makes up for any weight difference. They seem to be exceptionally well made of quality materials and no rivets to loosen up. The test will be in the long term with blade stamina, corrosion, the grips not wearing or splitting, and the spring staying agile. The good news is these blades are replaceable, however at about two or three times the cost of standard hardware store pruning shears, I would expect the blades to last at least twice as long. For now, I rate them a 5 star, but they are new, so we'll see how they hold up.

The best
These are the classic. If you are looking for the best these are them. Just ask any landscaper, as they will all have a pair hanging off their belt.

Felco Hand Pruner
We already had one but wanted another so both of us could use them at the same time. My husband and I both ordered one within two days of each other without knowing that the other had also ordered. That's just fine, now we have three just in case we misplace one. We have never found any other brand that we liked as well.
