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

Customer Reviews

The one tool every gardener should have
I bought these as a graduation present for my daughter who has just taken up gardening. I have used my Felco's almost daily for 20 years. They are virtually indestructible and can be used everywhere in the garden.

Nice, if you have big hands
I've had mine for a couple of years now and still like them. They've worn well even though I don't treat them very well. I'll admit that I got them in part because of the snob appeal. Every horticulturist I know has a pair of Felco's in a holster on their belt.

You may want to see these in person first, though, before buying them on Amazon. I'm 6'4" and have pretty big hands, but the F-2s seem a tad big even for me. Maybe think about getting the F-6.

The price on Amazon was considerably lower than my local garden centers'.

Felco Classic Pruner
I am very pleased with the Felco Classic pruner. It is strong, accurate and lightweight. I cut and trim everything from roses and volunteer seedlings to 25ft high bamboo. I have used 3 pruners over the past 30 years, and I feel confident that this will be the last pruner I buy and will last me another 30 years.
