Tools and Hardware Reviews of Felco Classic Manual Hand Pruner #F-2
Customer Review: Looking for Great Pruning?
Summary: 5 Stars
I have found Felco pruners and lopers to be the very best. They last! They are well designed for ease and effectiveness in use. It's a case of you get what you pay for. Given the number of less expensive pruning shears I've bought, Felco pruners may even be a great bargain!Customer Review: A pruner that works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had several different types of pruner, but finally decided to spend the extra money and get something that looked well made, easy to use and does the job. This is great and have become a Felco fan from now on.Customer Review: Felco #2
Summary: 5 Stars
I use and abuse these pruners everyday and they keep on working. Any part that ever needs to be replaced can be, making them the last pruner you will ever need to buy. Customer Review: As a Christmas Tree Farmer..
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Christmas Tree farmer, my pruner is my primary tool. This pruner is a workhorse and the only one that any of our employees will use. In fact, I've never seen another Christmas Tree farmer use anything else. The price means nothing to me, as I've been using the same pruner for many years. Only the blade is changed.Customer Review: 4th Season and Still Going
Summary: 5 Stars
Like most, I hesitated before spending this much on a pruner. Over time, however, I've tossed away so many cheaper models that, in retrospect I would have been better off financially and less frustrated had I bought the Felco to begin with.
The test of a pruner is in its cut. These cut through fairly heavy branches quite easily and without spreading the blades and jamming, which is what ALL the cheaper pruners do. The second consideration is comfort. Felco deals with that by offering the same basic pruner in several models, including one for smaller hands. I find this model comfortable and I wear a medium men's glove. I do wear gloves when pruning, by the way. Anyone who does not, regardless of the pruner make or model, is inviting blisters!
These pruners will rust. There are as many rust-preventive products on the market as leaves on your trees, but what you really want for outdoor tools is a non-drying product. I use Fluid Film, which is lanolin-based. Rust Prevention: Fluid Film Spray 11.75 oz.
Take care of these and you will have them for a long time. Mine are on their 4th season and still cut almost like new with the original blades. They get wiped down, sprayed down, and put away at the end of each day's use.
