Tools and Hardware Reviews of Felco F-2 Classic Manual Hand Pruner
Customer Review: BEST PRUNER'S EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't buy these Felco Pruner's Online at Amazon..I'm a Landscaper that's been in business and using Felco pruners for well over 6 years I've used them to cut branches that no other pruners would not. I would NEVER switch to anything else. They never break, and the blade's are replacable if you ever ding the blade were it can not be repaired. Now that I know there here on Amazon, I plan on buying another pair, just in case I end up losing the one's I have. There more than worth the money whether your using them for commercial use or just residental. They will cut any hardwood branch you need them to. Garenteed. And for the person who put them as three stars because of rust; you need to oil them and keep them in better care than leaving them out in the yard at night..they stay in my truck toolbox even during the winter and as long as you oil them once a week; they will be fine.Customer Review: The gold standard of pruners. Buy It!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: The Pruner's Pruner
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many others, I was reluctant to pay this much for a set of hand pruners. I had a nice pair of Fiskars and they worked very well. At least I thought so until I tried these. They make quick work of everything. They are solid and heavy - and razor sharp. We got them primarily for roses - and for that they excel. The Fiskars are good for newer roses but these are outstanding for even are older larger stock. Old tough half inch stems are no match for the Felcos. They also work great on our oleanders and ficus plants - some of which can be too much for the Fiskars.
I can't imagine there is a better pair on the market. I'm sorry I let a few bucks get in the way of buying these years ago.
Customer Review: Just Buy This Pruner
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Customer Review: All the hype is true!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yeah, we've been hearing about this product for years with nothing but rave reviews. Well, the hype is true. This is a great tool (pruner) and you'll never buy another brand. This is my second one with my other lasting well over 12 years. For some reason I thought I needed another pruner (after all, all of my others lasted only a year or two at peak efficiency) so I bought a new one (and the F6 for my wife, which she loves also), but still use my original F2 for most of my cuts, saving the new one for special cuts for special shrubs. What a great product and Amazon's price is hard to beat.
