Tools and Hardware Reviews of Felco F-2 Classic Manual Hand Pruner
Customer Review: Felco Classic Hand Pruner - Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used Felco pruners for over 20 years. Every time I've switched to a "cheaper" brand, I've been disappointed. No more. It's Felco only from now on. The #F-2 size is perfect for all-around pruning. The grip is comfortable and the blades stay sharp for a long time, and are easy to sharpen when needed. The quick-lock switch is a great, easy-to-use feature and provide an element of safety as well. It's nothing but Felco's for me. I use them almost every weekend during my gardening therapy sessions. Don't skimp, get yourself some Felcos. Oh, I own three other sizes as well!Customer Review: Nice, if you have big hands
Summary: 5 Stars
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'.
Customer Review: Prone to rust - otherwise good
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought these online after seeing the amazingly positive reviews - and indeed they're powerful & precise, chopping through woody branches with ease.
Was a bit disappointed a few weeks later, though, to see the blades accumulating rust, and roughly dragging together - I wiped them off fairly well after using them, but I guess not quite thoroughly enough.
Seems like for a tool made to chop moist plant stems, a more rust-proof metal would have been a good design choice, especially considering the hefty price.
Customer Review: Great Pruners
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked in regular stores for a good pruner but only found the low quality Chinese stuff. I then searched online for a pruner made in the US but found this swiss pruner. It is great, cuts like butter and of good solid quality. I am sure I will still have and use it in 10 years whereas the Chinese stuff ends up in the trash after 6 months. I wish consumers would complain more about the low quality stuff that is on the market these days and pay a few $$$ extra and then get something quality made.Customer Review: well designed handles
Summary: 5 Stars
I have small hands and the grip felt comfortable right away. The handles are slim but ergonomic and are designed so the fingers and palm wrap around comfortably to give more leverage. My old corona clippers have thicker and less ergonomic handles and I have to use more of my arm and shoulder for a cut. I haven't had the Felco clippers for very long so I don't know how it will last after years of garden use (or abuse) but this product has been recommended by gardening friends of all sizes.
