Felco F2 Pruning Shears – 9.25" Swiss-Made Garden Clippers for Professional Pruning | Hand Pruners for Gardening | Garden Tool Cutter with Precision Bypass Blade, Aluminum Body, Replaceable Parts

Strong and sharp. Great quality

Well made and works as advertised

A garden-loving friend had been exceptionally kind helping me out after an injury, and I needed a really good present to express my appreciation, something that might last longer than a huge box of extra-expensive chocolates, and ideally, of course, a gift that might inspire happy thoughts when used in a fond pursuit. There's no pretending Felco Pruners are inexpensive. There are dozens on the market at a small fraction of the price, but you'd be lucky if they lasted an entire season. Felco's are one of those increasingly rare items crafted to last a lifetime. The carbon steal blade can be removed for a serious sharpening. Or if they happened to be left out in the wet too long (or if you just can't be bothered & want super-sharp fast), replacement blades are readily available at a reasonable cost, as indeed are all the moving parts like the spring and the catch. These are the hand-pruners of choice for both professional landscapers and dedicated home gardeners who know that a tad of thoughtful care will pay off in a lifetime's enjoyment. I recommend also treating yourself to one of the two models of leather holster to keep them readily within reach on your belt every time you venture into the garden. For my friend, I chose the F-6, which is better scaled for smaller hands, and is an excellent all-around tool for everything from gathering bouquets to pruning roses and medium-sized shrubs. Felco makes a dozen or so variations designed larger or stronger hands and a variety of applications. Myself I own two pair: the first was a bonus on my first professional garden job over a quarter century ago, the classic Felco F-2 , and they are still the ones I reach for first. A dozen years ago, I treated myself to the larger, longer-gripped Felco F-13's , which are the only thing for pruning thicker branches in quarters too tight for the usual long-handled loppers or trimmers. Chose carefully, as you would for any friendship you expect to last a lifetime. Incidentally, if I find yourself in the kitchen and needing to cut apart some variety of fowl or game bird, a quick wash with hot water and dish soap allows the Felco's to make quick work the job. Myself, I send them through the dishwasher after use, just on general principles. Then afterwards I treat my shiny-clean clippers to a dab of 3-in-1 (or any sort of mineral oil--including baby (!)--works fine, even olive oil in a pinch) on the blade and any moving parts, and wipe down thoroughly with a soft cloth. Good as new!

Quick delivery. Awesome product!! Well worth the money!!

Awesome sharp shears that make a clean cut.

Perfect! Highest quality available. As a bicycle mechanic, Ive had a pair of Felco cable cutters for over 30-years, and they still work as well as new. A+

I have had these F6 clippers less than 2 weeks in northern Oregon and as you can see from the pictures they have started to rust. I washed and oiled them after using with WD40. So, I considered returning them but you can only get 50% off because of restocking fee. So I decided to see if these were counterfeit product and called Felco in Seattle, WA. What I found out was surprising and I no longer will return them. I found that too enhance sharpness these blades are carbon steel and not stainless. Carbon steel sharpness is great but it tends to rust quickly. I was advised to call a service/repair center in New York. I was told that I should never use WD40 as it displaces water and doesn't adequately oil. The rep advised I use a regular machine oil or olive oil. She advised I use a brillo pad to remove the rust and to be aware that over time the blades will turn darker and it is not a issue affecting use. I took my clippers completely apart to remove any WD40 and washed all parts, scrubbed the blades and they look almost new. Almost new because there are slight scratches from my scrubbing with the steel wool type scrubber. Hope this helps you all. I gave 4 stars because I love the cutting ability and would recommend them but it would have been nice to have the maintenance info in the description or in the product specs.

Bought these for my wife for her gardening needs. She loves them. They just work.

Como todos los elementos de su marca, gran calidad. Lo recomiendo

Have been using this pair of secs for 7 years now, and they are fantastic. I sharpen them a lot, but that is just through use, and I abuse them a lot by using them on branches they shouldn't be cutting. If you have a strong grip, these will cut through anything you can fit in its jaws. I don't advise that, but they will do it. Much better than paying a paltry amount for worthless secateurs, push the boat out, and these will last forever.

Bunu 20 yıldan fazla süredir kullanıyorum ve her zaman mükemmel. Sipariş verdim ve ertesi gün ürünü teslim aldım

Received in time

The Felco 2 is the absolute best. Believe me, I know. I had mine since 1996 and always use it. Suddenly I lost it last week. I decided to order a new one, and it arrived within a day. Expensive, but it is worth every cent, and when maintained well, it lasts forever. I use some very light sandpaper to clean the blades, put some oil on it in winter, and further it sharpens itself. The fact not a single part or screw changed in 29 years says enough.
