Product Description

Designed for those with smaller hands who may prefer a smaller, lighter pruner. It is comfortable to use yet every bit as sturdy and powerful as the other Felco models. Ideal for small pruning work such as grape vines, shrubs and young trees. It is also the choice of many florists. The anvil blade is screw mounted. The shorter blades facilitate closer cutting to the stem of the plant. Length 7.25".

The gold standard for small hands. Buy It!5
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. If you only want one of these little gems, this smaller one will do everything the larger one does, but with a bit more effort.

Nothing Compares!5
When I cleaned out my garage, I found at least 5 or 6 rusty pruners. I cleaned them up and started using them again. I realized I had let them get lost and rusty because they were all horrible. These are different. They're unbelievably sharp and effortless to use. I adore them and I'm very pleased to see that the parts can be replaced as needed. I'm considering replacing my lopper with Felcos. I held off buying these because of the cost, but they're well worth it and I take better care of them than my other pruners. Don't be fooled by the lookalike brands. I have a pair of those that cost half the price and they're barely better than a $6 pair from the depot. I have average female hands and Felco #6 is comfortable to use and hold. I was thrilled that Amazon had these in stock at a good price.
