These classic Felco pruners set the standard by which all others are judged. The choice of landscape professionals, nursery workers, and savvy gardeners around the globe; this exceptionally well-made tool features a design that's been unchanged for more than 50 years. The anvil blade has a deep sap groove to prevent sticking. A Swiss, precision-made cutting blade with soft wire cutter is replaceable for maximum return on investment. An easily-adjusted bolt and nut allow users to customize blade alignment for more efficient operation. A rubber cushion with shock absorbers pads blades where they come together to reduce impact and strain on wrists. Strong, light, forged-aluminum alloy handles have a red, plastic coating that's molded for comfort (and makes pruners easier to spot in the garden). A non-corroding spring mechanism is covered with a metal sheath to protect from moisture. Ideal for trimming rose bushes and woody perennials, the Felco Original's smooth, soft action, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional durability put it in a class of its own. It's covered by a one-year warranty. However, with proper care, these pruners will last a lifetime. --Mary Park

Perfection -- Worth Every Penny September 22, 2008
If gardening is a true passion for you, don't think twice about the price on these pruners -- they are worth every penny. I have easily spent $40 on less-than-amazing pruners in the past year. . . as long as you clean off the Felco pruners after using (I wipe them off with a damp towel, then dry, and then I use WD-40 to prevent rust), they will last you a long time.
Excellent choice... September 1, 2008

I checked several web sites - including Felco - and got the same pruner here much cheaper. These pruners are top notch.....will last several years, if not decades, if you take care of them.
 Prone to rust - otherwise good August 30, 2008

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.
The one tool every gardener should have July 9, 2008
I bought these as a graduation present for my daughter who has just taken up gardening. I have used my Felco's almost daily for 20 years. They are virtually indestructible and can be used everywhere in the garden.
Nice, if you have big hands July 8, 2008
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'.
