Felco F6 Pruning Shears – 7.7" Swiss-Made Garden Clippers for Medium Hands | Hand Pruners for Gardening | Garden Tool Cutter with Precision Bypass Blade, Forged Aluminum Handles, Replaceable Parts

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!

Outstanding! Had great experience with quality of Felco loppers so ordered these F6 pruners. Very nice, razor sharp, pleasure to use. Carbon steel so remember to put thin coat of oil on blade when you are through using them to prevent rust.

I bought these as a gift. This is the kind of gift for someone who can recognize and appreciate quality. I have the same ones and love them. These have lasted me many year- and they perfom as good as new. The construction is well made with high grade materials. If the blade wears down the hardedned steel can be sharpened or if needed, a replacement can be ordered. These tools are made to last a lifetime

amazing sheers

These cut so smoothly with practically no effort I had to look to make sure I'd made the cuts. I was temporarily using a cheap pair after losing a fairly sturdy set I'd had for years from another manufacturer. I read the Wirecutter reviews before getting a long-term replacement and got a medium-sized version of their top pick. I am completely impressed with how easy these are to use and how well they cut. These are supposed to last forever, and I can't imagine getting another brand again.

Best pruning shears ever!

This Felco F-6 is an excellent bypass pruner. It is a bit heavy and a holster ( Felco F-912 Leather Scabbard Holster with Belt Clip ) might be a good accessory. The F-6 is recommended for smaller hands, and I have short hands/fingers. But I originally bought the F-8 ( Felco F-8 Classic Pruner with Comfortable Ergonomic Design ), which is for normal or larger hands. Frankly, the F-6 was not much of an improvement for me, so I stuck with the F-8, since the F-6 has a significantly smaller cutting capacity compared to the F-8. However, this difference might not matter for ordinary flower gardening for most people. F-6 specs: Length 7 1/4 inches, Weight 7.5 ounces. Recommended cutting capacity is 0.8 inches. F-8 specs: Length 8 1/4 inches, Weight 8.7 ounces. Recommended cutting capacity is 1.0 inches. Sharpening this type pruner is easy and requires no dissassembly(see Felco's directions/instructions). Use the Corona Clipper AC 8300 Sharpening Tool . And if you don't keep them sharp (and lightly oiled) they will soon dull and rust and be no better than a much less expensive pruner that is dull and rusted. If you don't think you'll maintain the tool maybe get one of these instead: 1. Corona Clipper BP 3180 1-Inch Capacity Bypass Pruner with Vinyl Coated Steel Handles . I've used this compact pruner in the past and they work fine if maintained. If not maintained, they'll dull and rust too, but they're still less than half the price of the Felco. The quality is nothing like the Felco's, but they're cheap, small and light. 2. Corona Clipper 1-Inch Capacity Bypass Pruner With Vinyl Coated Aluminum Handles BP 6250 . I haven't seen these, but they look like a Felco knock-off. They might be the best value for the money regardless of brand. In my opinion, while I haven't used them, for the average gardener the Corona Clipper 1-Inch Capacity Bypass Pruner With Vinyl Coated Aluminum Handles BP 6250 is probably the most sensible choice out of all those listed herein (including the Felco's). Corona is a good brand for most homeowners, and their products are widely available at local stores selling gardening supplies. Honestly the Felco is overkill for most home gardeners. Really for pros.

Great pruning shears. Wife loves this and it fits her hands comfortably.

Die Felco Rosenschere oder Gartenschere habe ich mir auf Empfehlung eines Landschaftsgärtners gekauft, nachdem mein Vorgängerprodukt nicht mehr zu gebrauchen war. #Da dies auch gleichzeitig das Arbeitsgerät so ziemlich jeden Landschaftsgärtners ist, war die Entscheidung klar. Die Rosenschere kam dank Amazon prime innerhalb von einem Tag und war ausreichend mit nicht zu viel Verpackungsmaterial verpackt. Die Optik: die Griffe sind mit dickem roten Kunststoff umzogen, die sehr gut in der Hand liegen. Die Scheren sind aus gehärtetem Stahl und machen gleich einen sehr guten stabilen Eindruck. Die Haptik: Die Schere liegt sehr gut in der Hand, man hat genug "Gewalt" und benötigt keine unnötige Kraft. Die Scheren sind mit einer Feder verbunden, die ohne große Kraftanstrengung zupacken. Der Praxistest: Nachdem die Schere nun ausreichend begutachtet wurde, ging es ans Schneiden. Getestet habe ich von dünn zu dick, soll heißen: dünne Zweige wurden ebenso geschnitten wie dickere Rosengehölze. Zum Schluß habe ich sogar versucht, Draht damit zu durchschneiden. Alle Schnitte, auch die der dickeren Rosengehölze, erfolgten, wie oben bereits beschrieben, ohne große Kraftanstrengung und lieferte saubere Ergebnisse. Die Schnittflächen waren sauber, das Schneidgut wurde nicht zerfranst oder gerissen. Ich habe bei allen Schnitten nur einen Versuch gebraucht, um das Gehölz zu durchtrennen. Dies ist bei billigeren Ausführungen nicht der Fall! Hier kann es durchaus passieren, dass man hin und herschneiden muß und somit der Pflanze Verletzungen zufügt. Selbst mein Test zur Durchschneidung von Draht war gelungen und ging problemlos von sich. Fazit: Auch wenn die Gartenschere teurer ist als manch andere, so ist sie jeden Cent wert! Sie schneidet gut, ohne Kraftanstrengung, vermeidet Verletzungen an der Pflanze und kann jederzeit mit entsprechendem Gerät nachgeschliffen werden. Kaufempfehlung? Unbedingt!!! Bevor man billig kauft und sich immer wieder eine neue Gartenschere zulegt, wäre es vielleicht eine Überlegung wert, einmal in eine etwas teurere zu investieren und diese lange zu nutzen

Love these pruners. An excellent fit for my small hands, and cuts with no problems.

Molto pratiche ed arrivate con a corredo l’accessorio per l’affilatura.

Conforme à la description. Prise en main très agréable.
