It saves time and makes pruning easier by removing sap and debris after each cut. The Felco Classic Pruner is easily adjustable. Hand and wrist protection and optimization of the force exerted are provided by the angled head, the ideal shape of the handles, and the cushion-shock absorber / non-slip coating.

Felco F-6 Classic Pruner For Smaller Hands

 

Customer Reviews

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.

I bought a set of these pruners for my girlfriend. She had a set of no-name bypass cutters from one of those big box hardware stores. The joint was loose on those, the blade rusty and she kept mashing the stems of the roses I bought her, so what was I to do? I own a set of the F-2's and wasn't going to give those up. So I got her a set of F-6's. Besides the handles being closer together, the bottom cutter on these cutters is replaceable and is narrower than the F-2's. So you can slip these cutters into a smaller spot. Not that it happens all that often.
On hand sizes, I wear a XXL work glove, (I have long fingers) she wears a Ladies L, which is a Men's M work glove. So if you have really tiny hands in comparison these cutters may still be too big for you. I can use either the F-2 or the F-6 but I prefer my F-2's, with the reverse being true for her.
She's delighted with these cutters. You will be too, you'll never go back to those other cutters.
