There is nothing I can say about this wonderfull tool. I have had Felco pruners for years and the Felco 4 works best for me.

I usually get it cleaned and sharpened every year and it keeps working like new. My most recent purchase was a result of me giving my old one to my mother.

At the price that Amazon was offering, its a no brainer!!!!

I needed to replace my girl’s beloved “rose pruners” that I broke – it simply snapped apart when I tried to cut a 3/8 inch root!

When I found the Felco’s for sale I jumped on this one – great price, best in class quality.

I ran a Professional XMAS tree farm and I and other growers all used Felco’s. The price may seem high but you’ll forget that in 15 years when these are still working and you realize you would likely be on your 15th toy trimmer – buy quality the first time – these last – you will not be disappointed.Felco Classic Manual Pruning Shears #F-5

I bought these after losing my old ones, which had black handles and were hard to spot when misplaced. The Felco shears are of high quality and cut “like butta”. I couldn’t be happier with their performance. Buy ‘em – you won’t be disappointed. The red rubber handles also make them easy to keep track of.

I have been a devotee of Corona and still have a 40 year old “made in Switzerland” hand pruner inherited from my dad. But it has a broken blade…not able to find a replacement. And the new Corona’s are just not in the same league as my old one. So this entry model F-5 Felco looked like a good choice especially at a price under $20.

The PROS for the Felco F-5:

1. Simple, strong, bullet proof construction. No parts coming loose and falling off like many of the current hand pruners being sold.

2. Easily handles the occasional heavy cuts that would break or severly challenge all other hand pruners I have tried.

3. The Red handle. I will never own hand pruners that do not have a bright Red, Red-Orange or Orange handle. In real life I deliberately drop or set my pruner down to clear cuttings out of the way. I tried a holster but for me it was a nuisance, especially when I was working and manuevering in heavy landscaping. It seems most hand pruner manufacturers have taken to emphacizing style over function…using sophisticated colors like various shades of green, maroon and even black. Needless to say these colors can “disappear” your pruner if you drop it or lay it down.

CONS – None to date

In summary I am very impressed with my new Felco and am now considering getting one of their more expensive “made in Switzerland” models. I always like to keep extra hand pruners in each of my vehicles “just in case”.

These Felco products fit even my arthritic hands. They start sharp and stay that way.
