Product Information

A top choice among gardeners, the FELCO Model 2 Secateurs offers high performance, functionality, a comfortable hold and a lifetime warranty. At the end of testing, all bypass pruners also went through a papercut test to see if the blades had stayed tight and sharp enough to cut a thin piece of paper.

The safety catch is on the top of the handle and easy to switch on or off with a flick of the thumb. The blades made with Ultra-fine Polishing Technology and teflon or titanium coating, very sharp and prevent tree pulp adhesion caused by rust on the blades.The gardeners at Great Dixter put 10 popular models to the test to help you make the best selection. Each squeeze of the handle drives the blade further down into the stick until it eventually cuts through. Look for handles that have an ergonomic design, as they are more comfortable and put less strain on your hands. This coating also prevents sap from sticking to the blades; however, many pruning shear models are designed with sap grooves that serve the same purpose. Maintenance: Considered how easy they are to clean and sharpen, if replacement blades are available or a maintenance service is offered.

The Felco 6 took the best parts of their previous models and combined them with great ergonomics and a slightly more compact design. It easily and smoothly performed over 100 cuts through up to ¾”-thick live and dead wood and was still able to cleanly cut through a piece of paper afterwards.Similar to the Felco – F-2, we found the Felco – F-6 just as durable and easy to use with ultra-sharp edges, but the added benefit of custom handles made for smaller-sized hands. They’re a staple of every gardener’s tool box,” said Rachel Burlington, curator of the International Rose Test Garden in Portland.
