- Felco Classic PrunerI am very pleased with the Felco Classic pruner. It is strong, accurate and lightweight. I cut and trim everything from roses and volunteer seedlings to 25ft high bamboo. I have used 3 pruners over the past 30 years, and I feel confident that this will be the last pruner I buy and will last me another 30 years. Rating: - Top QualityThe finest pruners I have ever owned. Solid construction and excellent cutting ability. If you have smaller hands, consider a smaller size but for me they are exactly what I need. Rating: - QUALITY QUALITY QUALITYThis will be the only clipper you will ever need and it will last a lifetime if you take care of it! Sharpens easily and new blades and parts can be purchased! Felco rocks! Rating: - Quality Manufacturing Materials - Superior Cut; Test will be in longevityJust purchased and finished first weekend of spring pruning our 21 rose bushes. The Felco F-2 pruning shears worked very well; made cuts that our old reliable (other brand) pruners could not. I was originally concerned about the weight, as they are a little heavier than my existing 'hardware store' pruning shears, but that was not a problem at all. The handles and finger grips are very ergonomically friendly, and ease of cutting makes up for any weight difference. They seem to be exceptionally well made of quality materials and no rivets to loosen up. The test will be in the long term with blade stamina, corrosion, the grips not wearing or splitting, and the spring staying agile. The good news is these blades are replaceable, however at about two or three times the cost of standard hardware store pruning shears, I would expect the blades to last at least twice as long. For now, I rate them a 5 star, but they are new, so we'll see how they hold up. Rating: - The bestThese are the classic. If you are looking for the best these are them. Just ask any landscaper, as they will all have a pair hanging off their belt.
