Hello! Happy with Amazon. When it comes to designing for utility, the Swiss are masters. Unless you have very large hands (basketball player? ), you won't be able to do it. ), you'll likely find these pruners to be comfortable enough to use in your garden for an extended period of time. I just compared the handles on my Felco F-100 to those on my other Felco F-100. My Felco F- pruners and six classic pruners 2 Pruners (Classic) The handles are the same as well. The only difference between them is the pruner's weight. The F- The number 6 is for lighter pruning, such as roses, vines, and shrub shaping, whereas the number F- is for more serious pruning, such as roses, vines, and shrub shaping. Before getting to the required "lopper" dimensions, use number 2 for larger canes and branches. Because I hold my pruners in high regard. If I come across a cane or branch that is too big, I use the F- When I get to the "lopper" size branch, I'll use the second pruner. I come to a halt and grab a pair of loppers. And it's paid off for me because my pruners are still in good shape after all these years. There's an old Chinese proverb that goes something like this: PLANT A GARDEN IF YOU WANT TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. " Good luck with your gardening!" "P. "Name" is one of my favorite words in the English language. Amazon's retailing miracle has made me very happy as well!
I've had my Felcos for nearly 30 years, and for the first 10 to 15 of those years, I used them every day, often in the rain, as a professional licensed arborist and then as a licensed landscape contractor. I've been using them in my home landscape on a regular basis since then. If not used on a regular basis, the blades will develop a light rust that is easy to clean and sharpen. I just replaced the blades and spring for the first time this spring, and you won't find a better pruner in my opinion; Unless you pay someone else to do it for you, of course!
These pruners were recently ordered, and I have small hands as well. They're fantastic. As a basket maker, I rely on them to cut all of my extremely heavy materials. I'm not sure about the adjustability, but they're fine as is. Thank you for your interest.
Selected User Reviews For Felco Pruning Shears (F 10) - High Performance Swiss Made Steel One-Hand Garden Pruners
I've already used it a few times and I really like it! br>Recent changes: Please look at the photos. After a few times using them in my new vegetable garden, I'm sold. Why why? I desired to be in love with them. I'm afraid I won't be able to return them either. br>br>Update: Then I cleaned it according to the manufacturer's instructions. They're even worse now that I've used them twice this week.
Great pruner, but when compared to the Felco F-100, this "large size" pales in comparison. The only reason I didn't give this pruner five stars was because the description was incomplete. The F- This pruner comes in two sizes: size 2 is the "large" size, and size F is the "small" size. 6 (costs a couple of dollars less). I bought this for my wife because Felco pruners are simply the best (much better than the $20 varieties sold at big box stores). The issue is that the item's description does not state that the F- is required. I am an average-sized adult man with a "hand width" of 9 1/2 inches (from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my pinky). The F- 2 is the ideal number for me. The F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F 6 may be a far better option, as the Amazon description should indicate.
I've been gardening since I was a child, and I've used and bought a variety of pruning shears. These are the best! They're slightly smaller than most standard hand pruners, which I like, and because I wear a size 7 glove, they're much easier to use. They're easy to sharpen and keep their edge for a long time. br>My favorite and most used gardening tools are this and a Hori Hori garden tool.
The F- is ideal for small hands, but the F- is recommended for larger hands. 2's. I bought these for my wife because she didn't want the $10 ones from the big box store that were made in China and wouldn't last more than a season. br>br>I was debating whether to get these or the F- 2's. These have been described as being for smaller hands, and they are. Some people have said that these are still TOO big, but I disagree. I'm a typical man, standing 6'2" and weighing 180 pounds. In my hands, these are quite small. br>br>They appear to be a good fit for my wife's hands and are fairly small. I'm going to get the F-. For me, it's a two. br>br>These are razor-sharp and slice through her rose bushes like butter. She enjoys putting them to use. Once I've received my F-, I'll be able to move on to 2's I'll include comparison pictures in the review because I couldn't find any pictures of them side by side, which made it difficult for me to make a decision.
They use knockoffs until that time comes. One thing to keep in mind is to soak the holster (sold separately) in a good oil, such as three in one, for at least a week before putting the pruners in it. The holster will conform to the pruner and will last much longer.
By comparison, Friskars appear to be child-safe scissors. They effortlessly sliced through thick, dead woody canes. My only gripe is that they're designed for men's hands, not women's. br>br>My hands are of average size for a lady. I'd say a size small glove and a size 5 ring are typical Caucasian sizes. When you open the blades, these clippers are almost impossible to hold. In other words, if you hold your hands as if you're gripping imaginary clippers as wide as you can, and this gap is less than 4", you won't be able to fully open or close these clippers while wearing gloves. They barely fit my hands without gloves, and with gardening gloves, I have to adjust my grip so that the closing action is performed by my middle, longer finger. My index finger isn't long enough to wrap around the handle without slipping. The handles are smooth rubber and aren't particularly grippy. So, unless they're small enough for your fingers to completely wrap around them, you'll have to awkwardly adjust your grip.
In my 35 years of gardening, this is the best pruner I've ever owned. I currently have a large yard and, due to fibromyalgia, have fallen far behind on its upkeep in recent years. Well, I retired last year and began catching up on my yardwork as soon as spring arrived. It's now summer, and I've probably used this pruner for at least 50 hours; I don't mean that it's been on my belt for that long; I mean that I've cut branches for that long, and the blade is still razor sharp. It was razor sharp when it was brand new. And it lasts a surprising amount of time: if you don't hit a trellis wire or use it to cut roots in the dirt, it will stay razor sharp for at least several years for the average user with an average yard. br>br>According to one reviewer, his was rusted. In my experience, this is not the case. I rubbed a heavy oil on the blade after the first few days of using it, but I've only done so to remove sap residue since then. The blade is as polished and shiny as the day I received it, with the exception of some residual sap residue. A fine pruner, like a wood chisel, should be rubbed down with a medium to heavy weight oil after use (not WD40, which should only be used for sap removal). br>br>At one time, Fiskar produced a bypass pruner that was a serious competitor to the Felco. It wasn't as sharp as the other, but it was still capable of cutting through large branches. However, it hasn't been produced in over a decade. Since then, I've spent over $50 on a pruner that actually works. Instead, I wish I had taken the plunge and purchased these sooner. These have a blade that can be replaced. br>br> So, unless Felco goes out of business, they'll last for the rest of my life, which should be around 20 years according to the actuarial tables.
