Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Pruning Shears & Snips
If you're looking at a Felco, you probably already know their reputation. I'll just give you my personal experience pruning for a 32-acre vineyard. These are extremely durable pruners yet lightweight. I have carpal tunnel syndrome. And yeah, after 10 hours of nonstop pruning in a vineyard, I hurt -- but I would QUIT without these Felco 7s. They are probably the most ergonomic, comfortable, gentle-on-your-hand pruners there are, 'cept maybe ARS, which I put as a close second. Tell you why in a minute. That roller dealy in the lower handle, you'll come to love that. It doesn't always lay down right, like I wish it did (ARS has a better roller, I think). But once you have it positioned and go to work, oh, that's nice, no blisters. These things are an extension of your hand. No other model that I've used compares well, except the ARS. But ARS has a couple drawbacks. These? -- Easy to maintain. Easy to clean, disassemble, sharpen, reassemble. Stays right where you set it, tension-wise, thanks to that neat little maintainer gear. Set the tension, lock it in. It won't lose the adjustment. Beefs with it? -- Every few snips that roller gets out of position and you find it sticks shut. Maybe a small sliver of wood gets stuck between the blades, it sticks shut, too. But that might be the way I have mine set, or maybe I need a new blade. I've had this an awful long time. But there *are* replacement blades. That's nice! Every part on here, I think, there's a replacement for. So, you only pay for these once. They aren't going to break on you. And the locking mechanism that keeps them shut -- that thing will sometimes work it's way into locking mode and you'll be bewildered a second, what happened? Until you realize, bet it locked itself on me. Again, that might just be *my* set, since they're old. Maybe that thing needs tightening. It doesn't happen all that often, so I don't bother. Just unlock it, keep working. Too many vines to go to stop and piddle with it. Opens with a flip of you thumb, so no big deal. And when you stop pruning, it's nice that it's just a flip of the thumb to lock it down again while you maneuver a cane to replace a cordon, or something like that. One-handed open/close your thumb gets used to, muscle memory. Comfort, hand-health, durability, parts availability, easy to maintain. You can't beat a Felco. And that's why *I'm* here now. I want a second pair, looking for a deal. You find these for $50, you jump on it. But only if they're new. Used, well... if you buy used and have to replace that blade, it's about $20. You can buy a new set for less than what you paid for used, see? Watch for deals -- and then you got to try to beat *me* to it! :)Read full review

The design is nice to use, especially in extensive cutting. It cuts crisply and the design affords easy dismantling for maintenance and parts appear to be abundantly available. I wanted a good pruner to work on my older weeping Japanese Maple, and be able to make clean cuts so avoid any diseased or damaged cuts. I was pleased with the outcome, and the tree looks “happy” with its thinning and shaping haircut.

These are very high quality, with replaceable parts. They’re comfortable to use and fit larger and smaller hands. Anyone who prunes more than casually should think of buying Felco.
