Best Felco Secateurs Review

Why Felco Secateurs Are The Best

When I first started gardening I bought, broke and lost several different types of secateurs. Secateurs that were neither strong nor durable. This Best Felco Secateurs Review explains why I recommend these superior pruning and cutting tools.

When I discovered Felco Secateurs and cutting tools, I invested in a couple of pairs and have never looked back.

Felco secateurs are not cheap by any standards but they are Swiss made and come with a lifetime guarantee and the Swiss reputation for excellence in engineering.

The blades are made from high quality heat treated steel they will literally last a lifetime, they are sharp and cut through new and dead wood with very little effort.

I have both of the secateurs that I have highlighted below and I would not be without them. I use them on a daily basis, they have never let me down. They come in a range of sizes so you can buy a pair specific to your hand size, both left handed and right handed.

Also available from Felco are, pruning saws, snippers, loppers and cordless secateurs.

Professional  Secateurs For Professional Gardeners

As a professional gardener carrying out a huge amount of pruning work the cushion and shock absorber is essential for me as it protects my hands and wrists from repetitive stress syndrome.

The rolling handles on the Felco Pruning Shears (F 12) – are practical and make the cutting action easier, exerting less pressure on your hands and wrists, therefore less muscle fatigue.

They are also lightweight and straightforward to handle and use for all your gardening pruning work. Available from ONBUY

Pros

• High quality Swiss engineering
• Easy to use
• Adjustable
• Spare Parts available
• Easy maintenance
• Lifetime Guarantee

Cons

• They are not the cheapest secateurs
• A large choice of secateurs, you need to do your homework to find the pair suitable for the job you want them for.

 

Over the last few years I have carried out pruning work at a local vineyard, without these secateurs I would not be able to efficiently and correctly carry out this work…imagine 10,000 vines pruned by hand.

For me the ease at which I can dismantle them for cleaning and easily available Felco spare parts make them well worth my investment.

I carry them with me at all times at work, I keep them clean, oiled and sharp.

Once a year I dismantle them and clean all the components…Well, they look after me, the least I can do is return the favour!

Alternatively Felco UK offer an option to return them to their UK repair site for servicing. For a small fee they are cleaned, repaired and if necessary parts replaced, they are returned home to you looking like brand new secateurs, well worth the cost.

Another thing I love about them are their bright red handles…even I cannot misplace them!
