Questions & Answers

I’m a newbie rose gardener. Are these pruners good to prune rose canes ?
ByMay 2, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Yes, rose canes are woody material the ideal material for a pruner. The F2 is a large hand tool depending on your hand size you might seek a similar model that fits best to your hand. Here is a simple list of models by hand size. F2 & F8 - Large Right Hand, F6 Medium Left Hand, F14 Small Right Hand. Think of your glove size to help gauge size of tool.

    What is best way to store these to prevent rust and corrosion?
    ByJan 26, 2025

    Answer This Question

    After use just simply dry your tool and use a oil on the blade before storing to prevent rust. You can use FELCO 980 spray which is a rust inhibitor, cleaner and lubricant so a all in one solution.

      Answer This Question

      I have been doing a lot of research and Felco Sheers are definitely right or left-handed. On other styles and other sites it tells you clearly. This is definitely something missing in the description on this one.

      By|Jun 18, 2026

        I never had issues using these left or right handed.

        By|Jan 21, 2026

          (1)

          Well they don't tell you directly 'left hand or right hand" but most of us understand this part of the official description "Vertical design handles for ambidextrous use" to mean you can use them with left or right hand with the same ability.

              Answer This Question

              You can have these sharpened. I sharped mine all the time. I don’t believe they make replacement blades. You need to buy a new pair.

                You can buy replacement blades at garden centers and Home Depot too. They are easy to replace as well

                  The Felco 2 Pruners weigh 8 oz. or .5 lbs.

                  By|Jun 15, 2026

                    I don’t know. They are not heavy. I have arthritis and I am an avid gardener. They are great pruners.

                      Are these too large for most women's hands? I have large hands for a woman and I have heard lots of remarks about the F 6 being better for most women's hands because they are smaller. Is it the size (how far apart the handles are when open) or the weight as to why they recommend buying the smaller F 6 than the F 2 for women?

                      I have used these snips for over 20 years. I am in my 60's and these are The Best and Easiest snips I have ever used. They lock closed and are Very easy to squeeze and Cut with when unlocked. No buyers remorse on these !!!

                        I think these are perfect. I wear a ladies large glove. I also have arthritis. Action on these is very smooth. When open handles are 5 1/2”. I wouldn’t buy anything else!

                            Yes Felco pruners are Swiss made.

                            Yes , they are. Felco Pruners are easy on the hands . They are very sharp. Given the choice between Felco and other brands as far as quality and ease of cut , the Felco is a no-brainer. The Felco Pruner cost more than others but is well worth it, especially if you are doing a lot of pruning. You can ask 1000 professional landscapers, "What pruner is best ?", and you will receive "Felco !", as the answer 1000 times.

                              Well since the first line in the official details states this "About This Product The iconic, award winning, red-handled pruning shears/secateurs made in Switzerland.." Most of us would assume they are telling the truth and yes, they are Swiss made.

                              By|Jun 24, 2025

                                Yes made in Switzerland, but do not have to be assempled.

                                  Best pruners money can buy!
                                  The Felco #2 hand pruner is simply the very best money can buy. They are not cheap, but worth every dime. I have used my personal pair hard for over 20 years, only twice replacing the blade and have purchsed additional pairs for my wife (so I can use my own!) and friends who live in their gardens and yards.

                                  These Felco pruning shears are very well made with sharp blades & a hardy, very ergonomic handle. You get what you pay for with these excellent pruners. They are a bit pricey, but well worth the investment. Wish I had bought them sooner. I highly recommend them! They’re like a good Swiss Army knife for gardening & trimming. It also comes with a convenient adjustment tool.

                                  The pruners are very solid and high quality. I do feel that they are a bit difficult to use. They stick unless you clean the cutter part.
