Customer Reviews for Felco 5-1/2 in. Folding Pruning Saw

Easy and comfortable to use. Has a straight blade for cutting close to the ground. Stayed sharp after several uses.

My previous one (10yr old), the blade broke 2in from the tip, continued my project, and then broke again 3in from the hilt. This one worked great. The only issue that I had was flipping it open, like I use to do with the previous one, but that's because it's brand new, I'm sure that it will loosen up over time. The blade is a tiny bit thinner than the previous one, but it worked just fine on the branches that I was pruning off my tree.

Works well for small pruning jobs.

Lightweight and cuts through branches with clean cuts. I am a senior so it takes more effort for me to cut what needs to be done. I have purchased Felco garden tools in the past and like their quality products,

THE SAW WORKS WELL...I HAVE SEVERAL FELCO PRODUCTS AND WOULD REVIEW MY NEEDS BEFORE CONSIDERING BUYING ANOTHER BRAND TO SATISFY MY REQUIREMENTS AT THE TIME OF NEED..

I have used it once or twice and it works fine.

I needed to trim a few small branches and wasn't having any success with the saws I had on hand, so I went to YouTube for some help. One of the top rated suggestions was the Felco handsaw and i am so happy I purchased it. Incredibly sharp takes minimal effort to saw through smaller branches and even larger ones. I made it through a 3-1/2 inch tree trunk and got rid of a couple of sad looking Junipers that were a blight on my front yard. Very easy to use even with minimal upper body strength. My main pastime prior to inheriting all the yard work was sewing catnip toys for shelters and playing on the computer. Great buy, invaluable yard work tool -

great tool for trimming up roses, including climbing ones

My new go to pruning tool. Does a fast clean, cut with almost no effort. Small enough to carry in my pocket & sharp enough for the toughest difficult to get to branches.

Sharp and effective - I used it for trimming overgrown holly bushes and large oakleaf hydrangeas where the old branches were too thick for pruners. I will try it out on a dogwood soon. Lightweight and compact is a plus though I can't comment yet on the durability.

It’s awesome!

Very sharp blade, be careful opening and closing as well as while using it. Cuts well in space-limited spots, like inside bushes.

Perfect for What I needed it for, Drywall Cutting and Yard work!

It replaced one I’ve had for years.The previous one walked.

This pruning saw was used to saw through a trunk of about 4" in diameter. It was growing between a rose bush and a fence. Nothing large was appropriate for use in the space. I was able to maneuver the saw into the space and saw completely through the trunk. I recommend this saw for places where a larger saw is not practival.

perfect size for small pruning.

All that needs to be said is this is a Felco product. It is specially made and is an incredible product. For those that have never used Felco pruning shears you should and you will never go back to other manufacturers. Not sure have Felco makes their products but all are made better than everyone else's by far. All their products are a little more expensive but well worth the added cost. You never have to replace Felco products unless you lose them. They never wear out.

This pruning saw is easy to handle, and especially helpful in getting to those hard to reach branches inside the bushes, Carol

High quality that you would expect from Felco. Handy tool to carry with you as you work on your landscaping.

Being female, this is opening up a whole new world of independence to me! Whatever I couldn't prune with lopping shears, I left for male friends or workmen with big saws. But now, BABY, the sky's the limit! I can handle almost all of the pruning myself ... and it will end up being just the way I want it!

Excellent pruning saw, very sharp, cuts well and easily, handles easily. Remember to sanitize between plants and clean after done using.

Saw is sharp and works good...HOWEVER..blade is way too fragile and you can't replace just the blade when you snap it (and you WILL snap it). By Home Depot doing it this way, you have to buy a whole saw as replacement. More money for them, less for you.

My Dad always carries one of these little saws in his truck and after using it once I felt I had to have one myself. Simple design, compact and great for carrying around while you garden. Gets the job done!

This small tree saw has very effective cutting teeth, and is small enough to carry in your pocket and use while standing on a ladder. Its design allows you to get in between branches and trim the ones you target while the larger bow saw cannot do this. Good product.

I can carry this tool in my pocket, so it's there when I need it. When unfolded, it is scary sharp and cuts through dead wood easily. I have to push the button on the back very hard to release the blade for folding back into the handle. Not suitable for someone with arthritis.

Sometimes things are as they appear. Never having owned a Felco saw I wasn't sure what to expect. Upon recieving it ,there was no doubt it was made very well. The only question is, will it hold up to my use and occasional abuse? For the most part it is going to be used for backpacking,camping, and lane clearing for hunting. I do light tree trimming on occasion and will bring it along for medium/light trimming. The ergonomics of the handle ,plus the materials make this a comfortable saw. I really like the locking feature as many saws I've had experience with ,seem to have an issue with thier locks. Heads up, the replacement blades for these can be expensive . The other thing to consider is this type of blade cuts on the pull stroke. Not an issue for those who prefer this, but it's a little weird getting used to it if you don't usually saw this way. Overall I think it's very efficient and cuts like a dream . Lastly, the service was very good and delivery was fast. This saw is worth the money.

This is a very good pruning/sawing tool. It cuts on the pull. I've had mine for 3 years and it is still sharp. It cuts through limbs like butter. My only complaint isn't really the tool's fault but if the limb is too large then the pruner gets stuck when trying to cut; so I cut a wedge first and then start sawing inside the wedge.
