Original Felco design; unchanged for over sixty years. Solid-forged metal alloy handles are complemented by a Swiss precision made hardened cutting blade (replaceable) and an anvil blade with a sap groove. A hardened bolt and nut assure exact adjustment of both the cutting and anvil blades. A rubber cushion and shock absorber provide smooth working and soft closing of this pruner. Length 8.5".
These classic Felco pruners set the standard by which all others are judged. The choice of landscape professionals, nursery workers, and savvy gardeners around the globe; this exceptionally well-made tool features a design that's been unchanged for more than 50 years. The anvil blade has a deep sap groove to prevent sticking. A Swiss, precision-made cutting blade with soft wire cutter is replaceable for maximum return on investment. An easily-adjusted bolt and nut allow users to customize blade alignment for more efficient operation. A rubber cushion with shock absorbers pads blades where they come together to reduce impact and strain on wrists. Strong, light, forged-aluminum alloy handles have a red, plastic coating that's molded for comfort (and makes pruners easier to spot in the garden). A non-corroding spring mechanism is covered with a metal sheath to protect from moisture.
Ideal for trimming rose bushes and woody perennials, the Felco Original's smooth, soft action, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional durability put it in a class of its own. It's covered by a one-year warranty. However, with proper care, these pruners will last a lifetime. --Mary Park

Best pair of pruners I have ever owned. Sharp enough to cut through anything in your garden and makes very clean cuts. Easy on the hands and well made. Excellent product.
Having used many brands of pruners through the years I think I have found the perfect tool. Sharp blades, opens and closes effortlessly and the lock close switch does what it should and what more can you ask.
This is my second Felco Pruner. THe first one lasted more than 20 years. Well worth the money and if you don't lose them they will last a very long time.
Night and day difference between these and the pruners you can get ate your local H*** D**** or L****. The blades are very sharp and keep their edge.
I was searching for the "best" pair of cutters after years of one piece of junk after another. Although this is big step up over others, when will somone make a really solid pair of cutters that will last a lifetime? They cut well, fit is adequate, the clasp lock is as cheesy as other lesser brands. I suspect this pair will last a season or two more only than some other brands I have owned then it too will need to be replaced. "They just don't make them like they used too" unfortunately.
