Bought these for my wife who has small hands, perfect fit, she is very happy. Bit pricey but I’ve always bought Felco, well built.
havent used this tool yet, but looks very well made
Der Rollgriff ist sehr praktisch. Hnde schmerzen weniger wenn man viel zu schneiden hat. Schere ist sehr scharf.
his item was no good for me. It was not clear on the advert that the front handle moved, so the item was returned. I ordered another more expensive set and they are perfect. There was nothing wrong with the first set and all Felco equipment is excellent. Thank You.
liegt gut in der Hand und ist schnitthaltig, leider kann die beste Pflege nicht verhindern, das die Schneiden anlaufe
Lama e costruzione sono eccellenti, come da tradizione felco. Il manico girevole riduce sensibilmente lo sforzo nel lungo periodo al prezzo di una certa scomodit quando si inizia – consigliata per lunghe sessioni di potatura pi che per la rifinitura.
This is so expensive! Finally treat myself using gift cards! It’s nothing like the regular standard sized store brought pruners. My old pruner gave me blisters and I did use it much. This one, the thick handle swivel/rotate with your fingers. Looking forward using it in the Spring.
Hervorragende Qualitt. Ist sehr hochpreisig. Die letzte Gartenschere (gleiches Model) hat nach intensiver Nutzung (16 Jahre) nun endlich den Geist aufgegeben.
Klare Kaufempfehlung!!!
They are so comfortable and easy to use. I have small hands but they are light and the handles are very comfortable. They seem very sturdy inspite of their weight. I’m sure they will last me for the rest of my gardening days.
Now in my 60s I’ve owned many pairs of secateurs. These are the most expensive I’ve tried but well worth the money.

Excellent quality product although the rolling grip takes a bit of getting used to. They are relatively expensive but worth the extra money. Highly recommended.

I know the product well. They are as good as expected, which is very good. I have 80 rose bushes and they are perfect for the job. I have been using Felcos for 40 years.
Depuis des annes de taille en viticulture, que du bon !!
Felco pruning shears are the best. Arrived right on time, and my wife loves them.
Liegt toll in der Hand. Alle Teile sind zu ersetzen. Felco ist kaum zu toppen.
This pruner has an easy grip and clean cut that feels different than cheap pruners
Excellente ergonomie, lger, solide, fait pour durer.
Conseil qui m’a t donn par un horticulteur : nettoyer l’eau de Javel pour ne pas transmettre des maladies de plante plante.
Es una tijera perfecta para personas con las manos pequeas. Realiza el corte de manera limpia.
I choose this seller based upon reputation – not the cheapest but a genuine Felco product.

ien dire trs bon produit habituel et habitu de ce genre de produit les yeux ferm bonne manufacture et surtout efficace par contre lames chres ainsi que ressort pour tout produit de la marque
Im slightly disappointed with these. Im a tree climber and use my secateurs alot. The swivel handle has already slightly slipped and the anvil has already started to stick a bit. Felcos are the best and im not saying these are not really nice to use. Im just disappointed with the money they cos

Expensive but they are superb and worth every penny. They cut really well through the wood and they are red so if you put them down on the ground they are easy to spot. I also like the fact that I can send them back to the factory to be cleaned, sharpened etc.

These secateurs are my husbands new best friend, he finds them easy to use & excellent quality so much so, he wants a 2nd pair……

Bei guter Pflege wird die Schere wohl jahrzehnte halten.
Liegt gut in der Hand und der Rollgriff ist sehr angenehm.
yay. kind on female hands. sharp and study. my new best friend in the garden. rusts easily. I keep it oiled but have not had to sharpe
I purchased the smaller size to fit my hand. Very nice! Cuts easily.
Simply put, the best pruners I’ve ever used. Fits my smaller hand perfectly.
I’ve had a similar pair of these pruners for 30 years. The locking mechanism on my pair became so loose it engaged during use and closed the blade. It was hot welded on my original pair, so not removable or adjustable. I am thrilled this issue has been solved by creating a removable / adjustable lock, and a specialized wrench to do this task was included with the new pair. I expect these will last me another 30 years!

I wanted something easy on my hands and these are great. I don’t even notice the rotation handle, but it’s definitely helping prune with ease.

Felco seem to be the secateurs recommended by most gardeners. They cost a bit more and so they should because they are very good!

Einer der besten schweren die ich je hatte. Was allerdings anzumerken ist dass sie nur fr sehr groe Hnde geeignet ist meine Hand ist schon relativ gro allerdings geht die Schere doch sehr sehr weit auf. Des weiteren wre es schn wenn der rollgriff wie bei einer Fiskars gartenschere ein Getriebe hat und nach dem schneidvorgang wieder in die Endstellung zurck gehen wrde was er allerdings nicht tut. Das sollte aber kein Mangel sein denn wenn man schneidet hat man die Hand immer an der Schere und nimmt sie normalerweise nicht ab.
Perfette! Leggere, precise, male al polso sparito completamente. Unica cosa, occorre abituarsi all’impugnatore rotante, all’inizio risulta difficile, ma passa subito!
Bought for my wife as a gift. She has small hands. They fit her well. She loves them.
I bought these as a present, and she is very pleased with them. best secateurs she has had .
Bien conu pour une main moyenne. La poigne tournante est un plus trs agrable pour les longues sances de taille d’hydrangea par ex. Le tranchant est exceptionnel. Intgralement rparable. Un must Felco s’il est bien entretenu. “Bucheron” s’abstenir…..Un outil de cette qualit se respecte.
Hatte frher immer im Frhjahr bei Baumschneiden BLASEN an den Fingern. Seit ich diesen Scherentyp mit dem Rollgriff verwende hatte ich nie wieder welche. Habe daraufhin auch meiner Frau und meinen Kindern je eine Schere gekauft damit sie mir meine nicht immer abspenstig machen! Eine gute Investition, da es auch eine gute Ersatzteilversorgung gibt. Einzger Nachteil: Bei meiner Schere die ich sehr stark beanspruche geht manchmal der Rollgriff herunter.
Die Schere ist teuer aber ihr Geld wert. Ich bin mit dem Schnitt sehr zufrieden. Der Zweig wird nicht gequetscht, sondern sauber abgeschnitten. Wer billig kauft, kauft zweimal, oder, wie ich, dreimal.
Trs ergonomique. Adapt aux grandes et petites mains. La fonction rotative de la poigne est gniale.
Tolle Gartenschere
Leicht zu bedienen
Liegt gut in der Hand
Sie ist, nach einigen Probeschnitten, sehr, sehr begeistert. Wen wundert’s. Sie macht ihre Sache genau so gut wie die Felco7. Nur eben 20mm dicke ste, statt 25mm bei der Nr.7. Also fr Frauenhnde bestens geeignet.
Nur einen Kritikpunkt habe ich. Und zwar glaube ich das die Schweizer ihre Maschinen bei der Fertigung mal etwas nachjustieren sollten. Denn die knallen die Schrauben dermaen fest, dass man sie bei dem ersten Mal zum auseinandernehmen ( zum Reinigen ) so gut wie nicht auf bekommt. Es sei denn man nimmt gleich einen Steckschlssel mit Ratsche. Dann funktioniert es. Also nur beim ersten auseinandernehmen. Dann beim zusammenbauen die Schrauben nicht so fest anziehen und man kann dann in Zukunft den mitgelieferten Schlssel Nr. 2/30 wunderbar benutzen. Diesen Schlssel habe ich brigens beim Erwerb der Nr.7 unwissend entsorgt, denn der ist fast unsichtbar an der Seitenwand der Verpackung angebracht. Erst bei der Nr.12 hat meine Frau diesen zufllig entdeckt nachdem ich Ihr die Verpackung zum entsorgen hingelegt hatte.
Das soll aber die Qualitt dieser wunderbaren Scheren in keinster Weise schmlern. Ich habe nmlich noch nichts besseres in der Hand gehabt.
Auch meinen Dank an Amazon. Gestern bestellt und heute geliefert. Besser geht es kaum
Very comfortable with the rotating lower grip. It suits the natural rotation of your hand as you cut. I’m a gardener in my day job and wouldn’t have any other type of secateurs.
Very high quality secateurs which will give many years of service.
Top quality. Needs a bit of time to get used to it. Does its job perfectly well, above expected.
The secateurs are nice and sharp, easy to handle. I liked the rolling action. They seemed to cut branches up to 0.5 inches thick without any difficulty.
If you need secateurs there is no point in buying anything other than Felco.
I used a lot of pruners over the years. We have over 272 rose bushes. These cut like butter. I would highly recommend!
Very well made, a superb pair of secateurs, easy to use.
These pruners are so easy to use it is amazing. They cut through small branches like butter. The rotating handle really does make them more comfortable to use.
The only brand you need to buy. Lasts for yrs
Used these for years – then carelessly lost them. Had to replace with exactly the same.
Felco, c’est la roll Royce des scateurs. Rien a dire, c’est la seule marque srieuse des pros et des jardiniers qui aiment avoir du tranchant.
Wie immer hat Felco hier eine stabile und handliche Schere auf den Markt gebracht. Bin begeistert von dem Teil.
These pruners are great. Got exactly what I was expecting. Love these
Great secateurs, easy to use, and the rotating grip is very comfortable.
Ce scateur est d’une excellente facture. J’ai ce modle en “gaucher”. Il facilite la tche grace son manche tournant. La force est dmultiplie. J’en prends trs grand soin. Je l’huile aprs chaque usage. Il est tellement bien que j’en ai achet un second pour une autre partie de mon jardin (2 000 m).
I’ve had a pair of these for about 18 years and I think they are brilliant. I work part time as a gardener so they get a lot of use. I’m also quite lazy so often cut thicker branches than I should do if I can’t be bothered to fetch the loppers. They cut really well. Yes occasionally the swivel handle comes loose but that’s usually if I’m cutting thicker branches than they can manage. Occasionally the spring falls out but again my secateurs are battered after being used so much over the last 18 years. I find them really comfortable despite having rheumatoid arthritis is my hands and wrists. The swivel handle really helps to reduce stress in the hands and fingers. My reason for looking now is I am deciding whether to have them serviced or buy a new pair! I was going to post a photo but they are so worn out I think buying a new pair may be my best option!
Update Feb 2020 – so I’ve had them serviced as I decided it was unnecessary to buy a new pair (trying not to be wasteful) and they are amazing. The company that service them charge 25 and they’ve come back like new. They even replaced the plastic coating on the non rotating handle. I am so impressed. Another good reason to buy Felco!
Fits into my small hands ok and once you get used to the unusual action is a dream to use.
coupe prcise, grande qualit de fabrication, poigne tournante un peu dconcertante.
Es gibt keine bessere. Langlebig und gut zu greifen . Fr kleine Hnde perfekt und guter Schni
You know with tools if you go cheap there is a difference. These work great.
Felco secateurs are superb quality, easy to use and I send mine off to Felco for servicing alternate years
I hated spending so much money on these, but my cheapie ones stopped working pretty quickly. My sister does a lot of gardening and she recommended these. They are good quality and I love the “smaller hands” size, especially since I have carpal tunnel, so the smaller size makes a big differences.
This is a very good product prunes very well and is not heavy. It has a very sharp blade and cuts very neatly and clean on any plant I have used it on.
Superb tool. Ideal for my hand size and not too heavy.
However once I managed to open them and got out in my garden I quickly realised they are far and away the best pair of secateurs I’ve ever used. All is forgiven.

I like how the roller handle makes cutting easier. And it’s a Felco, so I feel like it’s a good investment in a quality tool.
I have large hands and like the f-12. My wife has small hands and she found the f-12 awkward for her. She loves the f-6 so I guess it works out fine.
Excellent secateurs. The rotating handle makes it comfortable to use. This is our second pair.
Very sharp, comfortable & easy to use pruner. It works well for both myself and my wife. We like the fact that you can replace all of the parts instead of buying a whole new tool.
