There is nothing I can say about this wonderfull tool. I have had Felco pruners for years and the Felco 4 works best for me.

I usually get it cleaned and sharpened every year and it keeps working like new. My most recent purchase was a result of me giving my old one to my mother.

At the price that Amazon was offering, its a no brainer!!!!

I bought mine maybe 20 years ago. I love it. There are been days when I cut with it for hours, and get a lot of work done -- it keeps on cutting, my hand doesn't cramp, I don't get frustrated with it, it doesn't get dull on me. I've sharpened it a couple times over the years. I haven't had to replace any parts. You have to adjust the nut to get the right tension on the hinge -- but it is adjustable, and it stays adjusted. Every once in a while you have to clean it, because plant juices dry on it, and dirt sticks to that. Not a problem.

You get one of these, you can work for hours, and you get a lot of work done. I bought one for my wife, so now we don't have to pass it back and forth, take turns using it, or discuss who gets to use the Felco, and who has to use the lousier tool.

I got big hands. There's another one for smaller hands.

I needed to replace my girl's beloved "rose pruners" that I broke - it simply snapped apart when I tried to cut a 3/8 inch root!

When I found the Felco's for sale I jumped on this one - great price, best in class quality.

I ran a Professional XMAS tree farm and I and other growers all used Felco's. The price may seem high but you'll forget that in 15 years when these are still working and you realize you would likely be on your 15th toy trimmer - buy quality the first time - these last - you will not be disappointed.Felco Classic Manual Pruning Shears #F-5

This is my second pair of Felco pruners. I'm sure I would have enjoyed my first pair for much longer than the 14-plus years I had owned them if I hadn't lost them. I'm thinking they may have somehow ended up in a leaf-recycling bag or buried in a hole with a transplanted shrub. It was springtime and I was pretty much helpless in the yard without them. They perform very well, are durable, and fit comfortably in hand. I wouldn't even consider any other brand.

I am very disappointed in the Felco pruners I bought. I have trouble with them sticking- even though the release is correctly placed and I keep the blades clean. Every time I do a pruning cut, the shears stick closed and do not release, making it necessary to manually spread the blades for the next cut. For the price, I would have expected better performance and am not too enthusiastic about expensive pruners- give me the old cheapies after this.
