Product Description

From the Manufacturer

A superbly designed ergonomic bypass Felco pruner for the professional. The Felco 7 has a rotating handle that revolves on its axis, allowing the fingers to move naturally, reducing the blisters and hand fatigue that so often accompany prolonged pruning work. This unique swivel action requires up to thirty percent less effort than conventional models and offers maximum comfort on continuous pruning. The swiveling handle may feel strange at first, but you'll quickly come to wonder how you ever lived without it. This is the top-of-line for Felco pruners. Both cutting and anvil blades are not riveted, so they are easy to replace and the narrow, pointed blade design allows for close pruning. Includes adjustment key. Packaged in attractive plastic package suitable for storage, with instructions for care and maintenance tips. Length 8 1/4 inches, 10.2 ounces. Recommended cutting capacity is 1.0 inches.

Product Description

The Felco F-7 Gardening Hand Pruner with Rotating Handle has a comfortable, light, sturdy handle made of forged aluminum with a limited lifetime guarantee. The blade is made of high-quality hardened steel, which allows clean, precise cuts. The sap groove prevents the blade sticking when cutting "sappy" wood. It saves time and makes pruning easier by removing sap and debris after each cut. The Felco Classic Pruner is easily adjustable. Hand and wrist protection and optimization of the force exerted are provided by the angled head, the ideal shape of the handles, and the cushion-shock absorber / non-slip coating. The revolving handle spreads muscular effort across all fingers and reduces the overall cutting effort by 30%.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best. Inexpensive for a lifetime tool!, April 30, 2006

Felco 4 has been my pruner for years. The one I hide from all of my helpers, even my wife! After recently buying a Felco 7, and pruning some 50 rose bushes and two dozen trees in one day, I realize the beauty of this model, with the swivel handle - not one blister, or even hand fatigue!

This pruner is well worth the money, and is certainly worth spending a little bit more on than buying a Felco 4 or Felco 2. (Unlike the Felco 2 or 4, this model comes apart and various replacement parts are available)

The swivel handle makes for a unique pruning experience. The Felco craftsmanship makes for a clean, smooth cut every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars World's Best Pruner gets even better with rotating handle!, May 27, 2006

I have used the Felco #7 Pruner for more than 20 years now. Everytime I use them I thank my wife for recommending them to me. She got her Felco #7 Pruner from "Women's Work". I have taken it apart on the average of once every 5 years for adjusting and cleaning. Taking it apart and reassembling is very user friendly.
The real joy is in using the Felco # 7 purner. I did not believe a rotating handle would feel very secure to hold or to operate. Well, I was wrong. This pruner is very secure to hold and operates smoothly. Pruning with these is as easy as cutting butter. I have been able to use these pruners (bare-handed) for 8 hours of pruning. I have never gotten a blister or sore muscles, as I have gotten with other brands of pruners.
Pruning has never been one of my favorite gardening activities until I got the Felco #7, but I found out it was a joy to prune with a precision tool. I recommend these to all my friends.

These pruners are undoubtedly the best I have ever used. The ease of use is great. They will easily cut through 1/2" to 3/4" limbs. The rotating handle was a little hard to adjust to but now I would not own anything else. I have used them all, Fiskars, Craftsman and so on. I have never had anything to compare to these. Well worth the money.
