Product Description

The Felco Classic Pruner for Left Handers 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Left-Hand Specific Pruners, May 29, 2007

Felco pruners are often touted as the best, so I won't spend much time commenting on the quality of the pruners in general. In deciding on a pair I discovered they offered left-handed specific ones. I debated between those and the right-handed pair for small hands because my hands are small. I opted for the left-handed pair as I know the difference it makes to have left-hand specific scissors. I really notice the difference, especially cutting branches that are big enough to be verging on being worth pulling out the loppers. My ideal pair would be left-handed for small hands, but until they have those, these are fantastic. I highly recommend them -- they're worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tool for a Lifetime., August 9, 2008

I don't know why, but these pruners are listed under two different descriptions but are clearly the same product. I have already reviewed them under the other description but I am happy to reiterate my support of them. This is a quality tool that can easily be re-sharpened and parts replaced. I have had mine for over ten years and am convinced that unless I lose them they will outlive me! If you are left-handed these are an essential gardening tool. I don't know of another manufacturer of left-handed pruners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money if you're a serious gardener, April 4, 2006

If you're just starting off with gardening you don't need to spend the money on these. You'll do fine with a $5 pair of shears from Home Depot, and that way if you end up not doing much pruning you haven't wasted any money. However, if you're a serious gardener who does a lot of pruning you'll want a serious set of shears and these are the best. The action is smooth and tight and the blade is fantastic. I bought the F9 because I'm left-handed, but if you're like most lefties and you're already used to using regular right-handed shears, you may not see any big advantage to these.
