8-1/4" Pruner (High-Performance) - F-7  Product Reviews

"I've been using Fiskars rotating pruners for a long time and love them. I decided to 'step up' to Felco's for my birthday. They are a bit strange. The one side that rotates can be rotated all the way around so that it doesn't rotate anymore and I find that I'm contstantly fooling with it. They are also a bit too large for smallish hands. If I hadn't paid so much for them, I'd probably go back to the Fiskars."

"It sometimes doesn't stay closed. Also, the rotating handle actually bugs me a little bit. I would go for one without a rotating handle if I were to do it all over again."

"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."

"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."
