FELCO Model 2 Secateurs (Large)

Product Information

The F2 has a steel blade for durability and aluminum handles for lightness of weight. We loved the ergonomic design, as well as the red, rubbery covers that provide a secure grip while adding a cushioning feel—no hand pain here even after a lengthy session in the garden. The pruners have a steel nut and bolt that allow for tiny adjustments of the blades to secure the exact angle that works best for you. There's even a small groove on the edge of the pruners for snipping landscaping wire or similar materials so you don't damage the blade with such activities. The Essential range has been manufactured with Felco's core brand values in mind but on a budget. The Essential secateurs offer the user comfort, lightweight and exceptional cutting performance without breaking the bank. Rugged and extreme reliability – due to the forged aluminium handles and hardened steel construction - ensures you can approach any pruning job with confidence The non slip, red coated handles make these garden secateurs easy to find in sunny conditions (if your forgetful like me). They are comfortable in the hand and feel well balanced.

What will strike you with these secateurs is the quality of the blade. Made from the same steel used for Samurai swords the 103 effortlessly cuts through anything up to 25mm in diameter in its stride. Comfortable light sturdy handles made of forged aluminium with a lifetime guarantee, cutting blade and riveted anvil blade made of high quality hardened steel, clean precise cut, all parts can be replaced.

Brian Feldman, Sr. Director of Technical Operations at TruGreen, says the most important thing to consider when choosing a pruner is the type of plant material it will be used on. “Hand pruners with bypass, scissor-like cutting action are best used on live plants with small twigs, stems, flowers, and shoots. Anvil-type pruning shears are popular for trimming off dead twigs, branches, and limbs. These shears chop rather than cut. If you are cutting large branches, then lopping shears, not pruners, are the right choice.” Enjoy comfortable and safe pruning with the ergonomic cushioned, non-slip, phthalate-free handle grips* Plants that flower in the spring generally should be pruned immediately after flowering, unless the plant is diseased or damaged. Flower buds on spring-flowering plants develop on the previous year’s growth. Therefore, pruning before flowering would remove considerable amounts of flower buds, sacrificing flower display." Some examples of spring-flowering plants include rhododendron, flowering cherry, dogwood, forsythia, magnolia, spirea, and viburnum.Felco Secateurs are known across the globe for being the absolute best choice for everyone from the budding gardener to the green fingered Felco fanatic.

If you value sustainability as much as we do, you’ll want to keep your FELCO tool in premium condition and minimise waste by using a tool where all parts - from the blade and spring to the smallest screw, all are replaceable Bypass secateurs are for cutting living, green growth, for example live stems, branches and plant material . Anvil secateurs are used for cutting tough, old, dead wood.

You can truly feel the quality with the smooth tight action and superb cutting power, combined to offer you an unparalleled level of precision. The easy to use design always provides a clean cut which encourages the efficient healing of the wood. Take proper care of your pruners, which means cleaning them after use, sharpening them as needed, only cutting greenery that’s within the tool’s capacity, and storing them away from excessive moisture and heat, and a good pair of pruners can last for decades. Being hardened steel they keep a sharp edge for longer between sharpening’s. Handy if your not that diligent at keeping your tools sharp. These all-metal pruners have a three-stage ratcheting mechanism, which greatly reduces the force required to use them, meaning that they are ideal even for those with weak or painful hands. The handles are aluminum with a comfortable grip coating, and at 8.26 inches in length, they are a good fit for most hands. These are anvil-style pruners, so rather than the blades passing each other in a scissoring action, the moving blade chops straight down against the grooved surface of the stationary blade, which requires less hand pressure while increasing the cutting force. These sturdy pruners have a maximum cutting capacity of 1.5 inches. Depending on the brand and the model, you’ll find pruners with fairly straight blades, and pruners with blades that are at an angle. Anvil pruners usually have straight blades, but bypass pruners that are designed for a more comfortable, ergonomic grip often have somewhat angled blades, which reduces hand fatigue and effort.FELCO σε άριστη κατάσταση και να ελαχιστοποιήσετε τα απόβλητα χρησιμοποιώντας ένα εργαλείο του οποίου όλα τα μέρη, από τη λεπίδα και το ελατήριο έως και τη μικρότερη βίδα, μπορούν όλα να αντικατασταθούν Using bypass secateurs on large, dead material and you could end up damaging them. Using bypass secateurs on this plant material will also put strain n your joints and tendons. Røde håndtag understreger vores schweiziske arv, mens de fungerer som et pejlemærke, så du altid kan finde dit FELCO-værktøj i alle omgivelser The difference being on bypass secateurs is the cutting blade passes the anvil to make the cut, a bit like similar to ordinary scissors, blades passing each other.

Red handles underline our Swiss heritage while acting as a convenient beacon, so you can always find your FELCO tool in any environment While this is undeniably an investment, the years of excellent performance in your garden, as well as comfort in your hand, will make the F2 one of your favorite gardening tools. The F2 measures 8.5 inches in length, making it ideal for gardeners with medium to large hands. (If your hands are small, then the Felco F6 is your best option.) Every part of this Swiss-made tool can be replaced, so if you care for your pruners properly, they will last you for decades. This is a bypass pruner, meaning that the blades "scissor" past each other, rather than meeting directly together when clamped closed. That makes this a great tool for pruning through green stems, vines, and branches, as well as woodier branches up to 1 inch in diameter. A few plants, including cotoneaster, weigela, and Oregon grape, can be pruned any time. And broadleaf and narrowleaf evergreens can be pruned anytime the wood is not frozen."
