What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Felco F100 shears for their exceptional quality and precision. The Swiss made blades deliver consistently clean, effortless cuts through woody stems. The standout feature is the highly valued Cut N Hold mechanism, which safely secures cuttings, greatly improving efficiency and reducing scratches for rose gardeners. Reviewers consider these shears a durable, lifetime investment due to robust construction. While the superior performance justifies the premium cost for serious users, some find the initial price substantial. The F100 is celebrated as the gold standard for specialized pruning where reliability and precision are paramount.
Know before you buy
The shears feature a unique jaw system that grips the stem firmly the moment you make a cut. This allows you to prune and remove the stem in one motion, keeping your hands away from thorns.
These are specifically engineered for larger hands. If you have smaller hands, you may find the grip span uncomfortable or difficult to control during extended pruning sessions.
While they are optimized for roses and thorny plants, they function as high-quality bypass pruners. You can certainly use them for general pruning, though the 'Cut N Hold' feature is most beneficial when dealing with prickly stems.
No, the design is ambidextrous. They are equally effective and comfortable for both left-handed and right-handed gardeners.
To keep the blades sharp and clean, wipe them down after each use to remove sap and debris. Periodically sharpen the cutting edge with a whetstone and apply a light machine oil to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation.
