Know before you buy
The Felco F2 is specifically designed for larger hands. If you have smaller hands, you may find the grip width uncomfortable and should consider a more compact model like the Felco F6.
Yes, these are professional-grade bypass pruners capable of cutting branches up to 0.98 inches in diameter. The high-carbon steel blades are built for heavy-duty tasks and provide a clean cut on thicker stems.
The notch is located at the base of the blades and is designed to cut thin wire without damaging the main cutting edge of the blade. This prevents you from dulling the sharp part of the blade when you need to snip garden ties or light fencing.
The F2 features a toothed center-nut that allows you to make precise, incremental adjustments to the blade tension. This ensures the blades remain perfectly aligned for a clean cut as the tool wears in.
The handles are equipped with a shock-absorption system and a cushion to reduce impact on your wrist during repetitive cutting. While the tool is robust, these ergonomic features significantly decrease the physical strain compared to standard pruners.
Because the Felco F2 is a professional-grade tool, all parts are replaceable. You can sharpen the high-carbon steel blades using a diamond sharpener or replace the blade entirely once it reaches the end of its service life.
