Photo by Matt Suwak The next time you go to an arboretum, conservatory, or botanical garden, whispering “Felco F-2” might not save you the cost of admission. But it will certainly earn you a knowing nod and show of respect from anybody working there. You might not need all that the Felco F-2 can provide, but the Felco F-2 can provide for everything your garden needs. In our tests this pair sliced through ¼-inch raspberry canes easily without ratcheting, and it ratcheted through ½-inch dowels and ¾-inch branches with no fuss and little force, but it could barely cut two out of 10 scallion samples. Ultimately, we think the flaws in the construction—riveted connections, plus an anvil-style blade that mashes green stems—overshadow the advantages of the ratcheting mechanism.The Gardener’s Friend Ratchet Hand Pruners were the easiest-cutting ratcheting pruners we tested—and the second most expensive. It tended to crush the dowels, but it did sever them, and it made good, flat cuts in live branches.The Fiskars Quantum Hand Pruner is not made to slice scallions, and it left dangling onion bits on more than half the cuts. The Quantum also cut the ⅜-inch Norway Maple branch unevenly and tore bark. The tool’s exceptional strength and life span means you will always have a reliable sharpener to hand wherever you workNext to the ceramic sharpener is a flat tungsten carbide sharpener for tools such as shears and loppers. Imagine my surprise when I saw a coworker using his F-2s as a hammer, banging in the tension pin on a grass rake! My look of concern was met with a shrug, and I tentatively began using my own pair as a light-duty hammer too. I’ve used my pair of pruners in such a way that it voids any potential warranty: driving bamboo stakes into the ground, pins into place (like the ones on a grass rake), and opening plenty of beer bottles (it took me a while to figure that one out). The Facts About 5 Favorites: Pruners - Gardenista Uncovered During the week and between pruning jobs, I use isopropyl alcohol to clean the blade and anvil - Grow Food Guide. A little tip: If you disassemble and then reassemble your F-2 pruners, adjusting the tension on the primary connecting bolt is key to a smooth action and springy response. Photo by Matt Suwak Alright, since we’re being honest here… I have definitely voided any potential warranty that Felco offers. What Does The Best Pruning Shears Of 2020 - Make Pruning Easy Mean? Because diamond is very hard, diamond sharpeners last a long time without wearing. On the downside, they are the most expensive garden tool sharpeners.

The FELCO 903 is a multi-function stone in hardened steel with a unique diamond coating that is ideal to sharpen, deburr and harden your blades The large contoured handle provides a comfortable grip and protects your hand from sharp edges. What I like about it: Diamond sharpeners consist of a steel (or some other material) base with a thin diamond coating. Diamond sharpeners are great for restoring very dull blade as they take off a lot of material in a short time.

It is a bit pricey but the FELCO diamond steel sharpener has unmatched sharpening performance. Just a few swipes are enough to sharpen secateurs, pruning shears or knives. The Felco F-2s have proven themselves to be a pruner capable of handling a tremendous workload reliably and without any fault. Throw in some basic maintenance and sharpening practices, and you’ve got yourself a garden tool worth its weight in saffron. I didn’t tell you where I got my pruners, did I? The F-2s have a pretty hefty price tag for a hand tool, about the same as a dinner for two at your average restaurant. The 10.4cm handle is comfortable to hold and keeps your hand safely away from sharp edges. What I like about it: Many of the “copy-cat” versions of this pruner are only available for right-handed users. Felco clearly wants to own the market for quality hand pruners. The pruner is advertised to cut almost an inch (0.98-inch). I made ¾-inch cuts in really hard mesquite wood. I easily cut softer woods up to an inch in diameter.

Now consider performing that kind of work for fifty hours a week and the toll it takes on the tool! My trusty Felco tool has literally been at my side, along for the whole ride. Seriously, I feel like I’m a cowboy putting away my six-shooter when I holster my pruners. Felco Diamond Steel Tool Sharpener - Harrod Horticultural Things To Know Before You Get This When I tested the Corona RP 3230 on berry canes, I could not get it to cut ¼-inch canes without engaging the ratchet—and in the time it took to make three ratchets, the canes were well mashed by being held under pressure against the anvil blade.The Flexrake LRB205 Ratchet Anvil Pruner did a mediocre job of cutting scallions, tearing four out of 10, and it could not cut through raspberry canes without engaging the ratchet.Felco accessories are expertly designed to enhance the efficiency and longevity of their tools.
