## Description

Large All Steel Pruning Shear. Don’t be confused by the simpler, refined profile of these pruning shears / secateurs as there is nothing basic about this tool. The FELCO 5’s heavy duty steel handles deliver all the necessary power when a precise cut is a key requirement, while the tapered cutting head gives you all the help you need to reach effectively between branches.

Review: Excellent shears -- lives up to its reputation - Quality construction, up for the job, comfortable -- does not cause me to overuse my hand strength. I am so happy that I read the reviews from seasoned gardeners/landscapers and opted for the Felco 2 instead of a cheaper brand on black Friday. It is so important to purchase products that deliver value. For me, value goes beyond the price tag. I look forward to enjoying many years of use with my Felco pruning shears.
Review: The Only Choice for Professionals and Life-Long Gardeners - A garden-loving friend had been exceptionally kind helping me out after an injury, and I needed a really good present to express my appreciation, something that might last longer than a huge box of extra-expensive chocolates, and ideally, of course, a gift that might inspire happy thoughts when used in a fond pursuit. There's no pretending Felco Pruners are inexpensive. There are dozens on the market at a small fraction of the price, but you'd be lucky if they lasted an entire season. Felco's are one of those increasingly rare items crafted to last a lifetime. The carbon steal blade can be removed for a serious sharpening. Or if they happened to be left out in the wet too long (or if you just can't be bothered & want super-sharp fast), replacement blades are readily available at a reasonable cost, as indeed are all the moving parts like the spring and the catch. These are the hand-pruners of choice for both professional landscapers and dedicated home gardeners who know that a tad of thoughtful care will pay off in a lifetime's enjoyment. I recommend also treating yourself to one of the two models of leather holster to keep them readily within reach on your belt every time you venture into the garden. For my friend, I chose the F-6, which is better scaled for smaller hands, and is an excellent all-around tool for everything from gathering bouquets to pruning roses and medium-sized shrubs. Felco makes a dozen or so variations designed larger or stronger hands and a variety of applications. Myself I own two pair: the first was a bonus on my first professional garden job over a quarter century ago, the classic Felco F-2 , and they are still the ones I reach for first. A dozen years ago, I treated myself to the larger, longer-gripped Felco F-13's , which are the only thing for pruning thicker branches in quarters too tight for the usual long-handled loppers or trimmers. Chose carefully, as you would for any friendship you expect to last a lifetime. Incidentally, if I find yourself in the kitchen and needing to cut apart some variety of fowl or game bird, a quick wash with hot water and dish soap allows the Felco's to make quick work the job. Myself, I send them through the dishwasher after use, just on general principles. Then afterwards I treat my shiny-clean clippers to a dab of 3-in-1 (or any sort of mineral oil--including baby (!)--works fine, even olive oil in a pinch) on the blade and any moving parts, and wipe down thoroughly with a soft cloth. Good as new!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are these shears Bypass or anvil?**
A: Bypass. But they are the best shears out there. The kind that last for years, versus the cheaper ones.

**Q: Are these really F5? As it says it has a revolving handle but F5s don’t have a revolving handle.**
A: Yes, this product is the F5, but you are correct they do NOT have a rotating handle. I don't know why this would have such a description. 

Thanks,
Farber Bag & Supply Co.

**Q: These shears are not automatically opening. I have to open them manually  after each cut. Assume it’s a spring issue.  A lot of $ for something that’s**
A: Hi, try cleaning and lubricating the spring. Sometimes a build up of dirt etc can stop them from opening.

**Q: What size does this pruner manange to cut?**
A: This pruner can cut up to an inch diameter stems depending on user strength and technique. Flexing larger stems and branches a bit at point of cut and away from cutting edge makes these larger cuts easier with out causing tissue damage.
