excellent for small hands

I have small to med hands and this pruner is the best I have ever used I think I will have to buy another for my wife so she doesnt steal mine.

Nice pruners

The Felco F-6 Small Hand Pruners are great - very sharp, efficient and smooth and not too heavy. However, watch out - they are so sharp, I cut my finger!

The gold standard for small hands. Buy It!

Ever since I got my first Felco pruner, I will not even consider buying any other brand. Not only do they work better than any other brand, they are simple to take apart and clean and replace worn parts. They are even relatively simple to sharpen, although it takes a slightly different touch than your pocket knife or chef's knife.^M

The bottom line is that they work really, really well for years, even without sharpening. Their scissors action is much better than the anvil style. This F-2 model is the most general purpose design and I use it on virtually everything.^M

I will suggest that if, like me, you have relatively small hands, the smaller F-6 model is slightly more comfortable and easier to use for most work. I have both and use the F-6 for heavy duty end of the year pruning and the F-2 throughout the summer for average pruning jobs. If you only want one of these little gems, this smaller one will do everything the larger one does, but with a bit more effort.
