Felco of Switzerland is probably the world’s most highly regarded manufacturer of hand pruners. If you have ever had the misfortune of using a poorly made pruner, you will really appreciate the feel and performance of the Felco line. The difference can be likened to that between grade-school paper scissors and precision surgical scissors. They are the best choice for the serious gardener.

A family-run business founded in 1945 by fitter and turner Félix Flisch, Felco applies three principles to all their products: ergonomics, interchangeability of parts and durability. These are excellent pruners, designed to cut cleanly and evenly, leaving no crushed wood that might invite pests or disease. The blades are made of top-quality steel, hardened and precision ground, and all parts, including blades, are replaceable. Available in a range of styles to cut through branches up to 3/4" in diameter, Felco pruners are made to provide many years of faithful service.
