FELCO Model 2 Secateurs (Large)

Product Information

Plants that flower during summer months should be pruned during the winter or early spring before new growth begins. Flower buds develop on the new year’s growth, so it is important not to prune new growth before flowering." Some summer-flowering shrubs include hydrangea, glossy abelia, rose-of-Sharon, and roses. The best pruners have aluminum handles, usually with a coating of a rubbery cushioned material to provide better grip and cut down on hand fatigue. However, less costly pruners, as well as gardening snips, often have plastic handles. These lightweight, compact garden snips are perfect for deadheading flowers, lightly pruning unruly annuals and perennials, removing twigs, or clipping away unwanted greenery. They are also useful around the vegetable garden, for pruning houseplants, or even for shaping bonsai. The snips have stainless-steel, precision-ground blades that are very sharp and make clean cuts without leaving stems ragged or torn. The handles are plastic with a rubbery grip and are comfortable in your hand. A few customers did complain that the spring has too much force, however, and so requires more pressure to close the snips than they would like. The most important part of any bypass secateurs is the blade. Precise cutting, sharp blades will cut cleanly through stems and branches which reduces the chance of disease and infection spreading into the the pruned cut. Less effort will also be needed as a super sharp blade should the like cutting through cucumber on a chopping board.

Depending on the brand and the model, you’ll find pruners with fairly straight blades, and pruners with blades that are at an angle. Anvil pruners usually have straight blades, but bypass pruners that are designed for a more comfortable, ergonomic grip often have somewhat angled blades, which reduces hand fatigue and effort. We offer a huge selection of Felco Pruning Shears. Choose the No.2 or as we call it - "the ultimate all rounder" or consider the No.6 which has been perfectly designed for the smaller hand. We have pairs for the left handed user too.

Anvil secateurs are used for cutting tough, old, dead wood.

These pruners have a pulley mechanism that greatly reduces the amount of force you need to exert to cut through branches, making them a good choice if you have a weak grip or painful hands. The maximum cut capacity is 3/4-inch so these can handle most common pruning tasks. They are a good size for the average hand but might be a bit large if your hands are very small.

For most people, any size within that range will be comfortable to use and hold. However, if your hands are particularly large, you’ll be more comfortable with a pruner at the upper end of that range or even beyond it, while those with especially small hands will prefer a pruner that’s towards the lower end of the range.
