Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

They’re sharp, durable, smooth, easy to repair, and easy to find
Cut through thicker branches easily.
Lifetime warranty
They’ve pruned through thousands of branches and stems, and only require some very basic maintenance.

What reviewers didn't like

The pruners crushed a ¼-inch dowel a tiny bit, and the handles spread a little wide for some people
More expensive.
Expensive
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.
