A lady on a gardening Facebook page wanted help picking some Felco pruners. I just sent her this link. Thank you!
So helpful, especially the way the editor put the pop up windows beside you as you explained each class of pruners...all I want for Christmas is a Felco! Or two!
My thoughts exactly!
This video is so well done. The pop up windows are invaluable for me to learn!!!
I bought and used mine for the first this year. I get carried away sometimes because they work so well.
Being left handed it's always nice seeing companies that make products fore lefties. Thanks for the info.
My daighter is left handed. Any general across the board parent advice?
@@melanierust7129 I'm not a parent (except to furry 4 legged cats), but I do almost everything right handed, except write and fine motor skills (Like picking up small things).
@@pepperspot805 I'm ambidextrous except writing. I throw left handed and am excited I can share a ball glove with her. I get how exciting the left handed felcos are! I have carpaltunnel so having a left option is awesome!
I am a lefty have the F9s. Because of the ergonomic handle design (which is very comfortable) the left handed model puts the thumb lock on the side where you can reach it with your left thumb.
Yes! I'm left handed as well! I've learned to do a lot of things with my right hand but somethings are still difficult.
I just placed an order with greater confidence because of your explanation. I have small hands with painful nodules that the doc treats and I massage, stretch and wear gloves and dip in hot wax baths at home just to keep the muscles long and working well. No surgery for this inherited condition. I nearly jumped into my computer to grab that articulating pruner but bought a pair instead. Grabbed a pair of the long nosed snips for flowers, some spray lubricant, a holster holder and was thrilled to see replacement parts are available as are sharpeners, etc. Best of all, THANK YOU FOR THE DISCOUNT CODE! You saved me more than $20! So glad I made a "Thanks" donation to you earlier today!
Just the other day I was looking at Felco when asked for gift suggestions. Very hard to determine online what size or style would be most appropriate. Thanks so much for making this video.
I love the pair that holds on to the rose bush branch! Those would be so helpful😁 I just might buy myself a Christmas gift 💝
This summer I purchased my first Felco 2. My family laughed when I chant in my deepest voice...."I Have Felco's, I Have Felco's". I love them and since I am a novice gardener it makes me feel official in the gardeners sorority.
FANTASTIC video and much needed. Gardening (and life) is so much easier with the right tools. And if you're a gardener, you will use your Felcos every single day. Thanks, Laura.
As a fellow nursery 'person' it's only when you discuss Felco that we part ways. I am personally a Corona man.
Outside of that, your sage advice and your genuine nature won me over from video #1.
Keep up the good work and good luck with your impending arrival.
Thanks for the smiles.
That what Joe Lamp'l uses!
They are compatible. I guess it is what you are used to. Unless you have both, it would not be fair to compare.
Oftheyide, what do you recommend for cutting back perennial plants?
@@rubyoro0 He said he uses Corona
@@mariafolch8067 Should I buy all the Corona tools?
I live in an apt and disabled and I don't have a garden BUT I love watching your videos SO much that I had to watch!!!😊 You did such a great job explaining and even made it interesting. 🤣
That one with the rotating handle is BRILLIANT! Thanks Laura!
I needed this video. I have arthritis and have been just buying a new cheap pair of pruners from the box stores. I'll be going to the felco website today. Thank you for this video
This was really informative Laura. You are a great inspiration to me
Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 to the 🌍 world. You really make me believe that anything is possible so I hope my CZcams channel grows. Your channel is amazing.. I'm a young farmlady from Africa...
Success dear... All the best
Very brave of you... I'm a new fan
I just checked you out. It's amazing how much effort you put into your work farmlady. Go girl
The Farmlady is very beautiful. Your smile is contagious.. Now I have another fav. You deserve all the support you can get dear.. Keep it up
I’ve had my felco 8 for over 30 years and they are my penultimate tool 🤍
I have always used F2 and went to F14 this season. If I'm doing a lot in the garden I use my F2, if I'm tired I go to my F14. I need to check out the F13 for sure so I am not carrying a loper. I wish they had a way to carry the tool without having to wear pants with belt loops. Not all of use wear those pants in the garden. Happy Birthday to me! I just ordered the F13!!!!!
So informative! Thanks!
And love Russell photobombing the video at the end!❤️
Awesome video! I've owned a blueberry farm for 4 years now and sure wish I would have been able to watch this when I started. Pruning is all winter long and the right tools make a huge difference. If Felco is not paying you well, they should be. Thanks!
Nice that you are giving a gift to your followers. We enjoy your videos & really learn so much from you guys. Your GardenAnswers are so important for our learning what to do & which plants we might have success growing in our zone. Thank you Laura & Aaron.
My fiancé is an arborist and his school actually made them buy felco 2s as part of the classes! I use them now and love them!
Thank you Laura. I bought my first felco after your previous video and who knew what a difference it makes. You’re correct, it truly is an extension of my hand. Love them
Extremely helpful Laura, I had no idea which to buy before!!
We were living in Germany and I went to a garden center and there was what had to be Felcos under a different brand and they were a fraction of the cost. US always pays more. Also, the public works personnel in our town would use electric pruners from a battery in a back pack. This made sense because they do a lot of pollarding of small trees. I would also suggest that at some point in your life that right after Thanksgiving you should go to Germany and experience the Christmas markets. Vienna is great also. If it wasn't for Covid we would probably be there now visiting.
Hi Laura, nice demonstration, a lot of greetings from Serbia !
As a hairdresser having the right pair of scissors is so important so I know what your talking about. I think that spring action is the the best ! Love your videos, I have learned so much.
Need a felco. Tired of pinching my hand with what I am using on anything larger than a twig thanks for the info. Also left handed.
Watching you use Felco prompted me to buy the F6 last year. Love them. This video reminds me to check back on your cleaning the Felcos video which I'll be doing after the Christmas decor comes down! Thanks for doing these because I learn by watching!
I treated myself to a pair of high end pruners this year. I LOVE them. Nothing like the perfect tool.
Thank you for opening my eyes to the cut & hold option!! Mind blown! I might ask for those for Christmas
I use the 310 for floral arranging and love them! I use them too for lighter garden jobs like herbs and roses, etc. I've never thrown them or my 2's away either because I can always find that red handle in a pile !! Now I have my eye on the C& H !! I would love to have the loppers too! You just can't beat the strength and sharpness of these tools. Thank you Laura for introducing them to me years ago! I'm always thankful to have them ❤ 🌹 🌿
I absolutely love mine too! Flowers, herbs and harvesting veggies too! It's surprising how much they are able to tackle for such a light tool. On that note, I attached a thin wrist leash to mine, very handy. I often drop them just to swing on my wrist when I need both hands for something, and then they just swing back in my hand when I need them to cut. The bonus of them being super lightweight.
Laura, this was SO helpful to actually know measurements of the size hand Felcos are made for. I have several different Felcos and the is most comfortable in my hand that is about 6 1/4" from the tip of my middle finger down. I just ordered the a pair of 14's to use as snips as a result of this video. THANK YOU!
Morning Laura,
So informative, thank you!
I’ve put it on my Christmas wish list for F2. I have small hands, now I’ll have to go back and change the style and size.
I also had to chuckle when you mentioned F-16, it’s also a fighter jet name. When our three sons were younger we’d take them to Whidbey Island Navel Base to view the Air Shows. We live 45 minutes from that Navy Base. Anyhow, when we got a Beagle pup, we were all thinking of a name, our youngest exclaimed, “I know, F18” ( Hornet Jet). Well, we finally named the pup, “Prowler” Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler. It’s now a retired aircraft. I couldn’t image us calling our Pup from the back porch “Come here F-18!” ☺️
Have a great rest of your day! 💜
I’ve had my 8 for years and I love it. I’ve replaced the spring a few times and the blades more times than I can count. Best garden tool I own.
I bought my Felco 2’s about 2 years ago after watching Laura - love, love, love them. By the way I measured my hand and it is the same size as Laura’s.
Where did you find that measurement chart?? Can't find it on their site.
Good morning!! MA Walker,
Tap on Garden Answer scroll up until you see “Hand Chart + Visual Product guide” tap on that and you’ll be able to see the helpful information (underneath large pruners F13) I hope this helps, enjoy the rest of your day.
@@007Lehua Thank you!! I made the mistake of looking on their site, and they don't have a size chart anywhere -- not on the product pages, not on the FAQ page, and even worse -- THREE messages back and forth, and they don't even know what in the heck I'm talking about!! The pruners might be wonderful, and I was actually thinking about buying some, but the customer 'service' in this instance is disgraceful.
@@leapintothewild Wow! I’m so sorry and shocked that your experience was so negative. I used to work for a huge box store (before there was a Home Depot or a Lowe’s) it was Builders Emporium, and they truly pride themselves on Customer Service it was our most important job. Our CEO made that very clear from the Corporate office on down. Again, I apologize and wish there was something I could do to make this a better experience for you. I’m a true believer in treating people the way you want to be treated and there’s never an excuse for bad customer service/behavior. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your week. 🤗
Felco’s are definitely on my Christmas list this year! I was very impressed that you were keeping all those numbers straight and being able to describe them as well as you did!! Well done! It was very clear! Thx.
Ha-I too had to get a new blade after cutting wire with my Felcos! So easy to repair and fast service. I never knew about the before watching you Laura, so thank you-they are the best.
Good morning ☀️ You have a wonderful gift for sharing information that would otherwise be mundane, really enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents with us. God bless!
Yeay! I was waiting for a video like this! I was just about to purchase some new pruners and wasn't sure which model to go with, so this is perfect timing! 🥰 Thank you Laura!
Mothers Day 2019 my husband bought Felco 2s for me...and I love them! Will know how to clean and sharpen them this winter, thanks to your other Felcos video. The products you use are wonderful, & we appreciate your honesty. Now have a kangaroo pop-up bag and a Gorilla Cart. Our son-in-law is becoming quite a gardener, so this Christmas he'll receive a pair of Felcos & a pop-up kangaroo bag too. Happy another gardener in the family! (Mom & Grandmother were as well).
Nana in '40's & '60s trialed plants & seeds in Maine and wrote for gardening magazines. She had the most beautiful way of describing flowers. We are blessed to have some of their plants in our garden.
Thank you Laura and Aaron for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge! 💗
Thank you so much, Laura, for distilling this information in a way that is easy to understand!
This review came at the perfect time! The end of summer this year was the end of two pairs of my pruners and snips, within days they were both in the trash! I’ve got new ones on the top of my Christmas list! You gave me plenty of ideas to look into! I’m tired of buying cheap pairs that get thrown out in a year or two! Thanks!
Edit: I bought the F13 and the F14
Thanks to this video I was able to make the perfect choice for my first pair of Felcos. And the rotating handle is a great bonus. The pruners fit my small hand perfectly. Thanks Laura!
I have had my felco 2 pruners for ages and do love them. Really like the idea of the rose pruners!
This helped me buy the right pair for me. I did not understand the numbering system, so I'm thankful you have made a video on this subject. I cannot wait for them to arrive!
the cut and hold pruners are a great idea! i always hate clean up once i have worked on my roses but having these would make my job so easy.
I'm so glad you spoke of these tools cuz I am the one with carpal tunnel and arthritis in my hands and I would really consider buying the one that said terms cuz it might feel better and I might could do more out in my garden thank you so much for doing this video
Huge thanks for this! I have been planning to buy a professional pruner for a while, will do soon. :)
Videos like this are very helpful. It’s so hard to go online and choose from products you’ve never used, that have so many choices. I’ve searched your past videos to chose other garden tools before:)
Thank you for showing and explaining all their choices of clippers. I was looking online for one to put in my Christmas wish list and was totally overwhelmed!! This video was perfect for me to make a choice !! Love You Guys !!
Wonderful Lesson....Will buy what you recommend! Thanks Laura.
That was so helpful! My husband just bought me my first pair. We had no idea there were so many to choose from!
Thank you for the hand guide. it helps to know how to narrow it down.
This was actually very helpful to me. Makes my christmas list just a bit more specific! thank you!😊
Such an informative video I have very small hands and i didn't even know they had FELCOS to make the job easier also im so glad you posted this video today its just in time to sneak the F14 into my Christmas list 🎅 thanks laura❤
I finally took the plunge and bought Felcos when my old pruner blade got a huge chip and I couldn't find a replacement blade. No comparison. They are great!
This is so helpful!! There are so many that this video really helps narrow it down!!!!
Couldn’t be more thankful for this video :) been debating which ones to order this was an awesome run through and super informative!
It's time for me to buy some new pruners and this really helps me decide which ones to buy. Thanks Laura
Wow. So helpful! Thanks Laura, as always .
Top class review. Just the information I needed! Thank you.
I loved this video!!
I love felco and see one that I need! Thanks for this video!! 💗💗
Great video and excellent presentation - simple and with common sense. You are truly charismatic in getting across your information. Learned and rationalized a bunch....Thank you!
I absolutely love my Felcos and I could'nt imagine gardening whitout them! I have a Felco 6 and a Felco 12 and I've used them daily fore 20 years. They really are the best! I also use the leather holster to carry them around and it's very comfortable to always have them around. Sometimes, when I'm not gardening and need to clip something, I find my self grasping for them on my right hip, even if they are not there. It must look quite hilarious, but it is a kind of side effect one will have to take after getting used to being well equipped.
I do love your work Laura and Aaron - do take your time to rest and enjoy life, so that you will keep filming for many years to come! (Sorry if my english is poor - I'm from Sweden and english is not my native language.)
Thank you such good information for my coffee with Laura today. I am adding this to my Christmas list for sure!
I was just about to order a new pair. Thank you. Perfect timing. Happy Holidays.
Extremely helpful lesson as usual. I always learn something. Love being in your “class”.
Thank you for explaining them! I'll be saving this video ☺️
That helps!! I've been wanting to buy some for my flower farm. Your videos are very helpful. I think I'll order the size 6.
Thank you Laura.
Very helpful. FELCo Pruners f12 will be my Christmas present.
Hey Laura, I have the Felco 2’s after watching your videos for years and my family knows they are mom’s special pruners! However I feel I’d like to add to my tool collection. A video of you using the different pruners and how and what they could cut would be helpful. Even sitting in the sunroom and cutting twigs, branches, stems would be awesome. I have no regrets purchasing them!
This will be super handy for gift giving!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO! WE APPRECIATE YOU AND AARON SO MUCH!
Thank you for this detailed video, I've been hesitant on purchasing; Santa will now know exactly what size to delivery! Yay!
Awesome! I was planning to buy Felcos before Spring, now I can make the right choice, thank you, Laura. 👍
I LOVE MY FELCO 2. It´s the most used garden tool I´ve ever had, I wouldn´t miss it. It is stored in my gardenbucket together with a desinfectant, towel, oil, sharpener and my gardengloves which I grab every time I get gardening. And I can relate to you, thank God the handles are RED. Imagine me, crawling through the gardenbeds with a flashlight in the evening because I´ve had misplaced my beloved FELCO (silently calling it´s name). Been there, done that. I now know what to wish for this christmas: a FELCO picking snip, YEAH!
Nice decode on the Felcp mystery numbers ,I've had my 6 for many years and never regretted spending the money. Pruners are by far the most used garden tool and is worth it.I notice that my favorite good expensive tools never ever get lost where as those $ 2 ones are not seen till the snow melts
Because of you I bought a pair of Felco 2s. Thank you. I just love them.
oh, I went to buy some and couldn't believe the prices... i ended up getting Fiskers and I love them... your info is priceless, none the less
Great info! Super helpful. Thanks so much.
This is so very helpful! Wish this video would have came out before this week. I just bought my mom a F5 for Christmas last week. ☺️Hopefully that’s a good choice!
This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you Laura!
SUPER helpful, I'm now a Felco fan and a channel fan!
Love my Felcos, I have a couple of them! After using several different ones, I would highly recommend Felco products! Thank you for opening my eyes to these pruners! 🙂✂️🌹🌿
This is super helpful! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much!!! :0)
Thanks, Laura!
You're all about sharing... so appreciated🙂❤
This was very helpful !! No surprise since you are always informative. Thx
This is such a helpful video! I asked my kids for Felcos for Christmas! Can’t wait to use them, wish I’d seen this before but still excited!
I've used a pair of Fiskars for all my trimming. I will be looking at the Felco line next trip to the hardware store. Thanks Laura for the lesson on proper usages for less hand fatigue. My rose's are going to love Felco.
I don't have a nursery or hardware store that sells them in my town. I would have never known about them if it were not for Laura. You can order them off of the Felco website. They carry them on Amazon too but Laura said those are often knock off's. I just ordered a pair from Felco as a Christmas gift in November and they came in about a week. I've gotten the 2's and 310's from Felco too for myself and my daughter.
I got my first pair last week after seeing you use them. I can't wait to use them!
This is SO helpful. I am new to gardening and in the past two weeks I have spent $50-$60 for two pairs of non-felco pruners. One broke on the second use, and the other is so dull that it bends things instead of cutting them. I should’ve just invested in the felcos from the beginning and it actually would’ve saved me money. Placing my order for the F6 now. Thanks Laura!
The F6 is the most comfortable for me for general work.
I have 2 pairs of F6s and I love them, too.
Super helpful to a newbie gardener! Thanks!!
I remember voting for this video! Thanks so much for this awesome information!
Thank you for this! I’ve browsed Felco pruners online once and it was quite confusing. I find your tool videos extremely informative and helpful. Keep it up!
This was so incredibly helpful! I was looking at Felco’s website not long ago for a gift for my mother-in-law, Meme, and myself and we all need something so different. They better be paying you big bucks because this video was great! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Most helpful and detailed explanation down to the point.
This is beyond cool! I need another pruner and was dreading doing the research! Thank you 🙏
Thanks Laura great information I am going to look into these great video ❤
Love my Felco 2s. Purchased them earlier this year after watching a previous video Laura did. I find them very comfortable for my 6.5 in hand.
I bought my first Felco 6 about 5 years ago after years of trying other brands that fell apart or couldn’t keep an edge. Glad you did this video to remind me to clean mine! I have a bad habit of using the point to dig up weeds 🥴. 😊
