    Great observation, the weight! I think that’s one of their finest features. But still dependable and smooth!

      I find that because my hands are smaller some secateurs are just not right.

    They are the best, I have 2’s, 7 and now 8’s, no comparison!

      To be honest I have not used any other secateurs. Felco's are the only brand I have used. Right from when I did my garden training at school - it is what they recommended.

    I've got an original pair from 1940s, still brilliant and sharp. The newer ones have a different anvil design, I much prefer the older design.

    If you are allowed to have only one secateurs which of your two secateurs will you retain the felco f8 or felco f2?

    • @GardenersbyTrade
      @GardenersbyTrade  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My choice would be the Felco 8. Easier on the hand for long periods of use.

      @@GardenersbyTrade Mine too I think , don't own one yet. But the f2 "starterkit" with all sorts of extras seems interesting too. I'm not sure yet.

    I've just ordered a Felco 2, I'm going to use it mostly for ornamental plants, maybe some grape / fruit tree pruning. I was considering the model 9 (left handed version of 8) but there was a discount for a bundle including a Felco 2 + sharpener. I will not use it for 8 hours per day so hopefully my wrists will tolerate the classic version :) Thanks for the info !

    • @GardenersbyTrade
      @GardenersbyTrade  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That is awesome. I am sure you will be fine using the Felco 2. Pruning for a short period is definately easier. Vineyard pruning for 3 months 5 days a week is quite strenuous. Wishing you much success for your ornamental plants and fruti trees.

    they really seem basically the same, is there a real reason to get one over the other?

    • @GardenersbyTrade
      @GardenersbyTrade  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think from an ergonomic point of view there is. Every gardener has different preferences.

    Do you find one cuts better or easier?

    • @GardenersbyTrade
      @GardenersbyTrade  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Both cut the same (in my opinion). For me I started with the Felco 8. After years of pruning hundreds of roses and vines it feels natural. And I really don't know any better. Pruning vines for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week is extremely tough. I was grateful for having the Felco 8 secateurs because of the ergonomic design. However if I were to be back pruning the vines I would use powered secateurs. Purely because it is a very repetitive.

    My sharpening test is a piece of paper.

    • @GardenersbyTrade
      @GardenersbyTrade  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes paper is the perfect test for sharp blades.
