FELCO 2 Classic Model One-Hand Pruning Shear is the considered the best pruner on the market, cutting cleanly season after season. Swiss-made with forged aluminum handles and a hardened steel blade, it’s built for repeat work and designed to be serviced with replaceable parts. The bypass cutting head handles branches up to about 1 inch in diameter, and the sap groove helps keep cuts moving when you’re working in sticky shrubs. These are easily our favorite pruners because they feel steady and predictable, and are easy to keep tuned.
The micro-metric adjustment lets you dial in blade alignment for crisp cuts, which helps reduce tearing when you’re pruning live growth. Cushioned shock absorbers soften the close, and the locking mechanism makes it safer to holster or pocket between plants. Use it on green wood, perennials, and woody stems where a clean bypass cut supports better recovery.

Product Tips
- Use for live stems and young branches; bypass pruners are meant for clean cuts, not deadwood crunching.
- Cut just above a bud or branch collar and avoid twisting mid-cut to protect the edge.
- If sap builds up, wipe the blade and sap groove after the job to keep the action smooth.
- Fine-tune the cutting head with the adjustment system if cuts start to feel pinched or uneven.
- Oil the pivot lightly and check the lock so it snaps shut securely before storage.
