Amazon.com Product Description:
Specifically designed for left-handed arborists, the Felco left-hand pruner features forged light metal handles, a cushion stop, a sap groove for continual non-stick operation, a wire cutting notch, and a fine blade adjustment. The light metal handles are forged for durability and pivot on tough, replaceable pins rather standard rivets. Additionally, a cushioned stop keeps the blades from opening unexpectedly or overly wide. Measuring 8-by-1/4-inches, the pruner weighs 8.7-ounces and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Left-Hand Specific Pruners:
Felco pruners are often touted as the best, so I won't spend much time commenting on the quality of the pruners in general. In deciding on a pair I discovered they offered left-handed specific ones. I debated between those and the right-handed pair for small hands because my hands are small. I opted for the left-handed pair as I know the difference it makes to have left-hand specific scissors. I really notice the difference, especially cutting branches that are big enough to be verging on being worth pulling out the loppers. My ideal pair would be left-handed for small hands, but until they have those, these are fantastic. I highly recommend them -- they're worth it.
Worth the money if you're a serious gardener:
If you're just starting off with gardening you don't need to spend the money on these. You'll do fine with a $5 pair of shears from Home Depot, and that way if you end up not doing much pruning you haven't wasted any money. However, if you're a serious gardener who does a lot of pruning you'll want a serious set of shears and these are the best. The action is smooth and tight and the blade is fantastic. I bought the F9 because I'm left-handed, but if you're like most lefties and you're already used to using regular right-handed shears, you may not see any big advantage to these.
Best hand pruners, hands down.:
These pruners will last for as long as you can stand to take care of them. They are comfortable, durable, and trustworthy to cut through anything you can get the blade around (anything organic, that is). Complete disassembly for cleaning is easy and intuitive. I've used a pair at work for years and they keep going and going, so now that I'm on to a new job, I had to buy a pair of my own! They are completely worth the money, especially if they are going to get some heavy use.
A Tool for a Lifetime.:
I don't know why, but these pruners are listed under two different descriptions but are clearly the same product. I have already reviewed them under the other description but I am happy to reiterate my support of them. This is a quality tool that can easily be re-sharpened and parts replaced. I have had mine for over ten years and am convinced that unless I lose them they will outlive me! If you are left-handed these are an essential gardening tool. I don't know of another manufacturer of left-handed pruners.
Good secetaurs:
This is an excellent tool: It cuts any branch well, it's comfortable in my hand, and I can get parts if I ever need them.
