Felco No. 12 Garden shears rolling handle

For a good 40 years now, Felco secateurs have been used in professional gardening circles and are renowned for their cutting qualities and sound workmanship. Rotating-handle secateurs make gardening a lot easier. The lower handle which lies on the fingers during cutting - rolls with the hand as it opens and closes. This means that there is less friction on the skin (and less risk of blisters) and that about 30% less strength is required, which is particularly useful when the secateurs are in constant use. It does, however, take a little time to get used to the moving handle.

For the selection of the right garden shears is first to answer the question, what should be cut. Our scissors differ in material, size, weight and equipment, so that each has a specific area of responsibility. Basically, we distinguish between two types of scissors: In bypass shears, two blades slide past each other, leaving a clean, smooth interface; in anvil shears, on the other hand, a sharp blade meets the stationary anvil. Bypass shears are particularly suitable for precise cuts requiring little force on thinner pruning material - such as roses, shrubs or perennials - while anvil shears can be used to make powerful cuts on stronger branches; they are thus particularly suitable for pruning woody plants. In our range you will then find, for example, specialists for topiary or thinning, for a particularly hand-friendly operation or an extra strong cut for particularly thick branches.
