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.

When choosing the right secateurs, it is important to first answer the question of what you want to cut. Our shears differ in terms of material, size, weight and features, so each one has a specific task. There are basically two types of shears: With bypass shears, two blades glide past each other, leaving a clean, smooth cut; with 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 thicker branches, making them particularly suitable for pruning woody plants. In our range you will find, for example, specialists for topiary or thinning, for a particularly hand-friendly working method or an extra-strong cut for particularly thick branches.
