The secateur most pros learn on, and plenty never put down. Forged aluminium handles, a hardened steel blade and a riveted anvil blade make the Felco 2 the benchmark for a reason: it cuts clean, takes a beating, and every part can be replaced.

Micro-adjustment on the cutting head keeps the blades set right, and cushioned shock absorbers take the jolt out of each cut. Made in Switzerland, and in production since 1945.

Medium hands? Try the Felco 6. Want the head angled to your wrist? The Felco 8. Long days? The Felco 7 rotating handle. Keep them cutting with the Felco 902 sharpening stone and Felco 910 leather holster.
