Felco #6 pruner
$54.99
Designed for those with smaller hands who may prefer a smaller, lighter pruner. This is one incredibly well-made bypass pruner. If you're looking for the FELCO quality we love so much, but the FELCO 2 or FELCO 8 are just too big for you, get the FELCO 6. It's comfortable to use yet every bit as sturdy and powerful as any other of the FELCO pruners. This great tool is ideal for small pruning work such as grape vines, shrubs and young trees, it is also the first choice of many florists and perfect for miniature roses. The anvil blade is screw-mounted for easy replacement. The shorter blades facilitate closer cutting to the stem of the plant. Includes adjustment key. Packaged in attractive plastic package suitable for storage, with instructions for care and maintenance tips. Length 7 1/4 inches, Weight 7.5 ounces. Recommended cutting capacity is 0.8 inches.
