Amazon.com Review:
These classic Felco pruners set the standard by which all others are judged. The choice of landscape professionals, nursery workers, and savvy gardeners around the globe; this exceptionally well-made tool features a design that's been unchanged for more than 50 years. The anvil blade has a deep sap groove to prevent sticking. A Swiss, precision-made cutting blade with soft wire cutter is replaceable for maximum return on investment. An easily-adjusted bolt and nut allow users to customize blade alignment for more efficient operation. A rubber cushion with shock absorbers pads blades where they come together to reduce impact and strain on wrists. Strong, light, forged-aluminum alloy handles have a red, plastic coating that's molded for comfort (and makes pruners easier to spot in the garden). A non-corroding spring mechanism is covered with a metal sheath to protect from moisture.
Ideal for trimming rose bushes and woody perennials, the Felco Original's smooth, soft action, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional durability put it in a class of its own. It's covered by a one-year warranty. However, with proper care, these pruners will last a lifetime. --Mary Park

Rating: - Perfection -- Worth Every Penny
If gardening is a true passion for you, don't think twice about the price on these pruners -- they are worth every penny. I have easily spent $40 on less-than-amazing pruners in the past year. . . as long as you clean off the Felco pruners after using (I wipe them off with a damp towel, then dry, and then I use WD-40 to prevent rust), they will last you a long time.
Rating: - Excellent choice...
I checked several web sites - including Felco - and got the same pruner here much cheaper. These pruners are top notch.....will last several years, if not decades, if you take care of them.
Rating:  - Prone to rust - otherwise good
Bought these online after seeing the amazingly positive reviews - and indeed they're powerful & precise, chopping through woody branches with ease.
Was a bit disappointed a few weeks later, though, to see the blades accumulating rust, and roughly dragging together - I wiped them off fairly well after using them, but I guess not quite thoroughly enough.
Seems like for a tool made to chop moist plant stems, a more rust-proof metal would have been a good design choice, ... Read More
Rating: - The one tool every gardener should have
I bought these as a graduation present for my daughter who has just taken up gardening. I have used my Felco's almost daily for 20 years. They are virtually indestructible and can be used everywhere in the garden.
Rating: - Nice, if you have big hands
I've had mine for a couple of years now and still like them. They've worn well even though I don't treat them very well. I'll admit that I got them in part because of the snob appeal. Every horticulturist I know has a pair of Felco's in a holster on their belt.
You may want to see these in person first, though, before buying them on Amazon. I'm 6'4" and have pretty big hands, but the F-2s seem a tad big even for me. Maybe think about getting the F-6.
