FELCO Model 903 Sharpener (Diamond Steel), Grey

Product Information

Many of the “copy-cat” versions of this pruner are only available for right-handed users. Felco clearly wants to own the market for quality hand pruners. The pruner is advertised to cut almost an inch (0.98-inch). I made ¾-inch cuts in really hard mesquite wood. I easily cut softer woods up to an inch in diameter. The stone’s exceptional strength and life span means you will always have a reliable sharpener on hand wherever you work

Underneath is a ceramic sharpener for scissors. This is also the sharpener to use for honing an already sharp knife, pair of shears or pruner. Other pruning shears have not offered the same comfort level. A fixed bottom handle versus a rotating one isn’t bad—it just depends on the number of pruning cuts one makes in a day, week, or year. For a professional who makes a living by pruning, the rotating handle is a game-changer. The curved edge of the FELCO 903 makes it ideal for sharpening and honing curved blades on tools like secateurs. But it can also work on straight blades. The 10.4cm handle is comfortable to hold and keeps your hand safely away from sharp edges. What I like about it: A versatile sharpener will have different sharpening surfaces to handle different types of blade angles, curves and shapes. It can have a flat sharpener for sharpening flat and curved blades, sharpening slots for double bevelled knives and angled sharpeners for single bevel blades on scissors and shears.Now consider performing that kind of work for fifty hours a week and the toll it takes on the tool! My trusty Felco tool has literally been at my side, along for the whole ride. Seriously, I feel like I’m a cowboy putting away my six-shooter when I holster my pruners. Felco Diamond Steel Tool Sharpener - Harrod Horticultural Things To Know Before You Get This Imagine my surprise when I saw a coworker using his F-2s as a hammer, banging in the tension pin on a grass rake! My look of concern was met with a shrug, and I tentatively began using my own pair as a light-duty hammer too. I’ve used my pair of pruners in such a way that it voids any potential warranty: driving bamboo stakes into the ground, pins into place (like the ones on a grass rake), and opening plenty of beer bottles (it took me a while to figure that one out). The Facts About 5 Favorites: Pruners - Gardenista Uncovered In our tests this pair sliced through ¼-inch raspberry canes easily without ratcheting, and it ratcheted through ½-inch dowels and ¾-inch branches with no fuss and little force, but it could barely cut two out of 10 scallion samples. Ultimately, we think the flaws in the construction—riveted connections, plus an anvil-style blade that mashes green stems—overshadow the advantages of the ratcheting mechanism.The Gardener’s Friend Ratchet Hand Pruners were the easiest-cutting ratcheting pruners we tested—and the second most expensive. Measuring 10.6cm long (without the handle), the sharpening stone is perfect for small tools like secateurs and fish hooks as well as larger tools like a camping axe or hatchet.

The Quantum also cut the ⅜-inch Norway Maple branch unevenly and tore bark. Tip: Keep some mineral oil around and apply a bit to the edge of gardening tools after sharpening. This prevents rusting. Some garden tool sharpeners come with oil that you can apply on both the sharpener and your tools to keep out corrosion. When I tested the Corona RP 3230 on berry canes, I could not get it to cut ¼-inch canes without engaging the ratchet—and in the time it took to make three ratchets, the canes were well mashed by being held under pressure against the anvil blade.The Flexrake LRB205 Ratchet Anvil Pruner did a mediocre job of cutting scallions, tearing four out of 10, and it could not cut through raspberry canes without engaging the ratchet.
