Which Felco pruner do you like?

17 years ago

I've decided that I'd like a nice pair of Felco pruners for my Mother's Day gift. My husband has suggested to just let him know exactly what I want and he'll take care of the rest. I had no idea there were so many different types of Felco pruners!!! Other than the fact that the price ranges fairly significantly, do any of you have input on what makes one model better than another? How do you decide which is the right one for you?

OK, I have Felco #6 (for smaller hands), I got this because that's all they had when I wanted to get them-I finally treated myself to nice pruners, now I just hope I can keep track of them! I also bought a small Barnel pruner, the larger ones look very similar to the Felcos, I like it so far...

Does anyone have problems with them rusting? I don't tend to take very good care of my tools, so I've been sticking to the cheaper Fiskars and they work pretty well for me.
