F322 Pruning Snips – 9.84" Garden Clippers with Curved Blade & Rounded Tip | Pruning Shears for Gardening | Garden Snips and Pruners with Carbon Steel Blade, Sap Groove

If you're reading this, then you probably already know what it's like to hold and use a high quality tool. It can make all the difference between just getting a job done, and enjoying doing the job. The Felcom F322 Pruning Snips are that kind of high quality gardening tool. These snips fit my hand perfectly, are easy to use, seem to stay sharp, and after a season of use they still look and work like they are brand new. I love that the end of the cutting blades are just slightly rounded, so you don't feel like you're in danger of jabbing something while using them. High quality materials that are superbly crafted, these snips should last for a long long time. Recommended.

These are my favorite gardening snips. The size fits well in my hand, and they spring back just as they should. They cut clean and work well on pretty thick and woody stems. I like the longer blade and that can lock them closed.

After using the same snips that had been gifted to me about 20 years ago, this year I finally decided to get a new pair. Felco came highly recommended by friends who are also accomplished gardeners, so I took their advice and bought them. The first thing I noticed is how well they fit my hands, and how little effort it took to to use them. They are lightweight and very sharp, which makes them excellent for cutting roses. Due to their streamlined design they’re useful for clipping the stems inside of plants with compact growing habits, and great for deadheading spent blooms. This is a quality tool that I expect will last a long time with proper care, and well worth the price.

These snips are super sharp and super easy to use. The only drawback is that the black rubber safety ring that keeps the snips closed when not in use can fall off, which is how I lost mine. I submitted a question to Customer Service to ask if it were possible to obtain just the ring, and they called me the next day and said they didn't sell it separately but they would send me one as a courtesy. I am so impressed by this level of customer service. Thank you!!

They prune very well, and can get into places easily, while being inexpensive. Of course, use them for what they are intended for, and you will be very happy with them.

If you own Felco pruning shears, like the F-2 model, you know Felco pruners are the gold standard — top quality throughout, with easily replaceable parts, they can last a lifetime. These Felco-branded Model 322 snips are a different animal. The blades are chrome-plated steel; if the plating wears off, you’ll begin to get corrosion on the blades. I don’t see that as a huge issue — if you use a ‘rust eraser’ and keep the blades lightly oiled, they should be fine. If that troubles you, the Model 310 has stainless steel blades. Unlike the Model 310 snips, which has blades held together with a replaceable not and bolt, the blades of the 322 are riveted together. If the rivet works loose, your snips are toast. But the Model 322 has robust and comfortable steel handles; while the 310 has rather cheap-feeling plastic ones. Finally, the Model 310 is made in Italy; the 322 — originally produced in Japan — is now made in Taiwan (not in Communist China). All told, the 322 is not traditional Felco quality. On the other hand, for their intended purpose — light duty trimming and harvesting of flowers, fruits and vegetables — they’re more than adequate and on par with the best on the market. I’ve docked them one star because they can’t be repaired with replacement parts and the chrome-plated blades, which cannot be replaced, will eventually lose their plating and corrode with frequent use. As light duty snips, these are more than acceptable for their intended use. But they just can’t compare with the quality and durability of the more expensive Felco line of bypass pruning shears.

One of the best trimmers I've ever used I'd prefer a pointed version but the ease of trimming is amazing!

I have a commercial greenhouse. Reliable tools are a must. The needs vary in the greenhouse but the majority of the work for pruning is harvesting. After buying many throwaways from the big box stores I decided to invest in some name brand cutters. I bought several pruners to test them. The Fuskers 9921 This one is small. When I say small , I’m not kidding. The whole thing fits in the palm of my hand. Having said that, it defiantly has it’s uses. We trim a lot of suckers and leaves from the plants. A lot of the work is close to the flowers and terminal buds to the small size is a plus. I also like the ambidextrous blade lock. The needle nose is good and bad. They are good for that TINY snip but stab the plant and your fingers if you are not careful. Also don’t even think of using these to cut anything remotely large or heavy or woody. My wife broke one of the blades off the one I bought (not the plastic handle; the blade broke in two where the pin holds the 2 blades together) and she is tiny too. However I will probably be buying a replacement because they fit my wife's hand so well. Felco F-2 This one is big. Very well made tool; pricy too. No complaints for what it is. Use it for heavier tasks of pruning branches and stems. The F-2 is all metal except for the grip cover and the blade is replaceable or can be sharpened and adjusted. We found it too big for most of the work we do in the greenhouse. The curved blade that is great for cutting branches is a bit problematic. It is too heavy for harvesting. Felco 310 This one is just about right. I traded in my Felco F-2 to give this a try. First off these is a significant difference between the F-2s and these. The F-2 is all metal except for the grip cover and this one is the handles are plastic and the other parts are made from flat sheet metal. The blade is not adjustable but they could be taken apart and sharpened. It is noticeably cheaper built, however it is less than 1/3 the price. I was surprised for its size that the handles open so wide. But it allows for the blade to open wider if you need it. It takes some getting used to. I love the rounded nose of the blades. No more stabbing the plants or my fingers or my rear when it put them in my back pocket. The lock is simple built metal attached to metal. The stops for the spring loaded handle opening are metal on plastic though. So far they so no sign of wear or weakening where the blade strikes the plastic. Perhaps that’s why they open so far, so you are not constantly banging the stop. They are sharp as you expect for any new tool. I will be buying a few more of these.

Superb quality and super sharp

J adore ce produit j en veux d autre

Nicely priced budget basic scissors. Super sharp. Perfect for light-weight trimming.

Pleased with this item, very sharp and strong, been using them fot a few weeks now with no complaints.

I bought these for me, when I am cutting flowers in the garden, and my wife to use when trimming the stems down for putting the flowers into a vase. These are NOT heavy duty secateurs, like the Felco Model 7, which I have for general pruning etc, so please don't think of them as that, although I do cut the fuchsias back with then but obviously not thick woody stems. They are lightweight and have just plastic handles as opposed the the silicone handles on the secateurs. They are still a good quality Felco product though and it also has an easy to operate 'blade lock' to make sure the jaws aren't open when not in use and they are very comfortable in use. If you use them for the work they are intended for you definitely won't be disappointed.
