OK for Felco 8 hand pruners?

I have Felco 7 & 8. They fit both. Just make sure that's your problem. Mine were't automatically opening and it turned out the screws just need adjusting.

The replacement spring worked great on my hand pruner (not Felco #8) that was given to me by the National Home Gardening Club.

I would think this would be more aggressive than you would want for trimming palm fronds. I would use a reciprocating saw with a pruning blade in it for that.

Linnea, thanks for the e-mail and the interest in the Felco loppers. Those are a bypass blade. Most Felcos are. Please let us know if you have any other questions on this or any other item in our catalog. Thanks, Mike CristA.M. Leonard, Inc.241 Fox Dr.Piqua, OH 45356mcrist@amleo.com

Any gyutou style chef knife that is 8" 210 mm or close if bigger the pin will not set it may be loose for your knife but the idea still works the wood wicks moisture away from the blade ( clean and dry knife thoroughly before putting it in the cover) do not wrap with tape or anything because the wood will buckle as it expands or contracts but it will protect the edge and help minimize carbon stains in high carbon knives

I have been wondering that myself. My understanding Fiskar Pruning Sticks are guarantee for life. I have been unable to find how to contact Fiskar.

This is definitely the best. The regular Felco is way too big for small hands. The 12 is really comfortable to use.

Yes, that was one of the main reasons I purchased this saw. I use a 8" stacked dado set with no problems in pine, poplar, and MDF.

Yes it will work. The blade isn't as good as a carbide tipped saw blade which I use for serious shrub removal.

Susan, I would also say no. This type of pruning saw is primarily for trimming landscape tree limbs or pine/spruce trees. The blade is very aggressive. Arborvitae have no "limbs" per se. The type of pole you're looking for would have a lopping blade at the end with an extended trigger or rope to snap closed when pulled. Something like Fiskars model 9240 Telescoping pruning pole (on Amazon's site) would work well.

Yes I have, its a bit cumbersome when fully extended but it dose allow me work on queen palms. My palms are getting very tall and have very big palm fronds so generally only use the blade as the pruner is now to small for my trees. This has paid for its self!

The Prunning Stik does not need a blade. The nylon cable pull will stretch or loosen just from use. It can be untied slightly and re-tightened and the blade will close properly. I would suggest a lawnmower repair service to do this. I have done it so if you're game should be no problem.

My hands are medium to small. The pruners work good for me. If my hands were any smaller more effort would be needed for me to cut. I love the pruners though and would rather work with them then use the old time pruners I have always purchased.

I went to lowes and purchased a pack of 3 9 inch porter and cable pruning blades and they work for everything. The PAC says. 4/5 TPI

Hello! R. Miller. Just looked at the 6 or 7 Felco Pruners and Swiss Made is stamped on each one. I have a Felco 310 Snipper that is still in the package (for a gift) and the printed info says "FELCO, the world-leading manufacturer of professional pruning shears and cable cutters since 1945." I've been a gardener all my life and used several good brands of pruners but I've strictly used Felco since the '60's as they make gardening easier and I know they are the best. For further info: http//www.felco.ch Happy Gardening! J.R.

If your pruner uses a 10" chain it should fit. These are all generic replacements

I wouldn't recommend it; the blade requires some type of handle to be safe to use and is longer than a typical pruning saw would be. The blade that came with mine was very dull due to poor packaging, too; and would be hard to push and pull through most tree limbs without the extra leverage the polls give you. You could likely use it as a hand pruning saw in a pinch, but I think it would be risky to do so.

It's quite small, with a very small blade. I would use something with a longer blade for pruning rose bushes.
