Would the F6 be comfortable to use in my left hand? Is this pruner handed?

Comfortwise it feels fine in my left hand. I don't know if the slant of the cutting edge would work the same or not. Maybe ask Felco?

My wife is left handed and loves this F6. She's been doing a lot of gardening over the decades and said this is by far the best pruner she has ever used. She also tried the 2 "lefty" Felco pruners, but both we're too big - she's 5-5 with medium hands (wears medium size surgical gloves).

I only use one hand. It does require a decent grip to be able to cut for very long. I often change hands dependimg on the location I am trying to cut.

Yes, absolutely! I am left-handed and I love this knife. Used it to cut angel food cake tonight - sawed nicely through it

I am right handed sorry I can not help you with your question. The tiny scissors is great for face and feet. ! I have only had them a few days but really like them.

I feel that one designed for a specific hand is just a little more comfortable and more pleasant to use. Lefties have a difficult time with some rotary cutters. I have read some of the reviews and lefties are lovin' this left handed Gingher Rotary Cutter.That being said, you can either cut fabric from the left or right side. Simply put...decide how you will procede to cut fabric. If can't decide buy one of each. :-)

It is. I am left handed and had it set up for a left side carry. Only issue I had was the amount of movement (cant) of the weapon.

Honestly, my boyfriend uses it, but I just went and picked it up left handed and tried to 'pretend' shave and it seemed the exact same as right handed. All the buttons are in the middle, so that doesnt matter and its an hourglass shape, so it should work with either hand.

Its set up for right handed people. If you use your left I imagine it will be like anything else you use.

Pruning yes,hedging no. I use mine primarily for pruning shrubs rathure than a chain saw, which is both unwiedy and unsafe. As to the cord, I find it not to be a big problem except you must use a heavy gage(14 or 12ga, depending).

My pruning needs are limited to shrubs such as rhodys, hydrangeas and camellias. I am in a wheelchair so trees get left for my adult son to do. This tool has been a blessing for me and I can't blame it for not doing things it wasn't designed to do. As it is, it easily handles branches I used to leave for my son.

I think left-handed users will like it. I'm righty but switch hands with it - it's NOT lightweight. Not heavy either I'd say, but 20 mins. is a lot to hold it in one hand. If you look at the 3rd photo on the Amazon listing, you'll see the "model" is using the trimmer left-handed. It changes how you'll approach what you 're cutting. Look at the pic and you can imagine how holding it right-handed would change the orientation. How the string guard mounts causes this.There is an ambidextrous thumb-operated safety, and the head swivels either way. The 2nd photo shows the trimmer as an edger - left-handed too.

I am right handed but I believe the curve of the scissor handle requires left hand or right hand. I would go to the website to see if they make left handed ones to be sure.

I have, on occasion, had to use both hands. This is only when I am trying to cut through too much grass or tough weeds. I have had shears that were easier to use, but they were not as sharp and durable as these shears are.

When I first used this excellent pruner, I too had problems unlocking it (rheumatoid arthritis). I oiled it and kept trying and after few uses, find it easier to open. Love this pruner - very sharp and not too wide for my small hands.

Absolutely. It's a fine knife who's weight and handling is fit for right or lefties.
