I have several pruners Felco 2, 7, 8 and 10, Fiskars P90, Gardena few models, Bahco/Sandvik few models, Kuker, Wolf-Garten, Falken etc. The best and most universal ones are Kuker. It is third blade configuration option that is not mentioned in this video where two blades meet eachother on blade tips. Kuker is Italian brand and it is widespread in Mediterenian countries. It is not cheap, but it will serve you for a lifetime. If you are looking for cheaper options Falken and Bahco are good options. Falket makes copies of other succsessful designs with decent quality and about 40% cheaper than originals. Falkets Kuker copy is exceptional. Here in the video Bahco sheers that are presented have steel sheat handles and those models are slipery, but there are models with robust drop forged handles which are superb; like P3 model. There are also models with rubber/plastic handle covers which also provide good grip. The best budget overall I would give to Slovenian Unior pruners specially for their 544PR model. That model is clone of Felco 8 and it is top quality for fraction of original cost. Fiskars and Gardena make some great pruners, but also have bunch of bad ones. Also there are some other manufacturers that you cant go wrong with like Lowe, Due Cigni, Vesco, ARS, Corona, Castellari, Ausonia, Pellenc etc.
Thank you BRIAN for introducing Bahco. The P126-19, P126-20 and P126-22 are a great series of tools. I suggest trying out a P126-22 and a the P1 series as well with the our classic P1-20 and the larger blade No. 3 with the P1-23. Did you know that Bahco Pruning Tools is a division of Snapon? Just a note. Cheers! David
I have heard that. I’ve had good experience with other Bahco tools. My next goal is to get a pair of the Bahco P-75 edging shears. I’ll probably do a review on those if I do. Thanks for reaching out!
thank you for explaining this information. I have a bypass pruner so now I'm glad I have them. By the way, I am eyeing your pansies they compliment the container well, I like the color combination... you're giving me ideas.
I haven't tried Felcos but I love my Bahco pruners - strong and simple. I'm not a huge fan of the catch but it's better than those on many other pruners I have tried including Felco copies, many of which come loose and fail to engage.
Nice work on those shrubs👍 double holster pretty cool. Like you I would’ve chosen the bigger ones as well, but you always need Little ones for the real small stuff. Yup let’s see more of that holster👍
As a tool nerd just getting into gardening I think bahco is owned by the Stanley-blackanddecker group which also owns facom wich still makes its pliers in France, maybe bahco uses facom's plier factory? I don't see why else a Swedish company would produce its tools in France. Just a thought, if anyone knows better I'll gladly be corrected
If i get $1 every time a YT contributors/influencers confuses Switzerland with Sweden, I would have already got myself a Falco F2 😂 Sorry, I don't mean to be a dïck...i really appreciate your video. Good infos 🙏
What is a water sprout , never heard that term ? You have a lot of good knowledge and information to share on your channel, can I ask where you learned the majority of it.
So I hate to be picky but FELCO shears are made in Switzerland and not Sweden. And Bahco is a Swedish company, not French. I am not sure if the shears are made there. Also you should compare similar shears. If you want to compare a FELCO to the all steel Bahco you should compare the FELCO 5 to it. That would make the price comparison more apples to apples. Lastly the AM Leonard knock off is a Chinese fake. Way over priced for the quality.
Without even looking it up and not owning one I can still tell you bahco is made in France… maybe they’re based in Sweden. Apple is an American company but that stuff is made in China… just sayin…
Bahco was still a Swedish company not French, as far as where they are made they could be made in China. Bahco is now owned by the group that owns Snap-on.
@@norbertamberg8730 it's even weirder than that. Bahco is a swedish company owned by Snap-on, that owns a french brand, Pradines, previously owned by another swedish conglomerate called Sandvik, specializing in pruning tools with blades made from swedish steel produced by Sandvik since, from memory, after WWII, and, until recently, Bahco-Pradines(previously known as Sandvik-Pradines) subcontracted to another french company called Devillé the design and manufacturing of all pruning tools except saws which were/are made in Sweden(with some in Russia too). SNA Europe, the european branch of Snap-on managing all their euro brands portfolio, bought back the factory from Devillé and now makes the Bahco branded pruners in house. 🤯 parts are still available for more than 60 yo pruners but not all parts though(say P127 central screw) unlike for Felco . most of Bahco branded non-pruning hand tools are made in Sweden, Spain, Portugal and Argentina and all the shitty ones in China.
Wow! I am amazed at the depth of knowledge, as well as passion, for pruners displayed in the comments, not the least of which is your one! Hmm, just recalled a funny story I heard on the radio years ago. A big supermarket chain had started to become less snd less happy with their milk supplier, especially their attitude, until finally one day they sacked them. Well, it took a little while to filter through, but it turned out they’d sacked one of their own companies! Amazing! Happy pruning! 😃 .. ✌️

Found you from Linda Sue Stewart, Home & Garden. Staying because I can't wait to dive into your videos!
Glad to have you here!!

Felco is made in Switzeland not Sweden 😉. Nevertheless great tools!
Bahco Pruners are made in France but with Swedish Sanviken Steel. So you are correct. Bahco is more Swedish and Felco is Swiss.
Proof that Brian Daniels is made in USA. ;)
😉
@@deewells1965I see what you're doing 😉

Video in a few days if the weather permits!
Thank you for the pruner comparison, It was very informative.
Awesome pruning I wish I had those cutting ! Thanks for tips
Felco are Swiss made. My Felcos are still cutting since 1940s.

Gracias. Solo por ti sé cómo utilizar la pruner bypass. :)
Loud music all of a sudden was not ideal but good video
Felco is made in Switzerland not Sweden!

Thank you. I learned most from years of experience, mistakes, and gleaning knowledge from others.
Felco: Made in Swiss, not Sweden. 4:14
Made IN Swiss?
@@swayback7375 Swiss made 🙃

Felco is Swiss not swedish
Try a pruner from Löwe; made in Germany. I love mine. 😊
I’ll look that up! Thanks!
Nothing compares to Felco. It requires far less hand strength and it will last you a life time. It also allow you to replace parts as needed.
Okatsune and ARS are better.
Be prepared to be BLASTED by music @9:45 Good Lord!
Wow lower the volume with that terrible music!
4:39 not French its Swedish
felco 2 blades are not stainless steel
Pellenc, infaco, so god not mutch money
* cough * it's made in Switzerland whcih explains the price.
