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

Precision snips
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.

Great product
I’m a fan of Felco pruners, having owned my Felco 9s for more than 35 years, and they are still in active use. I needed a snip lighter than the pruning mode for smaller stems and bonsai, and these snips are perfect. Typical Felco quality, very sturdy and well made. Considering that my Felco #9 sells for around $65 now, to find the simple snips for $17 is a great price. I’d recommend.

Light duty snips
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.

Perfect for trimming plants and flowers
I didn’t know I needed these until using them the first time.I do a lot of yard work and have many pairs of heavy duty clippers and trimmers, but these filled the void for clipping my small plants and dead heading flowers.They make it easy to get between the stems and leaves, and the cutting action is smooth and easy.
