Pruners, Loopers, and Shears are Essential Garden Tools

A good pair of pruners,loopers,and shears should be the first tools you invest in if you're new to gardening.

Felco and Fiskars are two name brands we have used and highly recommend.

It's easy to get replacement parts and they have a lifetime guarantee.

As I get older, I can especially appreciate the Felco F-8 Classic Pruner with Comfortable Ergonomic Design are an ergonomic re-design of the original. Light alloy handles are shaped to act as an extension of the forearm. They even have them for left handed gardeners! Check out the Felco Classic Pruner for Left Handers. Great gift idea for yourself or a loved one.

These are very comfortable to use for older gardeners as well as professionals who have to use them all day. It's what my husband uses as a landscape contractor.
