Perfect question sorry I have no answer. But I'm watching the responses.I think I'm gonna make the felco 2 my first purchase for pruners. But maybe someone will post on here and change my mind. I'm new to roses but the felco seems to be the favorite.

I have Felco 2 and 6. I like 2 better because of the longer blade.

I also have the Felco 21 Lopper and 611 saw (I use this saw a lot).

Yes. Get a good set of Felco's if you can afford it.

Also, last year Costco's was selling a package of imitation Felco's that even came with replacement blades, hardware and a sharpener. The quality was good for the price, so see if they carry them again this spring.
