Monica, can you explain the small geared objects on the pivot point of the pruner such as on the felco F2. Is there some adjustable function there? If so, how does it work? If you loosen the screw that holds the center nut in place, you can then use the adjusting key that comes with the Felco pruners to loosen or tighten the center nut until the two blades are properly aligned.
Lock the center nut in position by inserting the toothed segment so the teeth mesh and lock with the center nut. Then re-tighten the locking segment screw. Over time, things shift a bit so doing this allows the optimum manual adjustment of the play between the cutting blade and anvil blade to clean, accurate cuts.

About Steel Pruner Blades. Locking Mechanism. Types of Springs. Disassembling Pruners. Our Top Recommended Pruning Shears. Choosing Pruning Shears by Brand. Helpful Videos. Type of Pruning Shears There two basic types of pruners — bypass pruners and anvil pruners.
Bypass Pruners. These are most popular. You get a clean cut from two curved blades that move past each other hence 'bypass' just like a pair of scissors. One of the blades is sharp and cuts as it moves by a thicker unsharpened blade. Anvil Pruners. These have a one straight blade that cuts as it closes onto a flat edge or 'anvil' - giving an action similar to a knife on a chopping board.
They are usually slightly bulkier than bypass pruners which can make them tricky to get into tight areas. Robert Pavlis says:. June 5, at pm. Mike Stryk says:. May 22, at am. Peach says:.
