For decades, gardeners have trusted FELCO for pruning tools that deliver precision, durability, and comfort. Yet, for those with extensive gardens or who face physical limitations, even the best manual secateurs can lead to hand fatigue and wrist strain during long pruning sessions. The alternative has often been professional-grade electric pruners—powerful, but heavy and complex for everyday garden work. This created a gap that passionate gardeners have long wished to fill.
FELCO is closing this gap with the introduction of FELCO 2e, a new generation of electric pruning shears designed specifically for the dedicated home gardener. Drawing on our rich Swiss heritage of craftsmanship, the FELCO 2e bridges the divide between manual precision and electric power. It offers a solution that is lightweight, powerful, and remarkably safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are electric pruning shears better than manual pruners?
It depends on the task and the user. Electric shears are better for reducing fatigue during extensive pruning jobs and can cut through thick branches with less effort. Manual pruners offer excellent control for delicate work and don't require charging. The FELCO 2e bridges this gap, offering both power and precision.
What is the best electric pruner for home gardeners?
The best electric pruner for home gardeners combines lightweight handling, precise cutting, and built-in safety features. The FELCO 2e is an ideal choice because it is lightweight (1.94 lb), features a robust safety system (Cut Shield), and offers a long battery life without a cumbersome backpack.
Are electric pruning shears easier on hands and wrists?
Yes. The motor performs the cutting action, so you activate the blade with a trigger instead of repeatedly squeezing the handles. This reduces strain on the hands and wrists. It makes electric pruners a practical option for longer pruning sessions or for gardeners with reduced grip strength.
Are electric pruning shears safe to use?
Modern electric pruners include built-in safety systems to help prevent accidental activation or injury. The FELCO 2e features Cut Shield technology for added protection while maintaining precise cutting performance.
How long does a battery-powered pruner last on one charge?
Battery life depends on cutting conditions and branch thickness, but high-capacity lithium-ion batteries are designed to support extended pruning sessions. Dual-battery systems allow you to work continuously while one battery recharges. The FELCO 2e can perform up to 3,000 cuts on a single charge, which is more than enough for most extensive home gardening sessions.
Can electric pruning shears cut thick branches?
Electric pruning shears are designed for small to medium branches within their rated cutting capacity. The FELCO 2e has a cutting capacity of up to 1 inch in diameter, which is suitable for most branches on fruit trees, roses, and woody shrubs. For thicker wood, loppers or pruning saws remain the safest and most effective choice.
