    This is probably one of your most valuable videos to have at hand. Need to clean my pruners! Love my Felco's, at retirement, I gave myself a pair.

    Hey Laura! Perhaps a video you and Aaron could do during these colder winter days is a “top 10 best/bottom 10 worst” gardening tools type video! Would be interesting to see the various tools you enjoying working with as well as ones you don’t recommend through trial and error.

    Funny story. I am an AVID garden answer follower. Have been for many years. After watching this video I immediately got on Amazon and ordered all the things needed to clean all my pruners. I set up on our garage table and went to work. My husband came out and saw the parts to 3 pruners laying there. He asked…why are you doing that? I answered him with “because Laura said to”! (Duh 🙄) lol.
    I want so much for just part of my garden to be as beautiful as Laura’s that I’ll follow all her tips. She has taught me an immeasurable amount of gardening knowledge thru the years. Thank you, Laura! ❤

    In this age of "if it's broke, toss it out and buy a new one", it's good to is how easy it can be to clean and repair our tools!

  • @chrisrey572
    @chrisrey572 7 месяцев назад +6

    This is one of my favorite things to do the last week of January. I have probably 20 different types of pruners and I clean and sharpen all of them and "restock" my drawer for the season. When they get gunky I have a box that I set them in and grab another clean pair. It takes me about 2 months to go through all my clean tools then I clean and sharpen around June again. Most of them are over 10 years old now and they still look like new. Great vlog!

    This video is so satisfying to watch. Because of you and Aaron, I purchased a pair of Felco pruners two or three years ago. One of my best gardening purchases ever that get heavy use. I love getting back to products that last and stand the test of time and this video just proves you don’t have to throw everything away. Take care of your tools. You did such a nice job of showing us how to take care of them so yes, I’m going to do this during the icy cold cold weather we’ve been having in Oklahoma. Thanks again Laura!

I will be checking out the parts and supplies from Felco so I can have these back in shape for the spring. I use Felco 12s on a regular basis, they are for people with hand issues, but I keep these as a backup. 🌹🌸🏵🌼

    I saw a video a little while back from another gardener cleaning her pruners, one of them was a felco and I just about had a heart attack when she dumped that pruner in soapy water, scrubbed it and then called it good.... she didn't take it apart or anything and she said it wasn't necessary... I was like that is gonna rust.
    I used your last video as a reference last time I cleaned mine and it worked well, took it apart and it came out nice, not long after that I had to replace my blade due to accidently catching wire while clipping back a vine on our fence lol. I'm so glad parts are replaceable.

    I have this same Felco pruner and to be honest I just use WD-40 as I have done on my other garden pruners, loppers, etc. for years and it works great. I love Felco products but their cleaners, etc. are pricey. I would get their grease lubricant though for sure!
    FYI: The WD-40 brand has over a dozen types of lubricants, cleaners, dry-lubricants so there is a lot to choose from at half the price.
