Looking for the most comfortable handles for small hands. Anyone know?

Not so great for "small" hands....mine are medium sized and the handles have too wide a spread when open for total comfort. The rotating handle helps but try before you buy wisdom fits here.

bought these for my wife for Christmas.she absolutely loves them she likes the fact that she can get replacement blades.

The FELCO 6 Pruner is designed for those with smaller hands who may prefer a smaller, lighter pruner. It is comfortable to use yet every bit as sturdy and powerful as other FELCO models.

I bought this Felco 12 specifically because I had broken my hand and needed a rotating handle. I have several Felco's including one for lefties since I had to use that while my right hand healed. I love this pruner. In its 5 years of use I have had the rotating handle pop off leaving me with a greasy palm twice. I'm not sure why that happens, but it pops back into place. This has nothing to do with cutting branches too thick. The inconvenience doesn't bother me. This is the only pruner I can used for an extended period of time. Can't recommend it enough: Felco is the best in my book and worth every penny. I bought this Felco 12 specifically because I had broken my hand and needed a rotating handle.

These pruners are very good and have been sharp and comfortable for over 20 years. I'm on my second generation of Felco F-12 classics and use them for gardening and ikebana. Because they are powerful and well made they are great for small hands.

This is definitely the best. The regular Felco is way too big for small hands. The 12 is really comfortable to use.

Yes, the handles are adjustable. They go from 32.25"-36.5". I'm 5', 5", and hardly have them adjusted. If you look at the pictures there's a three sided knob that you turn to adjust them. Hope this helps-let me know if you have any other questions :)

i would prefer a long handle, but am sure that is a personal choice. i have a friend who is an excellent cook and does everything with a teaspoon!

Yes, the handles are on pretty strong and are comfortable. As long as you dont plan on swinging it around with full force, you should be good.

Kinda a preference thing on the handles but I always prefer one long handle , the dual loop handles get hot really quick , as far as size I always opt for the extra 2 inches , always better to have the option to cook more food if necessary.

The handles are adjustable. We actually purchased this for our son when he was 4.5.

I haven't been bothered by the handle length.My first one so I just accepted it and got to like it.The slippery handle was a problem.Someone on line suggested wrapping a couple of rubber bands around handle.Worked great.In fact the resulting wider grip is also a plus for me.

Hello! Amazonhappy....The Swiss do an excellent job in designing for utility. Unless you have extremely large hands (basketball player?), you will probably find these pruners comfortable for even an extended session of pruning in your garden. I have just compared the handles on my Felco F-6 Classic pruners and my Felco F-2 Classic Pruners...and the handles are the same. The only difference is in the weight of the pruner itself. The F-6 is for lighter pruning, roses, vines, shaping shrubs whereas the F-2 is for larger canes and branches before getting to required "lopper" dimensions. Since I respect my pruners...if I get to a cane or branch too large, I use the F-2 pruner and when I get to the "lopper" sized branch...I stop and get one of my loppers...and I've benefited from that habit, as my pruners continue to serve me well after all these years. [There's an old Chinese Proverb: IF YOU WOULD BE HAPPY ALL YOUR LIFE, PLANT A GARDEN."] Happy Gardening!! "P.S. I love you "name"...I too, am very happy with the retailing miracle of Amazon!!!

The B100 is about 1.5 inches at its maximum. I don't have either of the other two to measure. I have a average hands for a male and it's very comfortable.

The handles ultimately sold me on the Cooks Standard. I went to the store and picked up a bunch of different brand ss cookware and the handle design similar to the Cooks were the most comfortable. I also really like the look of the them and like the pans included in the 12 piece set. You won't be disappointed!

They r a lil big & bulky , so i would try to find something smaller. Dont think they would be comfortable for 4yr fingers.

No, they will not fit a small hand. I have a medium-sized hand and they were too large to be useful.

I find that the knurling on the handles is actually very good. It's much rougher than the knurling on my barbell, which surprised me. A couple of reviewers actually said it was too rough. Overall, feeling like my grip was slipping has never been an issue.

It was comfortable for my 5' 10" daughter in law (she's the tallest in our family). It would not be hard to add an extension if you needed it, either! I honestly don't remember exactly how long the handle was, sorry!

I have the charcoal grey and the handles are not really handles but like an indention in the sides where you can get a grip with your fingers. The box is heavy and I wouldn't want to carry it far as you don't have a good comfortable hold on it.

I ordered mine from Amazon, they had quite a few to select from. I chose a full sized one to fit my hand as I use a desk-top computer and needed something comfortable to use for lengthy time periods. Hope I was helpful to you. Good luck! Lisa Wood

The handles were fine on this one, but we did return it because the total unit was too low and short for my wife. Return was totally easy, though, and everyone's comfort fit is different. We bought a blue one with the basket instead of the bag thing. Good luck = we found folks very helpful on getting it right.
