Why buy your new electric pruning shears? will be the best investment of your year?
At a time when some professionals are wondering whether to invest in a new F3020 pruning shear, particularly in the current economic climate, here are a few key figures to help you make your purchasing decision.
INFACO pruning shears are popular on the second-hand market
All you have to do is take a few minutes to look at the offers for the F3010, F3015 or F3020 on the various websites for private individuals and you'll see that INFACO electric pruning shears have lost very little of their value over the years. They are among the tools that lose the least of their value, making them a real investment.
The prices observed (taken in September 2025, before the last pruning season 2025-2026) are as follows:
Around €500 excluding VAT for an F3010 purchased for €1,415 excluding VAT in 2014;
Approximately €750 excluding VAT for an F3015 purchased for €1,395 excluding VAT in 2018;
Around €900 excluding VAT for an F3020 bought for €1,480 excluding VAT in 2022.
Most advertisements mention that the manufacturer has carried out annual servicing. This criterion is a guarantee of resale quality, assuring the second-hand buyer that the tool has been recently checked by specialist technicians in our workshops. Other arguments (concerning the limited or intensive use of the pruning shears) are regularly put forward in advertisements, such as the number of seasons worked, the number of hectares on the farm or the number of cuts. These are all criteria that can make the price go up or down, in the same way as the mileage of a car.
