FELCO, a renowned Swiss brand, has been a leader in the pruning shear market since 1948.

This iconic red-handled pruning shear is celebrated not just for its award-winning design, but also for its performance, both by professional and amateur gardeners.

The FELCO 2 is designed to offer a smooth and effortless cutting experience, a testament to its high-quality construction. It features ergonomic handles with contoured finger grips, providing a comfortable and secure hold. The robustness of the tool is evident in its reinforced anvil blade, which is riveted directly onto a one-piece aluminium handle. This design ensures the shears are sturdy enough for heavy-duty pruning tasks.

These shears come with rubber shock absorbers to reduce wrist strain and rubber handles for additional comfort. A unique feature of the FELCO 2 is the micro-metric setting mechanism, which allows users to adjust the cutting head precisely, ensuring a clean and precise cut every time.

In terms of specifications, the FELCO 2 shears are designed for right-handed use with handles made of forged aluminium guaranteed to last a lifetime. The blades are made of hardened steel, and the shears include a wire cutting notch and a counter blade with a sap groove. They are made with 100% renewable energy in Switzerland, highlighting FELCO’s commitment to sustainability.

Moving on to the FELCO 4, this model is known for its powerful leverage, capable of cutting wood up to 25 mm thick. It is an ideal tool for those with larger hands, offering a strong and lightweight design with handles made of forged aluminium. The FELCO 4 focuses on core function, delivering reliable performance with its high-quality steel blades. Like the FELCO 2, it is also designed for right-handed use and features replaceable parts, ensuring longevity and sustainability.

Lastly, the FELCO 5, though simpler in design, offers robust and efficient performance. Its heavy-duty steel handles provide the necessary power for precise cuts. The tapered cutting head of the FELCO 5 offers easy access between branches, making it a suitable choice for users with larger hands. The FELCO 5, like its counterparts, features high-quality steel construction for both the blade and anvil blade, ensuring durability and a long-lasting sharp edge.

All FELCO models are characterized by their ergonomic, cushioned, non-slip, phthalate-free handle grips and a closing lock for safety during transport. The sap groove in these models prevents the blade from sticking, enhancing cutting efficiency, while the wire cutting notch adds to the shears’ versatility. The red handles not only signify the Swiss heritage of the brand but also make the tools easy to locate in any environment.

In summary, FELCO’s range of pruning shears, including the FELCO 2, FELCO 4, and FELCO 5, stand out for their quality, durability, and ergonomic design. Made with sustainable practices in Switzerland, these tools are a testament to FELCO’s commitment to excellence in garden tool manufacturing.
