Know before you buy

Yes, the FELCO 250-57 is designed with an ambidextrous handle configuration, making it comfortable and effective for both left- and right-handed gardeners.
The chrome plating provides a protective layer that enhances the durability of the high-carbon steel blades. It helps prevent rust and corrosion while reducing friction, allowing the blades to glide through foliage more smoothly.
These shears utilize a bypass cutting mechanism, which functions like a pair of scissors. This is ideal for making clean, precise cuts on live, green wood, promoting faster healing for your plants.
To maintain performance, wipe the blades clean of sap and debris after each use. Periodically sharpen the cutting edge with a professional-grade sharpening stone and apply a light coat of oil to the blades to prevent oxidation.
