Know before you buy
The 50cm length is designed to balance reach and maneuverability. It provides enough leverage for pruning thicker branches while remaining compact enough to use comfortably in tighter spaces where longer-handled loppers might feel cumbersome.
The bypass mechanism works like a pair of scissors, where two sharpened blades pass by each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for pruning live, green wood because it minimizes damage to the plant tissue and promotes faster healing.
Yes, the sap groove is highly effective at preventing the blades from sticking together when cutting through resinous or sappy wood. By channeling sap away from the cutting edge, it keeps the action smooth and reduces the frequency of cleaning required during a long session.
Yes, Felco is known for its modular design, and the rubber shock absorbers are replaceable components. This ensures that you can maintain the tool's ergonomic comfort and vibration-dampening performance for many years.
The curved head is specifically designed to hold branches securely in place while you cut, preventing them from slipping out of the blades. This shape is particularly useful for reaching into dense shrubs or trees where you need a stable grip on the branch before applying pressure.
