Know before you buy
The Felco Model 4 has a cutting capacity of 1 inch. It is best suited for pruning roses, flowers, and smaller stems within this range.
The Model 4 is a simplified, no-frills version of the classic Felco design. While it maintains the brand's signature precision and durability, it lacks some of the advanced ergonomic features found in higher-end models to keep the design straightforward and lightweight.
With an overall length of 8 1/4 inches and a lightweight build of 7.8 oz, the Model 4 is designed for comfortable one-handed operation. However, because it lacks the adjustable hand-size settings found on some other Felco models, it is best suited for average-sized hands.
Yes, like all Felco tools, the Model 4 is designed for longevity. You can replace the blades and other individual components as they wear down over time, ensuring the tool remains functional for years.
The Felco Model 4 is a standard bypass pruner. While it is excellent for precision cutting, it does not feature a mechanical 'cut and hold' mechanism to grip stems after they are severed.
