Know before you buy
The FELCO 211-40 is designed to cleanly cut through branches up to 35mm, or 1.38 inches, in diameter.
The hooked counter blade acts as a guide that pulls branches into the cutting head, preventing them from slipping out while you slice. This design reduces the physical strain on your arms and ensures a precise, clean cut.
While the 211-40 model comes with a fixed 40cm handle length, the handles are interchangeable. You can swap them for 50cm or 60cm versions if you require more reach for your specific pruning tasks.
The blade is designed for quick and easy replacement when it eventually dulls. To prevent sticking during use, the blade features a built-in sap groove that clears debris with every cut.
No, they are built with lightweight aluminum handles featuring an I-beam construction, which balances durability with a low weight. Additionally, integrated rubber shock absorbers help dampen impact and reduce fatigue during long pruning sessions.
