Know before you buy
Yes, the Felco F4 is designed with an ambidextrous handle, making it comfortable and functional for both left- and right-handed users.
The bypass blade acts like a pair of scissors, sliding past each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for live, green wood as it minimizes damage to the plant tissue and promotes faster healing.
Yes, the Felco F4 is built for longevity. All parts, including the high-carbon steel blades, are replaceable, allowing you to maintain the tool's performance for years rather than replacing the entire unit.
The aluminum construction provides a sturdy, durable frame while remaining lightweight. This balance reduces hand fatigue during extended pruning sessions in the garden.
To keep them in top condition, wipe the blades clean after each use and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Periodically checking the tension and ensuring the coil spring is clean will keep the cutting action smooth.
