FELCO designers have used their experience and know-how to producesuper-light loppers with maximum cutting power, infusing their design withthe quality and effectiveness associated with FELCO.

With this launch, the world leader in pruning and cutting tools is extendingits product range to provide the ideal solution for the intensive pruning oflarge branches, particularly suited to orchard work.

FELCO’S decision to extend its existing range of two-hand pruning shearsis based on feedback received from itsprofessional customer base. Thisnew model isincredibly light, very easy to handle and exceptionallyeffective.

A key feature of the new toolis the reduced level of arm and shoulderstrain experienced by the operator, especially during intensive work suchas the pruning of mature fruit trees. The Loppers are also well suitedtoforestry work.

Measuring 80 cm in length, the new loppers make light work of cuttingbranches with a diameter of 40 mm. They feature tubular handles madeof a highly resistant aluminium alloy, and an ingenious cam-lever systemthat reduces the cutting effort. This systemprovides superior cuttingpower that is roughly equivalent to a 12-year-old child pushing down onthe levers and generating the power of 6 adult men!

The hardened steel blade interacts with a high-quality, precision-forgedaluminium anvil to deliver a clean, smooth and accurate cut. The hollow-shaped blade and a curved anvil trap the branch close to the fulcrum ofthe cutting head; this prevents pushback and makes cutting work easier.

The 231 loppers feature non-slip grips and come equipped with a stopblock system that prevents fingers getting jammed at the end of thecutting action.

Like all FELCO tools, the FELCO 231 model isbacked by a full range ofspare parts.
