FELCO 221-70 - Lopper - Straight Cutting Head (70 cm)

FELCO 221-70 Lopper - Straight Cutting Head (70 cm)

The FELCO 221-70 is a heavy-duty professional lopper designed for those who need significant reach and high-leverage power. At 70 cm (27.6 inches) in length, it is one of the larger models in the FELCO range, providing the mechanical advantage necessary to cut through thicker branches with minimal physical exertion. The straight cutting head is precision-engineered for accuracy, allowing the user to make clean, surgical bypass cuts deep within the canopy or at height. Combining robust forged aluminum handles with FELCO’s legendary Swiss steel, the 221-70 is built for the most demanding commercial pruning environments.

Best For Arborists, commercial fruit growers, and landscape professionals who require an extended reach and maximum leverage for thinning and maintenance tasks in large orchards, parks, or mature estates.

Key Features

• Extended 70cm Reach: The long-reach handles provide a superior mechanical advantage, making it easier to slice through tough wood while allowing the user to reach higher branches safely from the ground.

• Precision Straight Head: The tapered straight blade geometry is designed for high-accuracy pruning, enabling clean cuts flush against the trunk and easy navigation through dense, woody growth.

• Forged Aluminum Strength: Built with high-strength forged aluminum alloy handles, ensuring the tool is virtually indestructible yet remains balanced and lightweight enough for extended daily use.

• Advanced Impact Protection: Includes integrated rubber shock absorbers that dampen the vibrations at the end of each cut, protecting the wrists, arms, and shoulders from repetitive strain.

• Full Serviceability: Designed as a lifelong investment, every component of the FELCO 221-70 is replaceable, ensuring the tool can be maintained at peak performance for decades.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
