FELCO 231 - Two-Hand Pruning Shear - Lever-Action Lopper with Curved Anvil (80 cm)

FELCO 231 Two-Hand Pruning Shear - Lever-Action Lopper with Curved Anvil (80 cm)

The FELCO 231 is the pinnacle of power and efficiency for heavy-duty pruning. At 80 cm (31.5 inches) in length, this professional lopper features a sophisticated lever-action gearing system that reduces the physical effort required for cutting by up to 65%. The curved anvil head is the defining feature of this model; its "hook" shape pulls the branch toward the center of the blade, preventing slippage and ensuring a perfect, stable grip on branches up to 40mm. This is the ultimate tool for professionals who need to combine high-reaching leverage with maximum cutting force for hard or large-diameter wood.

Best For Professional arborists, foresters, and orchardists who need to cut through thick, hard, or dry wood with the absolute minimum amount of arm and shoulder strain.

Key Features

• Geared Lever System: The internal gearing mechanism provides a significant mechanical advantage, allowing you to slice through thick branches effortlessly compared to standard loppers.

• Curved Anvil Geometry: The hooked anvil design securely grips the branch and holds it in the optimal cutting position, preventing the wood from sliding out toward the tip of the blade.

• Premium Hardened Steel: Both the cutting blade and the anvil are crafted from high-quality hardened steel, engineered to maintain a sharp edge even under the high pressure of geared cutting.

• Forged Aluminum Handles: Built with FELCO’s signature high-strength aluminum alloy, providing a rigid and nearly indestructible frame that is lightweight enough for overhead work.

• Ergonomic Shock Absorption: Equipped with integrated rubber buffers that cushion the closing impact, protecting the user’s joints during long, intensive work sessions.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
