FELCO 330 - Fruit Clipper - Precision Harvesting Snip

FELCO 330 Fruit Clipper - Precision Harvesting Snip

The FELCO 330 is a specialized fruit clipper designed for the meticulous harvesting of small fruits and vegetables where the integrity of the produce is paramount. Featuring a short, straight cutting head with a uniquely thin profile, this tool allows the user to cut stems as close to the fruit as possible without causing skin damage. It is a lightweight, high-performance snip that prioritizes a "surgical" touch, ensuring that every piece of fruit harvested is market-ready and free from bruising or puncture.

Best For Professional pickers and home gardeners harvesting delicate fruits like apples, pears, and persimmons, as well as citrus where a flush, clean cut is required.

Key Features

• Thin Stainless Steel Blades: The ultra-slim cutting head is designed to slide between the fruit and the branch, allowing for a flush cut that prevents protruding stems from damaging other fruit in the picking bin.

• Corrosion Resistant: High-quality stainless steel blades ensure the tool remains impervious to the acidic juices and moisture common in fruit harvesting, maintaining a sharp edge for longer.

• Soft-Touch Spring Action: Features a flexible, high-frequency coil spring that provides a gentle opening action, minimizing the impact on the hand during thousands of daily repetitive movements.

• Ergonomic Lightweight Handles: The handles are designed to be lightweight and comfortable, featuring a non-slip coating that provides a secure grip even when hands are wet or covered in sap.

• Simple Safety Lock: Equipped with a practical thumb-locking catch, ensuring the blades stay closed when the tool is not in use, protecting both the user and the precision cutting edge.

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: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

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.
