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.

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)

• 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
