FELCO 5/35 - Replacement Handle

FELCO 5/35 Replacement Handle 

The FELCO 5/35 is the genuine factory replacement grip designed specifically for the FELCO 5 "Standard" model pruners. Unlike the forged aluminum handles of other models, the FELCO 5 features robust pressed steel handles, making the protective coating essential for both comfort and tool longevity. This replacement sleeve is made from FELCO’s signature phthalate-free, non-slip synthetic material, providing a durable, cushioned layer that protects the steel from corrosion while ensuring a secure hold. Replacing a worn coating restores the essential ergonomics required to manage the powerful cutting action of this heavy-duty tool.

Best For Owners of the FELCO 5 who want to replace weathered, cracked, or thin handle grips to improve comfort, grip safety, and rust protection.

Key Features

• Steel Handle Protection: Specifically designed to tightly encase the pressed steel handles of the FELCO 5, providing a barrier against moisture and preventing surface rust.

• Signature Non-Slip Texture: Features the authentic FELCO pebbled finish, ensuring the tool remains firmly in your hand even when working with sap-covered gloves or in wet conditions.

• Impact Cushioning: The thick synthetic material provides essential padding for the palm, which is particularly important for the high-force cutting tasks typically performed with the FELCO 5.

• Phthalate-Free Material: Manufactured using skin-safe, eco-friendly compounds that offer a soft touch without sacrificing the rugged durability needed for agricultural work.

• Direct Factory Fit: Precision-molded for a seamless mechanical fit, ensuring the coating won’t shift or slide under the high pressure of heavy pruning.

Specifications

• Brand: FELCO (Made in Switzerland)

• Model: FELCO 5/35 (Handle Coating)

• Compatibility: FELCO 5 (Both blade and anvil handles)

• Material: Phthalate-free soft synthetic PVC

• Color: FELCO Red

Ideal For (Uses)

• Heavy-Duty Refurbishment: Refreshing the grips on high-use agricultural tools where the original coating has been worn down by years of intensive branch thinning.

• Rust Prevention: Ensuring the underlying steel frame of the FELCO 5 remains protected from the elements, extending the tool’s overall lifespan.

• Cold Weather Pruning: Restoring the thermal insulation that keeps the chill of the metal handles away from the user’s hand during winter maintenance.

• Tool Visibility: Maintaining the vibrant FELCO red color, making it easy to identify your equipment on the job site or in the garden shed.

Pro Tip: Because the FELCO 5 handles are steel, ensure any surface rust is removed and the metal is dry before sliding on the new coating. A light spray of hairspray or a dip in warm, soapy water will help the new grip slide into place and then "set" firmly as it dries.

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.
