FELCO 601 - Folding Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw (12 cm)

FELCO 601 Folding Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw (12 cm)

The FELCO 601 is a compact and highly versatile folding saw, perfect for those who need a precision cutting tool that fits easily into a pocket or holster. Featuring a 12 cm (4.7 inches) blade, it is the smaller sibling to the FELCO 600, offering even greater maneuverability in tight, crowded branch structures. The pull-stroke action design ensures maximum control and efficiency with minimal effort. Despite its small size, the FELCO 601 delivers a powerful and clean cut through branches up to 50mm, making it an indispensable tool for technical pruning, vineyard maintenance, or outdoor recreation.

Best For Professional viticulturists, arborists, and enthusiasts who require an ultra-portable, razor-sharp saw for precision work in confined spaces where a larger blade would be cumbersome.

Key Features

• Compact Precision: The shorter 12 cm blade is designed for high-accuracy cutting, allowing the user to navigate dense growth or reach deep into the canopy with ease.

• Pull-Stroke Efficiency: The blade is engineered to cut on the pull stroke, which prevents the steel from bending or buckling and creates a clean, smooth finish that aids plant recovery.

• Ultra-Hard Teeth: Features impulse-hardened teeth that undergo a specialized heat treatment to ensure they stay sharp significantly longer than standard saw blades.

• Rust Resistance: The blade is hard chrome-plated, providing a durable barrier against corrosion and reducing friction for smoother, faster sawing through green or dry wood.

• Safety-First Design: Includes a secure locking system that keeps the blade fixed in place during use and safely tucked away inside the ergonomic non-slip handle when folded.

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.
