FELCO 603 - Folding Curved Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw (20 cm)

FELCO 603 Folding Curved Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw (20 cm)

The FELCO 603 is the largest model in the folding saw range, offering the perfect balance between high-capacity cutting and portable convenience. Featuring an extended 20 cm (7.8 inches) curved blade, this saw is designed to tackle larger branches that would typically require a fixed-blade tool. The curved geometry provides an aggressive "hooking" action, ensuring the teeth stay buried in the wood for maximum efficiency on every pull stroke. Despite its increased cutting power, the FELCO 603 folds down into a compact, ergonomic handle, allowing you to carry a heavy-duty pruning solution right in your pocket or holster.

Best For Professional arborists, landscapers, and forestry workers who need a high-capacity, fast-cutting saw for branches up to 100mm in diameter without the bulk of a full-sized fixed saw.

Key Features

• Extended 20 cm Curved Blade: The long, curved profile increases the cutting surface and naturally pulls the blade into the wood, allowing you to slice through thick limbs with significantly less effort.

• High-Performance Pull-Stroke: Engineered to cut exclusively on the pull stroke, which eliminates the risk of the blade buckling and produces a clean, smooth finish that prevents wood rot and disease.

• Induction-Hardened Teeth: The teeth are impulse-hardened to provide extraordinary durability and a razor-sharp edge that lasts through seasons of intensive professional use.

• Sap-Resistant Chrome Finish: The blade is hard chrome-plated to resist corrosion and minimize friction, making it easier to cut through "wet" or resinous wood without the blade sticking.

• Secure Safety Lock: Features a robust locking mechanism that holds the blade firmly in the open position for heavy work and keeps it safely stowed in the non-slip handle when closed.

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.
