FELCO 70 Pneumatic Pruning Shear - Standard

FELCO 70 Pneumatic Pruning Shear - Standard

The FELCO 70 is a heavy-duty pneumatic powerhouse designed for intensive pruning applications where speed and sheer force are the primary requirements. Unlike progressive models, this standard action tool delivers a rapid, powerful snap-cut with every pull of the trigger, making it exceptionally efficient for clearing large volumes of wood in record time. Built to withstand the rigors of professional use, the FELCO 70 features a robust forged aluminum body and a high-capacity cutting head. It is the ideal solution for operators who need to eliminate hand fatigue during grueling pruning seasons in orchards and forests without sacrificing the legendary clean-cut quality FELCO is known for.

Best For Professional arborists, orchardists, and forestry workers who require a high-speed, power-assisted tool for repetitive, heavy-duty pruning of thick or hard wood.

Key Features

• High-Speed Snap Action: The standard pneumatic valve system provides an instantaneous, powerful closing of the blade, allowing for extremely fast work cycles when clearing dense branches.

• Forged Aluminum Construction: The body is manufactured from high-strength forged aluminum alloy, ensuring the tool is durable enough for industrial agricultural use while remaining light enough for all-day operation.

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.
