FELCO 704 - High Cut-Resistant Pruning Gloves - ANSI A4 Protection - Synthetic Leather & Breathable Mesh

FELCO 704 - High Cut-Resistant Pruning Gloves - ANSI A4 - Synthetic Leather & Breathable Mesh

Operating sharp secateurs and pull-cut saws requires hand protection that meets industrial cut standards without sacrificing dexterity or handle feedback. The FELCO 704 pairs a high-grip synthetic leather palm with cut-resistant fibre lining and breathable mesh backing, certified to ANSI A4 and EN388:2016 for commercial orchard and vineyard safety.

Flexible neoprene across the knuckles and ventilated mesh on the thumb maintain joint mobility and airflow during long shifts. Six sizes from S to XXXL accommodate diverse crews; due to the dense protective weave, selecting one size larger than your normal glove size is recommended for optimal comfort.

Best For: Commercial viticulturists, orchardists, arborists, and safety-conscious gardeners who need industrial-strength cut protection while operating sharp manual pruners, loppers, and pruning saws.

Key Features:

• Premium Cut-Resistant Fibre Lining: Internal cut-resistant fibres meet ANSI A4 standards against blade slips and thorny abrasions.
• Certified EN388 Protection: EN388:2016 rating 3.4.4.3.D for abrasion, tear, and puncture resistance in commercial environments.
• High-Grip Synthetic Leather Palm: Supple synthetic leather palm delivers secure non-slip hold on tool handles in dry and damp conditions.
• Flexible Neoprene & Mesh Backing: Elastic neoprene knuckles and breathable mesh thumb zone reduce fatigue and improve ventilation.
• Comprehensive Professional Sizing: Six sizes from S to XXXL; select one size up due to dense protective internal weave.

Primary Field & Utility Applications

• Commercial Orchard & Vineyard Pruning: Essential safety barrier during high-volume pruning with manual cutting tools.
• Lopper & Saw Operations: Confident handling of pull-cut saws, hedge shears, and loppers during acreage clearing.
• Rough Material Handling: Splintered timber, thorny brambles, and dense brushwood without laceration risk.

Pro Tip & Maintenance: Cut-resistant liners do not make gloves cut-proof; always cut away from the body and keep blades sharp to reduce slip force. Wash gently by hand and air-dry to preserve fibre integrity. Inspect palms weekly for wear and replace at first sign of liner exposure.

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.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
