FELCO 706 - Professional Protective Work Glove - Reinforced Finger Safety Caps - High-Quality Leather Handling & Cutting Guard

FELCO 706 Professional Protective Work Glove - Reinforced Finger Safety Caps - High-Quality Leather Handling & Cutting Guard

When executing high-frequency pruning and plant handling, the hand holding the tool is focused on cutting, while the opposite hand is constantly exposed to abrasive thorns, sharp branches, and accidental blade strikes. The FELCO 706 is a professional-grade protective glove engineered specifically to shield your non-dominant support hand during intensive landscaping, vineyard pruning, and orchard maintenance. Crafted from premium, supple leather and fitted with heavy-duty reinforced protective caps inside each finger tip, this high-durability safety glove offers exceptional impact and cut protection without compromising the tactical dexterity and touch sensitivity required to manage delicate crops.

Best For
Commercial viticulturists, professional orchard workers, arborists, municipal groundskeepers, and dedicated home gardeners who need robust, high-comfort puncture and cut defense on their support hand during heavy clearing tasks.

Key Features

• Targeted Opposite-Hand Protection: Available in custom configurations designed to protect the vulnerable non-dominant hand (the left hand for right-handed cutters, or the right hand for left-handed cutters) from accidental blade or wood contact.
• Reinforced Finger Safety Caps: Every single finger stall is equipped with an integrated, heavy-duty defensive shield cap that absorbs blunt force compression and stops sharp thorns or blades from piercing the fingertips.
• Premium Genuine Leather Build: Tailored from top-grade leather that naturally resists punctures, abrasions, and tears while offering exceptional pliability that molds to your unique hand structure over time.
• High-Dexterity Tactical Flexibility: Engineered with ergonomic seam lines that preserve your natural range of motion, allowing you to fluidly sort branches, strip foliage, and align stems with absolute precision.
• High-Traction Secure Grip: The texturized natural grain of the leather ensures a solid, non-slip hold on damp tree limbs, wire trellises, and plant stalks, reducing accidental slips in wet or humid field environments.
• Extended Dynamic Comfort: Features a breathable, non-chafing interior liner combined with a secure wrist seal, allowing professionals to work through long, high-repetition production shifts without hand irritation.

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.
