FELCO 16 - One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic (Left-Hand)

FELCO 16 One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic (Left-Hand)

The FELCO 16 is the high-performance solution for left-handed gardeners who require a more compact and maneuverable tool. Often, left-handed users are forced to adapt to tools designed for right-handed ergonomics, but the FELCO 16 is built from the ground up to mirror the specialized geometry of the FELCO 6. Featuring a tapered cutting head and shorter handles, it offers surgical precision and exceptional comfort for those with medium hand sizes, ensuring that left-handed professionals and enthusiasts no longer have to compromise on power or fit.

Best For Left-handed users with medium-sized hands who need a lightweight, ergonomic bypass shear for detailed, high-volume pruning work.

Key Features

• Dedicated Left-Handed Geometry: The blade orientation and handle curves are specifically engineered for left-handed operation, providing a clear line of sight to the cut and natural mechanical advantage.

• Compact Tapered Head: Designed with a slim cutting head that allows for easy access to crowded branches and dense foliage, making it the ideal tool for precision thinning.

• Forged Aluminum Handles: Features FELCO's iconic lightweight forged aluminum alloy handles, offering industrial-strength durability and a secure grip that is backed by a lifetime guarantee.

• Ergonomic Shock Absorption: Integrated cushioned rubber shock absorbers reduce the impact at the end of each cut, protecting the wrist and hand from fatigue during long hours in the garden.

• Micrometric Precision Adjustment: Includes FELCO’s signature adjustment system, allowing the user to fine-tune the blade tension for a smooth, clean, and effortless cutting action.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
