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.

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.

• 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.
