FELCO 17 - One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic Rotating (Left-Hand)

FELCO 17 One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic Rotating (Left-Hand)

The FELCO 17 is the definitive ergonomic solution for left-handed users with medium-sized hands who demand the highest level of comfort and efficiency. As the compact version of the FELCO 10, this model incorporates the revolutionary rotating handle into a smaller frame tailored for left-handed ergonomics. The handle moves on its axis as you squeeze, distributing the cutting pressure across all fingers and reducing physical effort by up to 30%. This prevents the friction that leads to blisters and provides unparalleled protection against repetitive strain during intensive pruning.

Best For Left-handed professionals, florists, and dedicated gardeners with medium hands who perform high-frequency pruning and require a lightweight, compact tool with maximum ergonomic support.

Key Features

• Dedicated Left-Hand Geometry: Mirroring the specialized architecture of the FELCO 12, this tool is engineered specifically for left-handed use, ensuring a clear line of sight and natural wrist alignment.

• Ergonomic Rotating Handle: The lower handle rotates with the natural movement of your fingers, significantly reducing the force required for each cut and protecting the user from carpal tunnel and joint fatigue.

• Compact Tapered Head: Features a slimmed-down bypass cutting head that allows for exceptional maneuverability in tight spaces, making it perfect for precision thinning and detailed maintenance.

• Forged Aluminum Construction: The handles are crafted from high-strength drop-forged aluminum alloy, offering a lightweight yet virtually indestructible foundation that is backed by a lifetime guarantee.

• Micrometric Precision: Includes FELCO’s signature adjustment system, allowing you to fine-tune the blade tension for a smooth, surgical-grade cut that promotes rapid plant healing.

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.
