FELCO 15 - One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic with Rotating Handle

FELCO 15 One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic with Rotating Handle

The FELCO 15 is the ultimate high-performance tool for those with smaller hands who refuse to compromise on power or ergonomics. This model successfully integrates FELCO’s revolutionary rotating handle into a compact, small-size frame. By allowing the handle to rotate as you squeeze, the tool distributes the workload across all muscles of the hand, reducing the necessary cutting effort by up to 30%. It is a masterclass in Swiss engineering, providing maximum comfort and surgical precision for intensive pruning tasks.

Best For Professional gardeners, florists, and nursery workers with smaller hands who perform high-frequency pruning and require the highest level of protection against hand fatigue and repetitive strain.

Key Features

• Small-Scale Rotating Handle: The lower handle rotates on its axis during the cutting motion, significantly reducing the friction between the hand and the tool to prevent blisters and strain.

• Ergonomic Compact Design: Specifically engineered with shorter handles and an angled cutting head to fit perfectly in smaller hands while maintaining a neutral wrist position.

• Hardened Steel Bypass Blades: Features a premium Swiss-made cutting head that delivers clean, precise cuts, ensuring rapid plant healing and professional-grade results.

• Forged Aluminum Construction: The handles are made from drop-forged aluminum alloy, providing a lightweight yet practically indestructible foundation that is backed by a lifetime guarantee.

• Integrated Comfort Systems: Equipped with cushioned rubber shock absorbers, a sap groove to keep the blade clean, and a wire-cutting notch for versatile garden use.
