FELCO 12 - One-Hand Pruning Shear - High Performance Compact with Rotating Handle

FELCO 12 One-Hand Pruning Shear - High Performance Compact with Rotating Handle

The FELCO 12 is the ultimate ergonomic solution for users who require a smaller, more maneuverable tool without sacrificing the advanced features of FELCO’s professional line. This model integrates the revolutionary rotating handle technology into a compact frame. By allowing the handle to rotate on its axis, the tool spreads the cutting effort across all fingers, reducing the force required for each cut and virtually eliminating the friction that causes blisters and hand fatigue. It is a high-performance precision instrument designed for those who value both technical innovation and long-term joint health.

Best For Professionals and dedicated home gardeners with medium-sized hands who perform intensive, repetitive pruning and want the highest level of protection against strain.

Key Features

• Ergonomic Rotating Handle: The bottom handle moves with the natural closing motion of your hand, reducing the required cutting effort by up to 30% and significantly lowering the risk of repetitive strain injuries.

• Compact Professional Geometry: Specifically designed with a tapered cutting head and smaller handle span, making it exceptionally agile for precision work in tight spaces or dense foliage.

• Angled Cutting Head: The head is canted to align perfectly with the wrist, allowing for a more natural arm position that improves control and reduces muscle tension during extended use.

• Forged Aluminum Strength: Built with FELCO’s signature drop-forged aluminum handles, offering a lightweight yet incredibly durable chassis that is designed to last a lifetime.

• Micrometric Blade Adjustment: Features a precision adjustment system that allows you to fine-tune the blade-to-anvil contact for a smooth, surgical-grade bypass cut every time.

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.
