FELCO 6 - One-Hand Pruning Shear - High Performance Ergonomic Compact

FELCO 6 One-Hand Pruning Shear - High Performance Ergonomic Compact

The FELCO 6 is the definitive choice for those who require the power of a professional tool in a more maneuverable, compact frame. Specifically engineered for users with medium-sized hands, this model offers exceptional ergonomics without compromising on cutting capacity. It combines the legendary Swiss durability of the FELCO 2 with a shorter cutting head and lighter handles, resulting in a tool that feels like a natural extension of the hand.

Best For Gardeners with medium hand sizes, florists, and nursery workers who need a lightweight, high-precision tool for intensive, all-day pruning.

Key Features

• Compact Ergonomic Design: Featuring shorter handles and a tapered cutting head, this model is perfectly balanced to reduce hand strain and reach into tight clusters of branches.

• Premium Hardened Steel Blades: The bypass blades are crafted from high-quality hardened steel, ensuring surgical precision and a smooth finish that promotes rapid plant recovery.

• Lightweight Forged Aluminum: Built with FELCO’s signature drop-forged aluminum handles, providing maximum strength-to-weight ratio and a lifetime of reliability.

• Integrated Sap Groove & Wire Notch: Includes a built-in groove to prevent blade sticking from debris and a specialized notch for safely cutting small garden wires without dulling the edge.

• Cushioned Shock Absorbers: Equipped with rubber shock absorbers that soften the impact at the end of each cut, significantly protecting the wrist and hand during repetitive tasks.

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)

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.
