FELCO 9 - One-Hand Pruning Shear - High Performance Ergonomic (Left-Hand)

FELCO 9 One-Hand Pruning Shear - High Performance Ergonomic (Left-Hand)

The FELCO 9 is the premier ergonomic solution specifically engineered for left-handed professionals and enthusiasts. While most tools on the market are designed for right-handed use, the FELCO 9 mirrors the high-performance architecture of the FELCO 8 to provide lefties with unrivaled cutting power and comfort. With its angled cutting head and contoured handles, it acts as a natural extension of the arm, allowing for intensive pruning while protecting the hand and wrist from long-term strain.

Best For Left-handed gardeners and professionals with large hands who require a heavy-duty, high-leverage tool for all-day pruning and maximum ergonomic support.

Key Features

• True Left-Handed Engineering: Every aspect of the tool, from the blade orientation to the handle geometry, is specifically designed for left-handed use to ensure a clean view of the cut and natural leverage.

• Angled Ergonomic Design: Features an inclined cutting head that prevents the wrist from bending, significantly reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and carpal tunnel during heavy use.

• Forged Aluminum Construction: The handles are crafted from drop-forged aluminum alloy, offering incredible strength and a lightweight feel, backed by FELCO’s legendary lifetime guarantee.

• Integrated Shock Absorbers: Equipped with cushioned rubber buffers that soften the impact at the end of each cut, protecting the joints and muscles during high-volume pruning tasks.

• Micrometric Precision: Includes FELCO’s nut and serrated washer system, allowing the user to fine-tune the blade tension for a surgical, drag-free cutting experience.

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).

• 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.
