FELCO
The people at Felco describe their product as "Simply the Best Pruners in the World". Many professional and hobby gardeners would agree. We are pleased to offer a very good selection of Felco pruners.
The History of Felco
Switzerland, world famous for prestigious watch manufacturers, is synonymous with precision and quality workmanship. It is also the home of Felco which has manufactured Felco tools for more than 50 years. In 1945 Felix Flisch designed and manufactured his first forged aluminum pruner in a small workshop. The factory in Jura today is modern and employs 120 people but the standard of excellence and precision is still its top property. Felco products are exported to over 80 countries in the world.
The Products
Made with Swiss precision, these pruners are highly regarded by experienced gardeners. Many of us start out buying cheap pruners, often with a similar Felco-like appearance, from the local hardware store, not even aware of the difference. We guarantee that once you've tried a pair of Felco pruners you'll understand. The blade is made of hardened top-quality steel. The handles are forged of manganese aluminum alloy and wrapped with the trade mark Felco red plastic that insulates them. The blade is adjustable and the lower one has a sap groove to prevent the blades from sticking together. Each pair comes with an adjustment key with hexagonal cut outs on the spanner to tighten or release all screws and nuts for accurate alignment of blades if necessary. Of course all the parts are replaceable. Call us and we will be happy to check with our supplier about the cost and delivery of any part you need.
