FELCO 16 - One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic (Left-Hand)

FELCO 16 One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic (Left-Hand)

The FELCO 16 is the high-performance solution for left-handed gardeners who require a more compact and maneuverable tool. Often, left-handed users are forced to adapt to tools designed for right-handed ergonomics, but the FELCO 16 is built from the ground up to mirror the specialized geometry of the FELCO 6. Featuring a tapered cutting head and shorter handles, it offers surgical precision and exceptional comfort for those with medium hand sizes, ensuring that left-handed professionals and enthusiasts no longer have to compromise on power or fit.

Best For Left-handed users with medium-sized hands who need a lightweight, ergonomic bypass shear for detailed, high-volume pruning work.

Key Features

• Dedicated Left-Handed Geometry: The blade orientation and handle curves are specifically engineered for left-handed operation, providing a clear line of sight to the cut and natural mechanical advantage.

• Compact Tapered Head: Designed with a slim cutting head that allows for easy access to crowded branches and dense foliage, making it the ideal tool for precision thinning.

• Forged Aluminum Handles: Features FELCO's iconic lightweight forged aluminum alloy handles, offering industrial-strength durability and a secure grip that is backed by a lifetime guarantee.

• Ergonomic Shock Absorption: Integrated cushioned rubber shock absorbers reduce the impact at the end of each cut, protecting the wrist and hand from fatigue during long hours in the garden.

• Micrometric Precision Adjustment: Includes FELCO’s signature adjustment system, allowing the user to fine-tune the blade tension for a smooth, clean, and effortless cutting action.
