FELCO 4 - Amboss - Aluminium - Rot - Stahl - Edelstahl - 21 cm

Where most pruners struggle with dead, hard, or woody growth, the FELCO 4 anvil secateurs excel. Unlike bypass models that slice like scissors, this tool concentrates force onto a flat counter-plate, making clean cuts through tough branches up to 20 mm with noticeably less effort. Forged aluminium handles keep the weight down and the balance perfect, while the bright red PVC-free coating ensures a secure grip even when your hands are damp or gloved. Built in Switzerland from replaceable high-carbon steel and aluminium parts, the FELCO 4 is a long-term investment for gardeners who demand reliability season after season.

In daily use

At 210 mm long and weighing just a few hundred grams, the FELCO 4 suits medium to large hands and feels agile even in dense shrubs. The anvil design requires less effort than bypass pruners on dead wood, and the adjustable blade lets you fine-tune the cutting action as parts wear. The thumb catch is easy to flick open with one hand, and the coil spring returns the handles smoothly after each cut. Whether you are pruning roses, clearing brush, or maintaining fruit trees, the FELCO 4 delivers clean cuts without the wrist strain.
