Felco 160S Pruner for Smaller Hands - 0.75in Cutting Capacity - Recyclable Fiberglass Handles

Felco 160S — Recyclable Fiberglass Handles for Smaller Hands

The Felco 160S is precision-built for right-handed users with smaller hands, delivering the same Swiss cutting quality Felco is known for in a compact, lightweight package. Fiberglass composite handles are strong, lightweight, and recyclable at end of life, a design choice for environmentally conscious growers.

A 0.75in cutting capacity with hardened steel blades, wire cutting notch, and sap groove rounds out this pruner for everyday use, and a bolt and nut mechanism allows the cutting head to be adjusted for optimal blade alignment as the tool wears with regular use.

Key Features & Benefits

• Designed for smaller hands: The Felco 160S is specifically proportioned for right-handed users with smaller hands, providing a comfortable, secure grip without the stretch required by full-size pruners.
• Recyclable fiberglass composite handles: Lightweight fiberglass composite construction reduces overall tool weight while offering recyclability at the end of the tool's life.
• Hardened steel blades: The cutting blade and counter blade are constructed from hardened steel for lasting sharpness and reliable performance through regular pruning use.
• Wire cutting notch and sap groove: The blade includes a wire cutting notch for added utility, while the counter blade's sap groove prevents sticking during cuts through sap-heavy material.
• Adjustable cutting head: A bolt and nut mechanism allows precise adjustment of the cutting head for optimal blade alignment and maintenance over time.

Who Should Use This

Right-handed growers, florists, and gardeners with smaller hands who want Swiss precision quality in a tool sized for comfort are the direct fit for the Felco 160S, and the recyclable fiberglass handles make it a responsible choice for sustainability-focused cultivators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Felco 160S handles truly recyclable?

Yes. The fiberglass composite handles are designed to be recyclable at the end of the tool's useful life, making the 160S a more environmentally responsible choice compared to standard non-recyclable plastic handles.

Is the 160S only for people with small hands?

The 160S is specifically sized and designed for smaller hands, providing the most comfortable and controlled grip for users in that size range. Those with average or larger hands would typically be better served by a different Felco model.

What is the wire cutting notch used for?

The wire cutting notch allows the pruner to cut thin wire in addition to plant material. This adds practical utility for growing environments where wire is used for trellising, support, or other applications.

How is the cutting head adjusted on the 160S?

A bolt and nut mechanism allows precise adjustment of the cutting head to maintain optimal blade alignment as the tool wears with regular use. This keeps cuts clean over the pruner's working life.
