Frequently Asked Questions

What size hands is the F-4 best suited for?

The Felco F-4 is specifically designed and best-suited for right-handed users with larger hands. Users with smaller hands would be better served by Felco models like the F6 or F12 which are proportioned for smaller hand sizes.

What does the lifetime guarantee on the handles cover?

Felco's lifetime guarantee on forged aluminum handles covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use conditions, providing lasting confidence in the structural integrity of the handles over years of professional use.

Why is the anvil blade riveted?

Riveting provides a permanent, extremely strong attachment that resists loosening under repeated heavy cutting loads, making the riveted extra-strong anvil blade ideal for demanding regular pruning work.

What is the wire cutting notch for?

The wire cutting notch allows the pruner to cleanly cut thin wire - useful in growing environments where wire is used for trellising, plant support structures, or other applications alongside standard plant pruning tasks.
