FELCO Pruning Tools: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which FELCO secateurs are best for my hand size?
Choosing the right fit is essential for comfort. The FELCO 2 and FELCO 8 are designed for large hands, while the FELCO 6 and FELCO 12 are specifically scaled for small to medium hands. If you are left-handed, the FELCO 9 and FELCO 10 are mirrored versions of the top ergonomic models to ensure you get the same precision and comfort as right-handed users.
Q: What is the difference between Bypass and Anvil secateurs?
Bypass secateurs (like the FELCO 2) work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to make a clean, precise cut on green, living wood. Anvil secateurs (like the FELCO 31) have a straight blade that closes against a flat metal base; these are much more powerful for cutting through hard, dead, or woody branches where a clean “surgical” cut is less important than raw crushing power.
Q: Can I get my FELCO tools serviced or repaired at Godfreys?
Yes! One of the main reasons customers choose Godfreys of Sevenoaks is our long-term support. Because every part of a FELCO tool is replaceable, we can help you source new blades, springs, or handles. We also stock FELCO 903 and 905 sharpening stones so you can maintain your edge at home, or you can bring them to our showroom for expert advice on refurbishment.
Q: How do I know if my FELCO tools are genuine?
There are many counterfeit pruning tools online. By purchasing from Godfreys, an official UK stockist, you are guaranteed genuine Swiss-made FELCO products. Authentic FELCOs feature the distinct “Swiss Made” branding, high-quality hardened steel blades, and the iconic red non-slip handle coating that is comfortable even in cold, wet weather.
Q: Why does the FELCO 7 have a rotating handle?
The rotating handle on models like the FELCO 7 and FELCO 12 is designed for professionals or gardeners with large areas to prune. The handle moves with your fingers as you make each cut, reducing the required effort by up to 30% and significantly lowering the risk of blisters, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome during long days in the garden or vineyard.
