Pruning Shears Felco 6 Bypass Red

The Felco 6 Bypass Red pruning shears are compact, precision cutting tools designed for routine gardening tasks. They feature a bypass cutting system that makes clean, accurate cuts on live plant material. The shears have anodized aluminum handles in a red finish, weigh approximately 210 g and measure 195 mm in overall length. With a cutting capacity of up to 2 cm, these shears balance lightness and control for general pruning and trimming work.

Advantages

The bypass mechanism provides a clean scissor-like action that helps reduce damage to stems and promotes healthier regrowth. Anodized aluminum handles combine low weight and strength for easier, less tiring use during extended tasks. The compact 195 mm length and balanced design improve maneuverability in tight spaces and around delicate plants. The 2 cm cutting capacity covers most small to medium pruning needs around the garden.

How to use

Hold the shears with the cutting blade aligned to the side of the stem you want to keep, and position the anvil or opposing blade on the section to be removed to achieve a clean cut. Use smooth, decisive closing motion to avoid crushing stems. For branches near the maximum cutting capacity, make multiple small cuts or use suitable larger pruning tools. Keep the blades clean and dry after use to maintain cutting performance and reduce corrosion risk.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the blades for nicks and sharpen as needed to maintain the precise bypass action. Apply a light oil to the pivot and blade surfaces after cleaning. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and heavy moisture to preserve the anodized finish and overall tool life.
