Pruning shears Felco 14 Bypass, aluminium handles, red — model FEL-14

Felco 14 Bypass pruning shears combine compact dimensions with professional cutting performance. Designed with an inclined cutting head and smaller aluminium handles, these secateurs deliver precise, controlled cuts for branches and stems up to 18 mm (0.7 in) diameter. Hardened steel blades, hot drop forged aluminium handles and an ergonomic angled head make the FELCO 14 a lightweight, manoeuvrable tool that preserves cutting power while reducing wrist strain. Red handles increase visibility in the garden, and the tool is supplied as a single-piece pack.

Advantages

The FELCO 14 offers an efficient, high-precision bypass cutting action and a finely tapered cutting head for access into tight or densely foliaged areas. Its compact design balances cutting force distribution for unexpectedly strong cutting performance despite a smaller grip size. A micro‑metric adjustment mechanism enables exact blade alignment for consistently clean cuts, while rubber shock absorbers cushion the closing action to reduce hand and wrist fatigue. The blade features a sap groove to prevent sticking and a wire‑cutting notch for occasional wire tasks, and key wearing parts are replaceable to extend the tool’s usable life.

• General garden pruning of ornamentals and shrubs
• Fruit tree pruning and maintenance
• Fine, detailed tip cutting and shaping of young stems

How to use

Hold the FELCO 14 so the inclined head follows the natural line of your hand and position the branch between the bypass blade and counter‑blade. Use the micro‑metric adjustment to set blade alignment if necessary before cutting. Make single, decisive cuts on healthy wood up to the recommended diameter to promote clean wounds that heal quickly. After use, close and lock the tool with the adjustable safety lock and wipe the blade clean; regular lubrication of the pivot and periodic sharpening will maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the FELCO 14 for fine pruning tasks and branches within the stated cutting capacity. Replace worn blades and springs with original parts to preserve cutting quality and safety. Store dry and keep the cutting edge sharp; the red handles aid visibility so the tool is easy to locate in the workspace.
