Pruning shears Felco 160 L Bypass, Steel blade, 220 mm length, 25 mm cutting capacity, Black/Red handles

Felco 160 L is a bypass pruning shear with a steel cutting blade and a total length of 220 mm, designed for precise cutting of branches and stems. The tool delivers a maximum cutting capacity of 25 mm and combines a hardened steel blade with lightweight, high-resistance composite-fibre handles finished in black and red for improved grip and visibility. All wear parts are replaceable, enabling long-term use in gardening, viticulture and arboriculture.

Advantages

The Felco 160 L offers a clean and precise cut thanks to its high-quality hardened steel blade and carefully matched bypass action. Handles made of very high-resistance composite fibre make the tool exceptionally light while remaining hardwearing and comfortable in use. Cutting adjustment is simple and durable, allowing users to maintain optimal performance. Ergonomic handle shape supports hand and wrist protection and provides a secure, pleasant feel during repeated use. Replaceable wear parts reduce lifecycle cost by enabling maintenance rather than replacement.

• Pruning shrubs and small branches in home gardens

• Viticulture tasks such as shoot and cane trimming
• Ornamental plant and hedge shaping

How to use

Position the bypass blades around the branch, placing the steel cutting blade against the part to be removed for a precise slice. Squeeze the handles together with steady pressure until the cut is complete, avoiding twisting motions that can damage the blade or plant tissue. Use the adjustment mechanism to set blade tightness if you notice decreased cutting performance or slippage. After use, wipe the blade clean, dry it and apply a light coating of oil to prevent corrosion and maintain smooth action.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the Felco 160 L for branches up to the stated 25 mm cutting capacity and perform regular maintenance: sharpen or replace the cutting blade as needed, replace worn parts, and keep the adjustment mechanism correctly set. Store the tool in a dry place and wear appropriate hand protection when performing extensive pruning tasks.
