Felco 14 pruning shears Bypass Red Aluminium Handle

Felco 14 pruning shears Bypass Red Aluminium Handle are lightweight, precision pruning tools designed for cutting stems, flowers and small branches. The bypass cutting system provides clean shear cuts suitable for live plant material, while the red aluminium handle offers corrosion resistance and reduced weight for extended use. These shears combine accurate cutting performance with ergonomically considered dimensions to support routine garden maintenance.

Advantages

The bypass cutting mechanism ensures smooth, precise cuts that help minimise damage to plant tissues. The aluminium handle reduces overall tool weight without sacrificing strength and provides improved manoeuvrability during repetitive tasks. The compact design and sharp cutting blade make close, controlled pruning around delicate flowers and shrubs straightforward. The red finish increases visibility in a tool bag or on a workbench.

Suitable for

• Pruning flowers and ornamental plants
• Trimming small branches and shoots
• Routine hedge and shrub maintenance
• Home gardening and light professional use

Key specifications

• Cutting type: bypass shear for live stems
• Handle material: aluminium for reduced weight
• Handle colour: red for visibility
• Intended cutting diameter: small branches and stems (flower and shrub pruning)
• Blade characteristic: sharp, precision cutting edge
• Use profile: handheld, manual pruning tool

How to use

Position the bypass blades around the stem you intend to cut, placing the thicker blade beneath the stem and the thinner blade above. Apply steady pressure to close the blades and execute a single, clean cut close to the node or bud without crushing the tissue. For thicker small branches, approach the cut at a slight angle to facilitate clean separation. Keep fingers clear of the cutting edge and use the locking mechanism when the shears are not in use.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean the blades after use to remove sap and debris, and apply a light oil to the pivot point to maintain smooth action. Sharpen the cutting edge as needed to preserve clean cuts and avoid tearing plant tissue. Store the shears in a dry place to prevent corrosion of non-aluminium components and check for wear on the blade and pivot before seasonal heavy use.
