FELCO 8 + FELCO 701XL
One-Hand Pruning Shear - High Performance - Ergonomic
13 Gauge HPPE Workwear Gloves Knitted w/ Nitrile Coating, Red & Black
Description
The high degree of comfort you will experience from these pruning shears / secateurs comes from the exceptional ergonomics explicit in the FELCO design. The angled cutting head safely prevents the tool slipping in your hand, while ensuring that the FELCO 8 effectively becomes a part of you - to deliver ease of use, comfort that is immediately evident, along with less likelihood of muscle fatigue early on in your pruning tasks. The comfortable feel is reinforced by the rubber shock absorbers which contribute in reducing the cutting strain on your wrists, along with a handle shape which specifically optimises the force you are able to apply to your chosen cut. The precision setting mechanism also makes it possible to adjust the cutting head as you require.
Highly resistant to abrasion and tearing, FELCO 701 gloves are made from 13-gauge HPPE (high performance polyethylene) fibre.
The “gauge” refers to the thickness of the weave, its value expressing the number of stitches per 2.5 cm of glove. Thus, 13-gauge gloves like FELCO 701 are finely woven, which increases the density and thus the tightness of the knitted fabric.
The palm is coated with nitrile rubber for better grip and greater strength. Elastic sewn into the base of the wrist ensures a perfect fit.
