FELCO 17 - One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic Rotating (Left-Hand)

FELCO 17 One-Hand Pruning Shear - Compact Ergonomic Rotating (Left-Hand)

The FELCO 17 is the definitive ergonomic solution for left-handed users with medium-sized hands who demand the highest level of comfort and efficiency. As the compact version of the FELCO 10, this model incorporates the revolutionary rotating handle into a smaller frame tailored for left-handed ergonomics. The handle moves on its axis as you squeeze, distributing the cutting pressure across all fingers and reducing physical effort by up to 30%. This prevents the friction that leads to blisters and provides unparalleled protection against repetitive strain during intensive pruning.

Best For Left-handed professionals, florists, and dedicated gardeners with medium hands who perform high-frequency pruning and require a lightweight, compact tool with maximum ergonomic support.

Key Features

• Dedicated Left-Hand Geometry: Mirroring the specialized architecture of the FELCO 12, this tool is engineered specifically for left-handed use, ensuring a clear line of sight and natural wrist alignment.

• Ergonomic Rotating Handle: The lower handle rotates with the natural movement of your fingers, significantly reducing the force required for each cut and protecting the user from carpal tunnel and joint fatigue.

• Compact Tapered Head: Features a slimmed-down bypass cutting head that allows for exceptional maneuverability in tight spaces, making it perfect for precision thinning and detailed maintenance.

• Forged Aluminum Construction: The handles are crafted from high-strength drop-forged aluminum alloy, offering a lightweight yet virtually indestructible foundation that is backed by a lifetime guarantee.

• Micrometric Precision: Includes FELCO’s signature adjustment system, allowing you to fine-tune the blade tension for a smooth, surgical-grade cut that promotes rapid plant healing.
