Leather holster for pruning shears FELCO 910

The FELCO 910 holster is made from genuine cowhide in the United States. It attaches to belts via loop or clip. The leather construction resists punctures and protects modular pruning shears from impact. Reinforced stitching and polished rivets secure the seams.

FELCO pruning shears feature modular designs that allow disassembly for part replacement. This holster prevents loss and damage during field work. The thick cowhide withstands blade contact without tearing.

Leather Holster for Pruning Shears: Construction and Materials

Genuine Cowhide Construction

The holster uses full-grain cowhide tanned for durability. The leather resists abrasion and moisture. Double-stitched seams and metal rivets reinforce stress points. The material thickness prevents blade penetration while maintaining flexibility for tool insertion and removal.

• Material: genuine cowhide leather
• Origin: manufactured in USA
• Stitching: reinforced double thread
• Hardware: polished metal rivets
• Finish: natural leather with protective treatment

The holster interior features a soft lining that cushions tools against scratches. The exterior surface resists dirt and can be wiped clean. Natural leather develops a patina over time without compromising structural integrity.

Attachment System

Two attachment methods accommodate different belt types and user preferences. The integrated loop slides over belts up to 50 mm wide. A spring-loaded clip provides quick-release attachment for tactical belts or work harnesses. Both systems hold the holster securely during movement.

• Belt loop: fits belts up to 50 mm width
• Clip attachment: spring-loaded metal clip
• Orientation: vertical carry position
• Retention: friction fit with leather compression

The vertical orientation positions shear handles upward for single-hand retrieval. The holster mouth compresses around the tool body to prevent accidental loss while allowing smooth extraction.

The holster does not fit anvil-style pruners or cable cutters with significantly different body profiles. Users should verify tool dimensions before purchase if using non-standard FELCO models.

Common Applications

Arborists and vineyard workers use the holster to keep pruning shears accessible during canopy work. Landscapers attach it to tool belts for residential and commercial maintenance. Orchard managers equip field crews with holsters to reduce tool loss in large operations. The holster suits any environment where frequent pruning requires immediate tool access without setting down equipment.

Technical Specifications

The holster measures approximately 230 mm in height and 80 mm in width. Weight remains under 150 grams to avoid belt sag. The leather thickness ranges from 2.5 mm to 3.0 mm for puncture resistance. Color options include black and brown depending on availability.
