Revolving-handle pruning shear FELCO 7, 25 mm

Revolving-handle pruning shear cuts branches up to 25 mm diameter with reduced operator effort. The rotating grip moves on its axis during each cut. This motion distributes force across all hand muscles. Cutting force drops by approximately 30 percent compared to fixed-handle models. The angled cutting head aligns naturally with hand position. Forged aluminum body weighs 290 g and carries a lifetime warranty. Hardened steel blade maintains edge sharpness through heavy use.

Rubber shock absorbers cushion each cut to protect wrist joints. The non-slip grip coating contains no phthalates. A sap groove prevents resin buildup on the blade. A wire-cutting notch handles cord without dulling the main edge. Micro-metric adjustment allows precise blade alignment for clean cuts that promote fast wound healing.

Revolving-handle pruning shear construction and materials

Rotating grip mechanism

The revolving handle rotates on a central axis during the cutting stroke.

This rotation engages different muscle groups in sequence. Effort spreads evenly across the palm and fingers. The mechanism reduces peak force required at the moment of cut. Fatigue and blister formation decrease during extended pruning sessions.

• Rotating grip axis distributes cutting force across hand muscles
• Cutting force reduction approximately 30 percent versus fixed handles
• Forged aluminum body with lifetime warranty
• Total length 210 mm
• Weight 290 g
• Non-slip grip coating, phthalate-free

The angled cutting head positions the blade naturally in line with the forearm. This geometry minimizes wrist deviation. Rubber shock absorbers at the handle base cushion impact forces. The design reduces strain during repetitive cuts over long work periods.

Blade and cutting system

Hardened steel blade cuts branches up to 25 mm diameter.

The bypass design places a sharp blade against a counter-blade. This configuration produces a clean shearing cut. A sap groove channels resin away from the cutting edge. The wire-cutting notch handles cord and twine without damaging the main blade.

• Maximum cutting diameter 25 mm
• Hardened steel blade, high edge retention
• Bypass cutting action for clean cuts
• Sap groove prevents resin buildup
• Wire-cutting notch for cord and twine
• Micro-metric adjustment for blade alignment

Micro-metric adjustment allows fine-tuning of blade-to-counter-blade clearance. Proper adjustment ensures clean cuts without crushing plant tissue. The mechanism compensates for blade wear over time. All cutting components are replaceable for extended tool life.

Common applications

This revolving-handle pruning shear suits vineyard work, orchard maintenance, and landscape pruning.

The rotating grip reduces hand fatigue during high-volume cutting tasks. Operators working with hardwood species benefit from the force reduction. The tool handles rose canes, fruit tree branches, and ornamental shrubs up to 25 mm diameter. The angled head and rotating grip combination suits users with wrist or hand conditions that limit grip strength.
