Two-hand bypass pruning lopper FELCO 22, 45 mm

The FELCO 22 two-hand bypass pruning lopper cuts branches up to 45 mm in diameter. Forged aluminium-alloy handles deliver strength without excessive weight. The tool measures 840 mm in total length. It weighs 1.98 kg. Ergonomic grips reduce hand strain during repetitive cutting tasks.

The bypass cutting system applies leverage efficiently. Rubber shock absorbers dampen impact forces. An adjustable cutting head allows precise blade alignment. A sap groove on the blade prevents resin build-up. The locking mechanism secures the handles during transport and storage.

Two-hand bypass pruning lopper construction and materials

Forged aluminium handles

Handles are forged from aluminium alloy for rigidity and corrosion resistance. The forging process increases grain density. This construction method supports the forces generated during heavy pruning. The handles carry a lifetime warranty against breakage under normal use conditions.

• Material: forged aluminium alloy
• Handle length: 840 mm
• Ergonomic grips: non-slip, phthalate-free
• Lifetime warranty on handles

The non-slip grips are moulded without phthalates. They provide secure hold in wet or dry conditions. The grip geometry distributes pressure across the palm. This reduces localized fatigue during extended pruning sessions.

Blade and cutting mechanism

The bypass blade is hardened through proprietary heat treatment. It cuts cleanly through green wood without crushing tissue. The sap groove channels resin away from the cutting edge. Blade replacement is tool-free for field maintenance.

• Cutting capacity: up to 45 mm diameter
• Blade type: bypass, heat-treated steel
• Sap groove: prevents blade sticking
• Adjustable cutting head: ensures precise alignment
• Tool-free blade replacement

The adjustable cutting head compensates for wear and maintains blade-to-anvil clearance. Proper adjustment promotes faster wound healing on pruned branches. The anvil is shaped to support the branch during the cut.

Shock absorption and ergonomics

Rubber shock absorbers are installed at the handle pivot. They absorb impact energy at the end of each cutting stroke. This feature reduces vibration transmitted to the user's hands and arms.

• Shock absorbers: rubber, replaceable
• Weight: 1.98 kg
• Adjustable locking mechanism for safe storage

The total weight of 1.98 kg balances cutting power with user comfort. The locking mechanism is adjustable to accommodate handle wear. It secures the tool in the closed position during transport.

Common applications

This lopper is suited to orchard maintenance, vineyard pruning, and landscape work. It handles mature wood in fruit trees and ornamental shrubs. The 840 mm reach allows ground-level cutting of overhead branches. Professional arborists use it for thinning and shaping tasks. Home gardeners apply it to seasonal pruning of roses, hedges, and small trees.

Maintenance and spare parts

Regular maintenance extends tool life and preserves cutting performance. Clean the blade after each use to remove sap and debris. Apply light oil to pivot points and the blade edge. Check cutting-head adjustment periodically. Replace worn shock absorbers and grips as needed. Genuine FELCO spare parts ensure compatibility and performance.
