FELCO 7/3 F-TECH - Replacement Blade (F-Tech Coated)

FELCO 7/3 F-TECH Replacement Blade (F-Tech Coated)

The FELCO 7/3 F-TECH is a high-performance upgrade for FELCO’s flagship ergonomic shears, featuring an advanced F-Tech non-stick coating. Specifically engineered for the FELCO 7 and FELCO 8, this blade represents the pinnacle of Swiss cutting technology. The specialized black coating drastically reduces friction as the blade passes through wood, making each cut feel significantly lighter and smoother. Additionally, the F-Tech surface acts as a powerful shield against sap buildup and corrosion, ensuring that even when pruning the stickiest fruit trees or resinous evergreens, the blade glides effortlessly without gumming up.

Best For Professional arborists and vineyard managers who use the FELCO 7 or 8 for high-volume daily pruning and want to maximize efficiency while minimizing hand fatigue.

Key Features

• F-Tech Low-Friction Coating: The proprietary surface treatment allows the blade to glide through branches with minimal resistance, which is essential for reducing the physical load on the hand and wrist.

• Advanced Sap Management: The non-stick properties prevent organic residues from adhering to the blade, keeping the bypass action smooth and fast throughout the entire workday.
