FELCO 800: The new generation -
Thirteen years after revolutionising the world of pruning by launching the now famous FELCOtronic electric pruning shears with electronic controls, and eight years after giving it an even more efficient little brother, FELCO is once again demonstrating its innovative strength by launching an outstanding model this year that makes its predecessors look like museum pieces.

Given FELCO's exceptional reputation among professionals in the world of pruning – such as wine growers or tree cultivators – the arrival of its new electronic tool will be widely discussed between the lines of vines and fruit trees. Since, as the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, why fix it?", the question is bound to be raised: why change the FELCOtronic 82?

There are times when manufacturers could be suspected of renewing their range just to keep their machines up and running, and at times they simply make changes to design or colour. In this case, however, the changes are not simply cosmetic, they are technical. When a tool is universally acclaimed and satisfies professional users to such an extent, one could debate whether changing anything at all is a wise move. This is why FELCO waited until they had perfected the new 800 before releasing it, improving each aspect using only the best designers, engineers and manufacturers available.

Technical progress is constant, and FELCO are more than aware that what is important is the development of the useful applications such as longevity and power. Far from being a flashy gadget, the appearance of the basic tool has changed little and the new technology is integrated discreetly.

If we were to choose three words to describe the new model, they would be "Powerful", "Lightweight" and "Ergonomic". We could also add "Comfort" thanks to its increased autonomy and the fact that the efforts of the designers identified and focused on the sensitive areas. Combining a more powerful motor that ensures increased performance, with a model that is unparalleled on the market for its lightness thanks to the revolutionary new Li-Ion batteries, was bound to provide enhanced ergonomics and greater ease of use. For professionals, days spent cutting are long, and the less strain the arm and shoulder muscles are subjected to the better. FELCO has always successfully pursued this goal of satisfying professionals in the area of cutting who use these tools continually and intensively.

Cutting-edge advantages

The quality of the body in drop-forged, anodised aluminium is such that the manufacturer guarantees it for life – which speaks for itself. The body alone possesses every possible advantage in terms of performance, and as regards mechanical resistance it provides the valued rigidity of the tool while protecting its vital parts.

The cutting system itself – which has made a reputation for the brand – remains superior: the cutting head in hardened steel, the coating on the blade that reduces the work effort, the precise adjustment system and the progressive cut that guarantees both precision and efficiency.

The tool is one thing, its power source another. Here FELCO has made great strides. The battery pack with charge indicator is ultra-light (1.8 kg / 3.97 lb.) thanks to a new type of accumulator, available in a portable electric tool for the first time.
The guaranteed autonomy is for one full day's cutting, and that for three years. The belt and harness provide good weight distribution. Simple to use, the charger requires no maintenance and adapts to all the world's electrical standards.

Designed for professionals in the sectors of wine growing and tree cultivation, the FELCO 800 is also, of course, ideal for horticulture and the maintenance of gardens, parks and forests.
