Suited to arboriculture and forestry work, some viticulture work, parks and gardens, and landscapers, the brand-new FELCO battery-powered pruning shears, the FELCO 820, was conceived in the heart of the Watch Valley. A detailed look at this versatile tool.
The FELCO 820, a complete pruning solution
The latest addition to the FELCO brand is a battery-powered pruning shear named FELCO 820. Entirely designed, engineered and produced in Switzerland, in Neuchâtel, in the heart of the watchmaking industry, it proudly bears the Swiss made logo.
The specifications that guided its design are simple: to provide the Swiss company's customers with an electric pruning shear that is powerful, fast, reliable, easy to handle and versatile. This versatility makes the FELCO 820 ideal for a range of uses: from arboriculture to forestry, including parks and gardens, landscaping and even viticulture, the FELCO 820 is the perfect tool for all types of pruning.
Features of the FELCO 820
With a cutting diameter ranging from 1 to 45 mm, the FELCO 820 offers power unmatched on the market.
It guarantees a clean, precise cut, whatever the cutting diameter. By promoting rapid healing of the wood, the FELCO 820 preserves the health of the plant. In addition, the pull-cut head is particularly useful when working at height: the wood is not pushed away at the moment of cutting. Fast opening and closing save precious time during pruning.
The progressive mode allows fine control of the blade's movement according to the pressure applied to the trigger, both when opening and closing. This makes it easy to work your way between branches.
A notable innovation of the FELCO 820: a double press on the trigger activates the half-opening. The result is a significant time saving on small and medium cuts. Pressing the trigger again switches back to the larger diameter. With this clever system, there is no more need to juggle between the electric pruning shear and the saw.
Thanks to its stand-by mode, the tool and pruning accessories (ladder, harness, etc.) can be handled in complete safety.
Light and slim, the carrying system provides optimal comfort and excellent autonomy. It accepts either one battery or two, regardless of their respective charge levels: the user carries only what is needed according to their requirements. The harness adjusts in the blink of an eye, allowing the user to change quickly. Close to the body, it ensures complete freedom of movement. The carrying system (with its batteries) is fully compatible with the FELCO 800 and FELCO 810.
The ultra-flexible cord slips through one of the loops positioned on each shoulder and avoids snagging in branches. Its ideal length allows work with either the right or the left hand. Whether you are right-handed or left-handed, or need to switch hands during pruning, the FELCO 820 guarantees maximum versatility in all circumstances.
The ultra-light, slim batteries recharge in 2 hours. A clever Kers-type system (used in Formula 1 cars) recovers the energy produced when the blade brakes and thus extends the FELCO 820's autonomy by more than 10%. A USB port allows, for example, a mobile phone or a MP3 player to be charged.
Die-stamped aluminium gives the body of the tool exceptional rigidity and longevity. In addition, a sophisticated system ensures protection against dust and other cutting debris.
Add to this easy and quick maintenance, a screen built into the remote unit displaying a wealth of useful information (such as remaining battery life, the number of cuts or even diagnostic assistance...), a grease bolt that lubricates and reduces wear while repelling water, and a storage case containing the essential accessories for regular maintenance of the tool... There is no doubt: the latest product from the company based in Les Geneveys-sur-Coffrane is much more than an electric pruning shear, it is a true complete pruning solution.
