Key Features

• Triangular Cutting Action: FELCO’s signature triangular cut prevents wire from being crushed or deformed, ensuring a clean, precise shear every time.

• One-Handed Operation: Designed for efficiency, the handles are shaped to allow maximum leverage with one hand, leaving the other hand free to handle the wire or maintain balance.

• Hardened Steel Blades: The blades and center bolt are made of high-quality hardened steel, engineered to maintain their edge even when repeatedly cutting high-tensile barbed wire.

• Compact "Commando" Design: Small enough to be carried in a pocket or holster, yet powerful enough to handle barbed wire up to 5mm in diameter.

• Reliable Safety Catch: Features a thumb-operated locking catch that keeps the tool securely closed when not in use, protecting the blades and the user during transport.
