FELCO 221-70 - Lopper - Straight Cutting Head (70 cm)

FELCO 221-70 Lopper - Straight Cutting Head (70 cm)

The FELCO 221-70 is a heavy-duty professional lopper designed for those who need significant reach and high-leverage power. At 70 cm (27.6 inches) in length, it is one of the larger models in the FELCO range, providing the mechanical advantage necessary to cut through thicker branches with minimal physical exertion. The straight cutting head is precision-engineered for accuracy, allowing the user to make clean, surgical bypass cuts deep within the canopy or at height. Combining robust forged aluminum handles with FELCO’s legendary Swiss steel, the 221-70 is built for the most demanding commercial pruning environments.

Best For Arborists, commercial fruit growers, and landscape professionals who require an extended reach and maximum leverage for thinning and maintenance tasks in large orchards, parks, or mature estates.

Key Features

• Extended 70cm Reach: The long-reach handles provide a superior mechanical advantage, making it easier to slice through tough wood while allowing the user to reach higher branches safely from the ground.

• Precision Straight Head: The tapered straight blade geometry is designed for high-accuracy pruning, enabling clean cuts flush against the trunk and easy navigation through dense, woody growth.

• Forged Aluminum Strength: Built with high-strength forged aluminum alloy handles, ensuring the tool is virtually indestructible yet remains balanced and lightweight enough for extended daily use.

• Advanced Impact Protection: Includes integrated rubber shock absorbers that dampen the vibrations at the end of each cut, protecting the wrists, arms, and shoulders from repetitive strain.

• Full Serviceability: Designed as a lifelong investment, every component of the FELCO 221-70 is replaceable, ensuring the tool can be maintained at peak performance for decades.
