Upper blade FELCO 6/3 F-Tech, anti-friction coating, for FELCO 6 and 12

Upper blade FELCO 6/3 F-Tech, compatible with FELCO pruning shears no. 6 and 12. FELCO F-Tech blades are fitted with an anti-friction coating. The coating reduces the friction between the blades themselves and the branch being cut. In addition, the F-Tech coating protects the blade against corrosion, scratches and cracking.

The FELCO F-Tech coating reduces frictional force by more than 30% on the first cuts*. Due to the significantly lower friction, pruning goes much smoother, even with harder wood or thicker branches. This makes pruning less strenuous and the F-Tech coating contributes to improved ergonomics.

The blade is protected by the FELCO F-Tech coating against adhesion of plant sap, bacteria and other contamination. This contributes to a better pruning result and a clean cut. The coating also extends the lifespan of the upper blade.

FELCO F-Tech is a water-based coating composed of nanocomposites.


*The friction reduction was tested on hardwood with a diameter of 12 mm. Depending on use, the reduced friction force decreases to approximately 13% after 500 to 1000 cuts. The F-Tech coating still delivers a clearly noticeable difference in reduced friction force compared to a standard upper blade.
