FELCO 330 - Fruit Clipper - Precision Harvesting Snip

FELCO 330 Fruit Clipper - Precision Harvesting Snip

The FELCO 330 is a specialized fruit clipper designed for the meticulous harvesting of small fruits and vegetables where the integrity of the produce is paramount. Featuring a short, straight cutting head with a uniquely thin profile, this tool allows the user to cut stems as close to the fruit as possible without causing skin damage. It is a lightweight, high-performance snip that prioritizes a "surgical" touch, ensuring that every piece of fruit harvested is market-ready and free from bruising or puncture.

Best For Professional pickers and home gardeners harvesting delicate fruits like apples, pears, and persimmons, as well as citrus where a flush, clean cut is required.

Key Features

• Thin Stainless Steel Blades: The ultra-slim cutting head is designed to slide between the fruit and the branch, allowing for a flush cut that prevents protruding stems from damaging other fruit in the picking bin.

• Corrosion Resistant: High-quality stainless steel blades ensure the tool remains impervious to the acidic juices and moisture common in fruit harvesting, maintaining a sharp edge for longer.

• Soft-Touch Spring Action: Features a flexible, high-frequency coil spring that provides a gentle opening action, minimizing the impact on the hand during thousands of daily repetitive movements.

• Ergonomic Lightweight Handles: The handles are designed to be lightweight and comfortable, featuring a non-slip coating that provides a secure grip even when hands are wet or covered in sap.

• Simple Safety Lock: Equipped with a practical thumb-locking catch, ensuring the blades stay closed when the tool is not in use, protecting both the user and the precision cutting edge.
