The FELCO 160S Small Pruner is an exceptionally lightweight, right-handed anvil pruner engineered in Switzerland for gardeners with small to medium hands. Weighing just 6.2 oz (175g) with a compact 7.9" (200mm) length, it handles everyday pruning tasks — trimming roses, cutting back perennials, harvesting herbs, and shaping shrubs — with minimal hand fatigue. The high-strength fiberglass composite handles are both recyclable and ergonomically shaped for a comfortable, secure grip session after session.
A hardened steel cutting blade pairs with a screw-mounted brass anvil blade for clean, precise cuts on branches up to 0.8" (20mm) in diameter. The blade features a sap groove to reduce sticking, and the simple, very stable blade adjustment system keeps cutting performance dialed in over time. All wear parts are replaceable, making this pruner a long-term investment for your garden. Browse our full selection of FELCO Pruning Shears or explore all Garden Tools & Accessories.

Is the FELCO 160S a bypass or anvil pruner?
The FELCO 160S is an anvil-type pruner, meaning it has a single hardened steel cutting blade that closes against a flat brass anvil blade.
Anvil pruners are excellent for cutting dry stems, woody growth, and general garden clean-up. For very delicate green stems where a clean, bark-preserving cut is critical, a bypass pruner may be preferred.
What hand size is the FELCO 160S designed for?
The FELCO 160S is sized specifically for small to medium hands.
If you are unsure of your fit, FELCO offers a hand sizing chart available for download on their website to help you choose the right model.
Can I replace the blade if it gets dull or damaged?
Yes — all wear parts on the FELCO 160S are individually replaceable, including the cutting blade and anvil blade.
This makes the FELCO 160S a long-term garden tool rather than a disposable one. Replacement parts are available directly from FELCO.
