FELCO 5/35 - Replacement Handle

FELCO 5/35 Replacement Handle 

The FELCO 5/35 is the genuine factory replacement grip designed specifically for the FELCO 5 "Standard" model pruners. Unlike the forged aluminum handles of other models, the FELCO 5 features robust pressed steel handles, making the protective coating essential for both comfort and tool longevity. This replacement sleeve is made from FELCO’s signature phthalate-free, non-slip synthetic material, providing a durable, cushioned layer that protects the steel from corrosion while ensuring a secure hold. Replacing a worn coating restores the essential ergonomics required to manage the powerful cutting action of this heavy-duty tool.

Best For Owners of the FELCO 5 who want to replace weathered, cracked, or thin handle grips to improve comfort, grip safety, and rust protection.

Key Features

• Steel Handle Protection: Specifically designed to tightly encase the pressed steel handles of the FELCO 5, providing a barrier against moisture and preventing surface rust.

• Signature Non-Slip Texture: Features the authentic FELCO pebbled finish, ensuring the tool remains firmly in your hand even when working with sap-covered gloves or in wet conditions.

• Impact Cushioning: The thick synthetic material provides essential padding for the palm, which is particularly important for the high-force cutting tasks typically performed with the FELCO 5.

• Phthalate-Free Material: Manufactured using skin-safe, eco-friendly compounds that offer a soft touch without sacrificing the rugged durability needed for agricultural work.

• Direct Factory Fit: Precision-molded for a seamless mechanical fit, ensuring the coating won’t shift or slide under the high pressure of heavy pruning.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Heavy-Duty Refurbishment: Refreshing the grips on high-use agricultural tools where the original coating has been worn down by years of intensive branch thinning.

• Rust Prevention: Ensuring the underlying steel frame of the FELCO 5 remains protected from the elements, extending the tool’s overall lifespan.

• Cold Weather Pruning: Restoring the thermal insulation that keeps the chill of the metal handles away from the user’s hand during winter maintenance.

• Tool Visibility: Maintaining the vibrant FELCO red color, making it easy to identify your equipment on the job site or in the garden shed.

Pro Tip: Because the FELCO 5 handles are steel, ensure any surface rust is removed and the metal is dry before sliding on the new coating. A light spray of hairspray or a dip in warm, soapy water will help the new grip slide into place and then "set" firmly as it dries.
