There’s no shortage of excellent compact tools for multi-purpose requirements, from casual tasks around the garden to getting out of a tight spot on a remote camping trip. The brand FELCO has provided a great selection of tools for all occasions, with the latest addition being the FELCO 601 Folding Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw.
While the “Swiss-made” insignia is slightly misleading, since the 601 Folding Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw is manufactured in South Korea, the overall construction remains in line with the iconic Swiss army knives. Delivering an exceptionally strong chrome-plated, carbon steel blade, it features off-set dual-designed fangs for precise cutting.
Retract the saw into the closed position and everything is tightly concealed to prevent accidental catching and opening. Once the blade is fully extended, it locks firmly in place and can be released with a single press to return to the handle. The result is a smooth and secure mechanism with reliable action for ease of carry and use.
In terms of performance, the 601 Folding Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw is a workhorse, capably cutting through inches-thick branches and making short work of wood ready for the campfire. Thanks to the optimization of the teeth, fine wood chips are evacuated from the blade to prevent sawdust from collecting in cavities.
It’s also incredibly compact and lightweight, weighing just 5oz and measuring a pocket-sized 7 inches when folded up. With its striking red and black handle delivering a stylish finishing touch, the FELCO 601 Folding Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw is a versatile bladed tool for gardening and outdoor enthusiasts.
