What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

It also gives 80 cm as the blade length, while manufacturer text describes 80 cm as the lopper's overall length.

Frequently asked questions

What type of lopper is the FELCO F231?

It is listed as a curved anvil lopper with cam-assisted action, intended for cutting hard or dead wood.

How long is the FELCO F231?

The listing gives 80 Centimetres, but labels this as blade length in one detail. Manufacturer text describes the tool as 80 cm long, so confirm the intended measurement before buying.

What is the blade made from?

The listing conflicts: its title says hardened steel, but its technical details say aluminium. The blade material is therefore unconfirmed by the supplied page.

Does the listing include a guarantee?

The feature text claims a lifetime guarantee and says all parts are replaceable. The supplied details do not set out guarantee terms.
