FELCO 331 - Premium Avocado and Mango Clipper - Drop-Forged Carbon Steel - Precision Harvesting Snips

FELCO 331 - Avocado & Mango Clipper - 138 mm Frame - Drop-Forged Carbon Steel Harvesting Snips

High-value tropical fruit demands harvesting tools that protect skin integrity and leave a consistent stem profile for post-harvest quality. The FELCO 331 is a professional bypass clipper engineered for avocados, mangoes, and similar crops, with geometry that minimises puncture risk and automatically delivers a clean 3 mm stalk length.

Drop-forged high-carbon steel blades glide through stems without bruising delicate fruit surfaces. Bright red polypropylene-coated handles maintain wet-weather grip and high visibility in dense orchard rows, while the integrated leather wrist strap reduces drop risk and grip fatigue across long commercial picking shifts at just 113 g net weight.

Best For: Commercial avocado orchardists, mango contractors, and tropical fruit growers who need reliable, non-slip bypass clippers for fast picking with strict quality control standards.

Key Features:

• Consistent 3 mm Stalk Control: Raised counter-blade section leaves a uniform 3 mm stalk, reducing flush-cut infections and transit puncture risk.
• Skin-Protection Blade Geometry: Bypass bevelled blades cut stems cleanly without bruising or piercing delicate fruit skin.
• Drop-Forged High-Carbon Steel: Exceptional edge retention and structural strength for relentless commercial orchard use.
• Non-Slip Polypropylene Handles: Bright red PP coating delivers wet-weather grip, high visibility, and long-lasting comfort.
• Integrated Leather Hand Strap: Premium wrist strap secures the tool, reduces fatigue, and frees fingers for fruit handling.
• Ultra-Lightweight Profile: 113 g across a 138 mm frame maximises picking efficiency and reduces repetitive strain.

Primary Cultivation Applications

• Avocado Harvesting: Clean stem cuts with the ideal button stalk length to reduce stem-end rot during ripening.
• Mango & Tropical Crops: Efficient clipping of mangoes, sapotes, and papayas without scraping exterior skin.
• High-Volume Orchard Picking: Uniform stem length for premium grading in dense citrus and tropical orchards.

Pro Tip & Maintenance: Sanitise blades between blocks or varieties to reduce disease transfer. Avoid cutting flush to the fruit shoulder; the counter-blade is designed to leave the correct stalk automatically. Rinse sap residue and dry thoroughly before end-of-shift storage.
