Product Information
Full details
The Felco 322 snips are precision-engineered cutting tools designed for professional gardeners, florists, and hobbyists who require clean cuts in tight spaces when harvesting fruit or pruning delicate plants. These snips offer exceptional control and reduced hand strain due to their ergonomic design and shock-absorbing mechanism; however, they are intended for lighter cutting tasks and should not be used on woody branches or thick stems that exceed the blade's capacity.

FAQs
Are these snips suitable for pruning thick tree branches?
No. The Felco 322 is designed specifically for delicate pruning and harvesting; using them on thick, woody stems can damage or misalign the blades.
Can I sharpen the blades myself?
Yes, you can use a fine sharpening stone, but maintain the original curve of the blade to ensure the two edges meet perfectly.
Are these tools left-hand friendly?
Yes, the design is completely ambidextrous, making them equally comfortable for left-handed and right-handed users.
How do I lock the snips when finished?
The snips include a locking mechanism near the handle base; gently squeeze the handles to engage or disengage the lock.
How much do the snips weigh?
The Model 322 weighs approximately 111.5 grams.
Troubleshooting
The blades feel sticky or slow to open
Clean the blade surfaces and pivot area with a degreaser or alcohol to remove sap, then re-apply a small drop of lubricant to the pivot point.
The spring seems to be losing tension
Check the spring mounting point for debris and ensure it is properly seated in the grooves; if it continues to fail, contact the manufacturer for a replacement part.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight for all-day comfort
- High-precision cutting in dense or delicate areas
- Durable chrome-plated steel resists corrosion
- Comfortable grip reduces hand fatigue during intensive use
Cons
- Not suitable for heavy-duty pruning or woody stems
- Curved blades require specific maintenance to stay sharp
- Smaller handle profile may feel tight for users with very large hands
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These snips arrive ready to use right out of the box with no complex assembly required. To maintain peak performance, wipe the blades clean with a soft cloth after each use to remove sap or plant debris, which can accumulate and stick the blades. Periodically apply a thin coat of machine oil to the pivot point and the blades to prevent oxidation and ensure the spring movement remains fluid. Store in a dry environment and use the locking mechanism when not in use to keep the blades closed and protected.
