FELCO 990-1 - High-Performance Synthetic Pruning Tool Grease - Biodegradable Lithium/Calcium Base - Water-Repellent Formula

FELCO 990-1 - High-Performance Synthetic Pruning Tool Grease - Biodegradable Lithium/Calcium Base - Water-Repellent Formula

Heavy visual friction and metallic grating between a pruner's blade and anvil can rapidly exhaust an operator and dull a precision edge. The FELCO 990-1 is a professional-grade, high-viscosity synthetic maintenance grease explicitly formulated to lubricate high-contact friction zones on manual pruning shears, heavy-duty loppers, and cable cutters. Blending excellent water-repellent coverage with a stable, thick consistency, this premium lubricant populates internal grease pockets to preserve ultra-smooth mechanical action while defending internal components against corrosive plant saps and harsh elements.

Best For
Commercial viticulturists, fruit tree orchardists, professional greenkeepers, and arborist crews requiring a heavy-duty, field-stable lubricant to eliminate metal-on-metal friction and stop structural tool wear.

Key Features

• Advanced Lithium/Calcium Grease Compound: Formulated with a specialised synthetic lithium and calcium complex base that delivers exceptional surface adhesion, preventing the grease from breaking down or running under extreme mechanical pressure.
• Eco-Friendly Biodegradable Recipe: Engineered to be completely biodegradable, ensuring that any microscopic residue transferred to tree wounds or soil during intensive pruning operations remains non-toxic and environmentally responsible.
• Industrial Water-Repellent Defence: Features a highly water-resistant formula that refuses to wash out when exposed to heavy morning dew, sudden downpours, or sticky, moisture-laden organic tree sap.
• Targeted Contact-Zone Colour Lubrication: Perfect for direct application within the integrated grease pockets located between the blade and anvil counter-blade, ensuring continuous smooth movement on every single compression.
• Tool Longevity Enhancement: Actively reduces deep friction wear and scoring on moving steel parts, directly extending the service lifespan of your primary cutting equipment and reducing part replacement cycles.
• Convenient 30g Field Tube: Packaged in a compact, portable 30 g squeeze tube that slips easily into tool bags, vehicle glove boxes, or canvas maintenance rolls for instant structural touch-ups during long shifts.

Sizes Available

• Available in Compact 30 g (1 oz.) Precision Squeeze Tube.
