FELCO 990 - Synthetic Grease - VOC-Free Lubricant

FELCO 990 Synthetic Grease - VOC-Free Lubricant

The FELCO 990 is a professional-grade, synthetic lithium-based grease designed specifically for the long-term maintenance of FELCO pruning shears and loppers. This VOC-free (Volatile Organic Compound) lubricant is engineered to be applied to the grease pocket of your tools, reducing friction and wear on the central bolt and spring mechanisms. Unlike liquid lubricants, the high-viscosity nature of the 990 ensures it stays exactly where it’s needed, providing a durable protective barrier against moisture and sap. By maintaining the internal mechanical tension of your tools, FELCO 990 ensures the smooth, effortless cutting action that professionals rely on every day.

Best For Professional users and serious gardeners who perform regular tool teardowns and maintenance to ensure their equipment remains in peak mechanical condition.

Key Features

• High-Performance Lubrication: The synthetic lithium-base provides exceptional reduction in friction, preventing the "metal-on-metal" wear that can degrade the central bolt and nut over time.

• VOC-Free and Biodegradable: An environmentally friendly formula that allows for safe application without toxic fumes, making it ideal for use in agricultural environments.

• Water and Sap Resistant: Its water-repellent properties protect internal components from rust and corrosion, even when working in wet conditions or with resinous wood.

• Durable Staying Power: Because it is a thick grease rather than a thin oil, it resists being washed away or drying out, meaning you can go longer between deep-maintenance sessions.

• Essential for Tool Longevity: Helps maintain the "factory feel" of your FELCO tools, ensuring the cutting head remains perfectly aligned and the spring action stays snappy.
