ELECTROCOUP pruning shear 3rd generation.
The ELECTROCOUP PLUS was an improvement on the product’s weight and speed.

The slogan “the lightest, fastest, most powerful” was the obvious choice for the advertising campaign.
With its 150 cuts per minute, the slogan was officially recognised and approved by its users.

ELECTROCOUP pruning shear 4th generation.
The F3000 was a genuine evolution in INFACO’s story. The cam drive system was replaced by a pinion / rack system.
This made it possible for the blade to move back before the cutting head was fully closed.
As for the batteries, they moved on from Lead to Nickel Cadmium, and the first adjustable blade opening appeared on this model. The innovations on the model were highly appreciated by users and resulted in a significant upturn for INFACO.

ELECTROCOUP pruning shear 5th generation.
The changes between the F3000 and F3002 were mainly in terms of weight. The pruning shears and battery took advantage of technological improvements to offer a significantly improved carried weight.
The pruning shears became slimmer and the battery switched to Ni-Mh (Nickel - Metal hydride) which was much more efficient than Ni-Cd. This battery technology has no “memory effect” and is a genuine simplification in use and charging / discharging management.

ELECTROCOUP pruning shear 6th generation.
The F3005 was a major evolution that users had been awaiting for many years. In 2004, the blade movement became “coupled” to the finger pressure on the trigger. Once again, this progressiveness was a significant booster for the brand.
By including the control electronics directly into the shear, the power supply cable was simplified and the tool made more reliable. A cut-prevention safety system was commercialised on a wide scale. Operating using a metal sensor inside the counter-blade, wearing a chain mail glove was nevertheless required for the safety system’s conductivity.

ELECTROCOUP pruning shear 7th generation.
The F3010 was the first model that came with the possibility of replacing the cutting head by a “Maxi” head directly on site for coppicing work (large cuts).
The batteries, historically worn as a belt, were changed into an inverted “T” and included in a vest providing the user optimum work comfort thanks to its finesse and flexibility.
The DSES cut prevention safety system (cable version) was modified. All the cutting head parts become conductive, providing triggering using touch detection.

ELECTROCOUP pruning shear 8th generation.
The brand best seller.
Everything was capitalised on in the F3015: power, speed, weight, ergonomics, kit compatibility, Wireless DSES safety option (patented), new Brushless motor technology, not to mention reliability.
A 60% more lightweight and more compact Lithium-Ion battery. It easily fits in trouser pockets or can be clipped onto trouser belts.
This model became the world’s best-selling model and put INFACO in the position of the unchallenged leader on the professional electric pruning shear market.
