does not disappoint; the intelligent charging technology (smart IC) means the charging ports recognise the device and deliver the correct output needed, so there’s no waste. The device also has a built-in LED battery level indicator for added confidence. Charging is simple; the compact and lightweight solar panels can easily attach to a backpack to generate power on the move or charge when you are resting by placing them on the ground, against the car or tent. You have no need to worry about the weather either. A weatherproof layer protects the device from water, dust, knocks and drops.
For easy storage, the panels feature magnetic strips, which allow you to pack the power bank away quickly and easily; it folds up neatly to the size of an iPad. Each device is made from high-quality materials that are built to last and is backed up by a reassuring two-year guarantee.

FELCO garden tools are recognised as one of the finest in the world by horticulturalists, professional growers, and discerning gardeners. The FELCO Aluminium Lopper is another dimension in two-handed pruning. Its curved head allows for an easy cut, and the comfortable, ergonomic handles feature a soft, non-slip coating. The fine blade adjustment mechanism offers handy customisation for those more precise jobs, while the forged aluminium centrepiece ensures the mechanisms durability. The FELCO 640 curved pull-strop saw (inset picture) delivers serious cutting efficiency. Fast, stable, and safe; with comfort in use and a light feel that almost seems to conflict with the cutting power provided by the innovative blade shape. Sawdust is removed as quickly as you can cut for branches up to 10cm / 3.9 inches. The long blade design allows for truly efficient cutting, whilst the concave shape and teeth setting avoids clogging to ensure that wood shavings are no obstacle to a satisfying cut. The result is pruning that leaves branches clean and smooth. Manufactured since 1945 and designed with Swiss
precision and attention to detail, every FELCO is subject to more than 100 quality control processes before leaving the manufacturer.
Burton McCall Ltd are the UK distributor for FELCO.
