Setup
The FELCO F910 holster offers two primary methods for attachment to your belt or clothing:
- Belt Loop Attachment: Thread your belt through the two vertical slots located at the top rear of the holster. Ensure the belt is fully inserted through both loops for a secure fit. This method provides a stable and fixed position for the holster on your belt.
- Clip Attachment: Utilize the metal clip located on the back of the holster. Slide the clip over the edge of your pants, pocket, or belt. This method allows for quick attachment and removal, offering flexibility in placement.

Operating
The FELCO F910 holster is designed for easy insertion and removal of various hand tools, primarily pruning shears, wire cutters, and folding saws. To use:
- Tool Insertion: Hold the holster steady with one hand. With the other hand, carefully slide the tool (e.g., pruning shears) into the main compartment of the holster, blade-first if applicable, ensuring the handles are easily accessible. The molded fit of the leather will securely hold the tool in place.
- Tool Removal: Grasp the handle of the tool firmly and pull it upwards and out of the holster. The design allows for smooth, single-handed operation.
Initially, the leather may feel stiff. Repeated insertion and removal of your tools will help the leather conform to their shape, making the process smoother over time.
Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your FELCO F910 leather holster:
- Cleaning: Wipe the holster with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a high-quality leather conditioner, such as mink oil or a specialized leather protector. This will help keep the leather supple, prevent drying and cracking, and enhance its water resistance. Apply according to the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
- Drying: If the holster becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., hair dryers, radiators) as this can cause the leather to shrink, stiffen, or crack.
- Storage: Store the holster in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Holster feels too stiff or tight for tools. | New leather is naturally stiff and needs to be broken in. | Repeatedly insert and remove your tools. The leather will gradually stretch and mold to the shape of your tools, becoming more pliable over time. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften it. |
| Leather appears dry or cracked. | Lack of conditioning or exposure to harsh conditions. | Clean the holster and apply a suitable leather conditioner or protector. Ensure proper storage away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. |
| Holster does not stay securely on belt/pants. | Incorrect attachment method or worn clip/belt loops. | Ensure your belt is fully threaded through both belt loops. If using the clip, verify it is firmly gripping the fabric. Inspect the clip and loops for any signs of damage or wear. |
