FELCO 14/3 F-TECH - Replacement Blade (F-Tech Coated)

FELCO 14/3 F-TECH Replacement Blade (F-Tech Coated)

The FELCO 14/3 F-TECH is a specialized, high-performance upgrade for FELCO’s compact pruning shears, featuring an advanced F-Tech non-stick coating. Designed specifically for the smaller frames of the FELCO 14 and FELCO 15 (Left-Handed), this blade brings professional-grade surface technology to ergonomic tools. The black F-Tech coating significantly reduces friction during the cutting stroke, allowing the blade to glide through wood with even less effort. This treatment also acts as a powerful barrier against sap buildup and corrosion, making it the ultimate choice for pruning resinous plants or working in humid conditions where tool cleanliness and efficiency are paramount.

Best For Professional florists, viticulturists, and gardeners with smaller hands who want to minimize cutting resistance and simplify tool maintenance when working with sticky or "bleeding" plants.

Key Features

• F-Tech Low-Friction Coating: The proprietary surface treatment ensures a smoother bypass action, which is particularly beneficial for the compact FELCO 14/15 series by further reducing the physical force required for each cut.

• Advanced Sap Resistance: The non-stick properties prevent organic residues and sticky resins from adhering to the blade, keeping the cutting action fluid and preventing the tool from gumming up.

• Superior Corrosion Defense: Provides an additional protective layer for the high-carbon steel against moisture and acidic plant juices, effectively preventing rust in damp environments.

• Compact Ergonomics: Retains the legendary wire-cutting notch and sap groove of the standard 14/3 blade, but enhances them with modern coating technology for a premium pruning experience.

• Seamless Compatibility: A direct high-performance replacement for the FELCO 14 and the left-handed FELCO 15, fitting perfectly into the existing tool head without any adjustments.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
