FELCO 160/94 - Replacement Center Bolt and Nut Kit

FELCO 160/94 Replacement Center Bolt and Nut Kit

The FELCO 160/94 is the genuine replacement pivot hardware kit specifically designed for the FELCO 160 series "Essential" pruners. While the 160 series features lightweight composite handles, the central pivot remains a high-stress point that requires precision steel hardware to maintain the bypass cutting action. This kit includes the hardened steel bolt and locking nut, providing the necessary tension to keep the blade and counter-blade in perfect alignment. Replacing a worn pivot is the most effective way to eliminate blade wobble and ensure your lightweight shears continue to produce the clean, effortless cuts FELCO is known for.

Best For Owners of the FELCO 160L (Large) and 160S (Small) models who need to replace lost, stripped, or rusted pivot hardware to restore factory-level cutting performance.

Key Features

• Series-Specific Compatibility: Precision-engineered for a perfect mechanical fit with both the Large (160L) and Small (160S) versions of the Essential range.

• Hardened Steel Construction: Both the bolt and nut are manufactured from premium wear-resistant steel, ensuring they can withstand the repetitive friction of seasonal pruning.

• Restores Cutting Alignment: By replacing a loose or damaged bolt, you re-establish the correct bypass tolerance, preventing the tool from "chewing" wood or tearing plant bark.

• Simplified Maintenance: Provides the two core components (the 160/8 bolt and 2/9 nut) required to reassemble the tool head after a deep clean or sharpening session.

• Swiss Precision Manufacture: A genuine FELCO part designed to meet exact factory tolerances, ensuring your lightweight shears maintain their structural integrity and reliability.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
