FELCO 160L/4 - Replacement Anvil Blade

FELCO 160L/4 Replacement Anvil Blade

The FELCO 160L/4 is the genuine replacement anvil blade (counter-blade) specifically designed for the FELCO 160L "Essentiel" pruning shears. The 160L is known for its incredibly lightweight, high-resistance composite handles, and this anvil blade provides the rigid steel foundation required for its high-performance bypass cutting. Crafted from hardened steel, it features a precision-machined sap groove to prevent the blades from sticking during use. Replacing a worn or scarred anvil blade is critical for restoring the perfect mechanical alignment of your shears, ensuring clean, effortless cuts that promote rapid plant healing and protect the health of your garden.

Best For Home gardeners and professionals using the FELCO 160L who need to restore the tool's original precision and "factory-tight" feel for large-handed pruning tasks.

Key Features

• Hardened Steel Construction: Manufactured to FELCO’s rigorous standards to ensure maximum durability and a long service life, even when used frequently for seasonal pruning.

• Integrated Sap Groove: Features a built-in channel that clears away plant residue and moisture, keeping the bypass action fluid and reducing the time spent cleaning the tool.

• Optimized Bypass Geometry: The inner face is ground to provide the exact mechanical clearance required when paired with the cutting blade, resulting in a smooth, non-crushing "scissor" cut.

• Structural Stability: Engineered to provide a stable "hook" that holds branches firmly in place, preventing wood slippage and reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.

• Swiss Precision Fit: Designed for an easy, bolt-on installation, allowing you to fully rebuild your 160L shears and return them to original performance levels in minutes.

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.
