FELCO 160S/4 - Replacement Anvil Blade

FELCO 160S/4 Replacement Anvil Blade

The FELCO 160S/4 is the genuine replacement anvil blade (counter-blade) specifically engineered for the FELCO 160S "Essentiel" pruning shears. Designed for users with smaller hands, the 160S features lightweight composite handles, and this anvil blade provides the necessary hardened steel foundation for high-precision bypass cutting. It features a precision-machined sap groove to ensure the tool doesn't gum up during use. Replacing a worn or scarred anvil blade is the most effective way to restore the surgical bypass alignment of your compact shears, ensuring clean, effortless cuts that promote rapid plant healing and professional results.

Best For Home gardeners and professionals with smaller hands using the FELCO 160S who need to maintain the tool's original precision and "factory-tight" feel for delicate or repetitive pruning.

Key Features

• Hardened Steel Durability: Manufactured to FELCO’s exacting standards to ensure maximum structural rigidity and a long service life, even under frequent use.

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

• Compact Model Profile: Specifically designed as the direct replacement part for the FELCO 160S, matching its unique compact geometry and lightweight frame perfectly.

• Optimal Bypass Geometry: The inner face is ground to provide the exact mechanical clearance required when paired with the cutting blade, resulting in a smooth, scissor-like slice.

• Swiss Precision Fit: Engineered for an easy, bolt-on installation, allowing you to fully rebuild your 160S 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.
