FELCO 2/13 - Replacement Spring Washer

FELCO 2/13 Replacement Spring Washer

The FELCO 2/13 is the genuine factory replacement spring washer designed to provide the necessary tension for the thumb catch (locking lever). This small, specialized "wavy" washer sits between the thumb catch and the handle, acting as a tensioner to ensure the lock stays in the position you set. Without a functioning spring washer, the thumb catch would flop freely, potentially locking or unlocking the tool unexpectedly during use. Precision-made in Switzerland from high-elasticity spring steel, it is a vital component for maintaining the safe and predictable mechanical operation of your pruners.

Best For Owners of professional FELCO pruners who find their locking lever is loose, wobbly, or failing to stay in the open or closed position.

Key Features

• Universal Series Compatibility: A highly versatile part used across nearly the entire professional range, including the FELCO 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 30.

• High-Elasticity Steel: Manufactured from specialized hardened spring steel that retains its "wave" shape and tension even after years of constant compression.

• Micro-Tension Control: Provides just enough resistance to prevent accidental locking while pruning, while still allowing for easy one-handed operation with the thumb.

• Corrosion Resistant: Designed to withstand the moisture, sap, and outdoor conditions typical of vineyard and garden work without losing its mechanical properties.

• Direct Factory Replacement: Guarantees a perfect fit and correct thickness, ensuring the securing screw (2/14) can be tightened without binding the locking mechanism.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Fixing Loose Locks: The primary solution for a thumb catch that rotates too easily or falls into the "locked" position while you are trying to cut.

• Professional Tool Rebuilds: A small but essential part of a seasonal maintenance overhaul, replacing lost or flattened washers to restore factory-spec handling.

• Restoring Safety: Ensuring the tool remains securely closed in your holster by providing the tension needed to keep the locking lever engaged.

• Emergency Repair Kits: A common "lost" part during tool cleaning; keeping a spare ensures you can restore tool functionality immediately if the washer pings away during disassembly.

Pro Tip: When reassembling the locking mechanism, place the washer between the handle and the thumb catch. Tighten the 2/14 screw until you feel a firm resistance, then test the lever; it should move with a deliberate "click" feel rather than sliding loosely.

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.
