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.

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.
