FELCO 2/15 - Replacement Locking Segment (Catch Plate)

FELCO 2/15 Replacement Locking Segment (Catch Plate)

The FELCO 2/15 is the genuine factory replacement locking segment, also known as a catch plate, designed to work with FELCO’s precision adjustment system. This toothed component sits over the pivot nut, and its unique geometry allows you to "lock" the blade tension into a specific position. By engaging with the notches on the pivot nut, it prevents the nut from loosening during repetitive cutting cycles. Precision-stamped in Switzerland from hardened high-carbon steel, this part is essential for maintaining the perfect bypass alignment that defines the FELCO pruning experience.

Best For Users of professional FELCO models who find their blade tension is constantly loosening during work or those who have lost the plate during maintenance.

Key Features

• Broad Model Compatibility: A universal adjustment component that fits an extensive range of tools, from the classic FELCO 2 and 6 to the ergonomic 7, 8, 12, and 13, and even the 17 loppers.

• Toothed Precision: Features micro-adjustment notches that allow you to fine-tune the blade play to your exact preference for a surgical-grade cut.

• Vibration-Proof Locking: Once secured with the 2/14 screw, it provides a mechanical stop that ensures the pivot nut cannot rotate, even under the high-vibration stress of professional orchard work.

• Hardened Durability: Constructed from industrial-grade steel to resist bending or wearing down, ensuring the teeth remain sharp and effective for years of service.

• Factory Spec Fit: A genuine Swiss part that ensures the alignment of the center pivot assembly is maintained, preventing uneven blade wear and ragged cuts.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Correcting Blade "Slop": Essential when the pruners start folding over thin stems rather than cutting them because the pivot nut has backed off.

• Professional Tool Calibration: Restoring the ability to micro-adjust the tension after installing a new blade (2/3) or anvil blade (2/4).

• Replacing Lost Parts: A common part to go missing during a field strip-down; having a spare ensures your tool stays in service without compromise.

• Maintaining Left-Handed Tools: Perfectly compatible with the FELCO 9 and 10, providing left-handed users the same reliable tension-locking security.

Pro Tip: To adjust, tighten the 2/9 pivot nut until the blades are snug, then place the 2/15 plate so its teeth mesh with the nut. Secure it with the 2/14 screw. If the holes don't line up, slightly tighten or loosen the nut to find the nearest locking notch.

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.

• 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.
