FELCO 2/17 - Replacement Screw (for Locking Segment)

FELCO 2/17 Replacement Screw (for Locking Segment)

The FELCO 2/17 is the genuine factory replacement screw specifically designed to secure the toothed locking segment (2/16) on the FELCO 2 and its related models. This small but critical fastener ensures that the adjustment clip remains firmly in place, preventing the pivot nut from rotating during use. Precision-engineered in Switzerland from high-tensile hardened steel, this screw is built to withstand the constant vibrations and mechanical stresses of professional pruning, ensuring your blade tension remains exactly where you set it for a perfect, clean cut.

Best For Owners of the FELCO 2, 4, or 11 who need to replace a lost, stripped, or rusted screw to maintain the precision of their tool's blade adjustment system.

Key Features

• Model-Specific Precision: While similar to other FELCO screws, the 2/17 is specifically spec'd for the classic FELCO 2 series frame, ensuring perfect thread engagement and a flush seat.

• Vibration-Proof Security: Designed to provide a rock-solid anchor for the locking segment, preventing the bypass blades from loosening even during thousands of repetitive cuts.

• High-Carbon Steel Strength: Manufactured to resist shearing and head-stripping, allowing you to perform seasonal maintenance and blade swaps without damaging the hardware.

• Corrosion Resistance: Treated to endure exposure to moisture, dirt, and acidic plant saps, ensuring the internal threads of your forged handle remain protected and easy to service.

• Direct Factory Replacement: Guaranteed to meet the original Swiss quality standards, maintaining the professional reliability and safety of the world's most iconic pruning shears.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Maintaining Blade Calibration: Essential for locking in the tension after you have sharpened or replaced your blade, ensuring the tool doesn't "chew" branches.

• Professional Tool Overhaul: Replacing weathered or pitted screws during a full strip-down to keep your equipment looking and performing like new.

• Emergency Field Repairs: This is a commonly lost part during blade adjustments in the field; keeping a spare in your kit prevents tool downtime.

• Preserving Handle Integrity: Using the correct factory screw prevents cross-threading the expensive forged aluminum handles, extending the overall life of the tool.

Pro Tip: Use a properly fitting flat-head screwdriver to tighten the 2/17 screw. It only needs to be snug enough to hold the locking segment in place—over-tightening can make future adjustments difficult. A tiny drop of tool oil on the threads will make future removals much easier.

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.
