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.
