FELCO 2/20 - Replacement Shock Absorber (Buffer)

FELCO 2/20 Replacement Shock Absorber (Buffer)

The FELCO 2/20 is the genuine factory replacement buffer, the counterpart to the rubber cushion, designed to provide the final layer of impact protection. Positioned on the opposite handle from the cushion, this part ensures that the closing force of the shears is met with a controlled, dampened response. Swiss-engineered for maximum shock dissipation, the 2/20 is a vital component of FELCO’s ergonomic system, designed to protect the user from the jarring vibrations that occur at the end of every cut. Keeping this buffer in top condition is key to preventing joint fatigue and maintaining the legendary "soft" closing feel of a professional FELCO tool.

Best For Professional users who perform hundreds of cuts a day and want to maintain the impact-reduction features that prevent hand and wrist strain.

Key Features

• Universal Professional Fit: Compatible with the wide-reaching professional range, including the FELCO 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

• High-Performance Resilience: Crafted from a specialized synthetic compound that retains its shape and damping properties even after years of high-pressure use.

• Ergonomic Joint Protection: Significantly reduces the mechanical shock transferred to the hand and forearm, helping to mitigate the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSI).

• Durable Composition: Engineered to withstand environmental stressors such as UV exposure, moisture, and garden chemicals without becoming brittle or failing.

• Seamless Mechanical Integration: Designed to fit perfectly into the handle recess, ensuring consistent alignment with the 2/18 cushion for a balanced impact.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Restoring Factory Comfort: Replacing a hardened or missing buffer to bring back the original cushioned closing action of your shears.

• Professional Tool Care: Maintaining equipment used in demanding agricultural environments like vineyards and orchards where tool ergonomics are a health priority.

• Quiet Gardening: Replacing worn buffers to eliminate loud handle noise, allowing for a more focused and peaceful pruning experience.

• Full Tool Overhaul: An essential part of a mechanical restoration, ensuring the tool’s safety and comfort features are as reliable as the cutting components.

Pro Tip: For the most effective shock absorption, it is highly recommended to replace both the 2/20 buffer and the 2/18 cushion at the same time. This ensures that the contact points are level and provide the maximum possible damping effect.

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.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
