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.

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.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
