FELCO 2/3 F-TECH - Replacement Blade (F-Tech Coated)

FELCO 2/3 F-TECH Replacement Blade (F-Tech Coated)

The FELCO 2/3 F-TECH is a high-performance evolution of the legendary "Number 2" blade, featuring a specialized F-Tech non-stick coating. This advanced black coating significantly reduces friction between the blade and the wood, allowing the shears to glide through branches with even less effort than the standard blade. The F-Tech treatment also acts as a powerful barrier against sap buildup and corrosion, making it the ultimate choice for pruning resinous trees, "bleeding" vines, or working in damp environments. By combining Swiss-hardened steel with modern surface technology, this blade delivers the cleanest possible cuts while requiring less frequent cleaning.

Best For Professional viticulturists, orchardists, and demanding gardeners who work with resinous plants (like pines or fruit trees) and want to minimize cutting effort and blade maintenance.

Key Features

• F-Tech Non-Stick Coating: The proprietary black coating minimizes friction and prevents sticky plant residue from adhering to the blade, ensuring a smooth, consistent bypass action.

• Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Provides a superior protective layer that shields the high-carbon steel from moisture and acidic plant juices, preventing rust even in harsh conditions.

• Effortless Cutting: Because the blade encounters less resistance as it passes through plant tissue, the user experiences reduced hand fatigue during high-volume pruning tasks.

• Standard 2-Series Compatibility: A direct high-performance upgrade for the FELCO 2, 4, 11, and 400. It fits perfectly into your existing shears without any modifications.

• Precision Engineering: Retains the signature wire-cutting notch and sap groove, ensuring that this specialized blade remains as versatile as the original standard version.

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).
