FELCO 2/9 - Replacement Pivot Nut

FELCO 2/9 Replacement Pivot Nut

The FELCO 2/9 is the genuine factory replacement nut used to secure the center pivot bolt across nearly the entire range of FELCO professional pruners. This critical component works in tandem with the center bolt to provide the exact amount of tension required for a clean, bypass cut. Precision-engineered in Switzerland, the nut features a specific profile designed to integrate with FELCO’s toothed locking system, ensuring that once your blade tension is set, it stays exactly where you want it. Replacing a rounded or damaged nut is essential for maintaining the mechanical precision of your tool and preventing the blades from loosening during use.

Best For Professional gardeners and arborists who need to replace a worn, lost, or stripped pivot nut to restore the adjustable tension system on their FELCO shears.

Key Features

• Universal Series Compatibility: A truly versatile part that fits almost all classic and ergonomic models, including the FELCO 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

• Hardened Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-strength industrial steel to resist stripping and handle the high torque required for a secure pivot connection.

• Locking System Integration: Designed with a specific outer geometry that fits perfectly with the locking segment (2/16) and screw (2/14), preventing the nut from backing off during repetitive cutting.

• Precision Threading: Features clean, factory-spec internal threads that ensure a smooth and accurate fit onto the center bolt, allowing for micro-adjustments to the blade play.

• Swiss-Made Reliability: A genuine replacement part that restores the original factory safety and performance standards of your pruning shears.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Restoring Blade Tension: Fixing pruners where the blades have become loose, ensuring the bypass action remains sharp and prevents branch tearing.

• Replacing Damaged Hardware: Swapping out nuts that have become rounded by improper tool use or rusted over time, making maintenance difficult.

• Professional Tool Service: An essential component for a complete tool strip-down and rebuild, ensuring all fastening hardware is in peak condition.

• Emergency Spares: A vital part to keep in a field repair kit, as the pivot nut is a small but indispensable component for the tool's operation.

Pro Tip: When tightening the 2/9 nut, use the FELCO 903 or 905 adjustment tool. Tighten it just enough so that the blades don’t wobble, but still open freely. Once set, always ensure the locking segment is engaged to prevent the nut from moving.
