FELCO 231/1 - Replacement Handle with Blade

FELCO 231/1 Replacement Handle with Blade

The FELCO 231/1 is a genuine complete replacement assembly specifically designed for the FELCO 231 geared anvil lopper. This component includes the high-performance curved blade pre-mounted to the handle, ensuring the precise factory alignment required for the tool’s heavy-duty geared mechanism. Crafted from premium Swiss hardened steel, the blade is engineered to provide a powerful "guillotine" cut against the anvil. Replacing the entire assembly restores the original mechanical advantage of the tool, allowing you to slice through large, tough, or dead branches up to 40mm with a 65% reduction in physical effort.

Best For Professional arborists, landscapers, and orchardists using the FELCO 231 who need to restore the full cutting power and structural integrity of their geared anvil lopper.

Key Features

• Integrated Anvil Assembly: Features a pre-aligned blade and handle unit, simplifying the repair of the complex geared system and ensuring smooth, reliable operation.

• High-Torque Performance: Specifically optimized to handle the immense pressure generated by the FELCO 231’s lever-action system, making it perfect for the most demanding structural pruning.

• Curved Blade Geometry: The specialized shape hooks and pulls the branch into the center of the cutting head, preventing slippage and ensuring a clean, straight strike against the anvil.

• Swiss Hardened Steel: Forged from high-carbon steel with advanced heat-treatment to maintain a razor-sharp edge even when repeatedly cutting hard, dry, or seasoned wood.

• Rust and Sap Resistance: Treated with a protective finish that minimizes friction and prevents corrosion, keeping the cutting action fluid in dusty or damp conditions.

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.
