FELCO 4/90 - Replacement Center Bolt and Nut Kit

FELCO 4/90 Replacement Center Bolt and Nut Kit

The FELCO 4/90 is the genuine replacement pivot hardware kit specifically designed for the FELCO 4 professional pruner. The center bolt and nut serve as the mechanical axis of the tool, maintaining the essential tension between the blade and the counter-blade. Manufactured in Switzerland from hardened high-grade steel, this kit is engineered to withstand the high-torque demands of repetitive pruning. Replacing a worn or stripped pivot assembly is the most effective way to eliminate blade play and restore the powerful bypass cutting action that FELCO tools are known for.

Best For Owners of the FELCO 4 who need to replace damaged, rusted, or lost pivot hardware to ensure their shears maintain a clean, professional-grade cut.

Key Features

• Direct Factory Fit: Precision-engineered to meet the exact mechanical specifications of the FELCO 4, ensuring a secure and perfectly aligned assembly.

• High-Strength Construction: Both the bolt and nut are crafted from wear-resistant steel, designed to handle the friction and lateral pressure of heavy-duty gardening tasks.

• Restores Cutting Precision: By replacing a loose or worn pivot, you eliminate the gap between blades, preventing the tool from "chewing" or tearing the bark of the plant.

• Essential Maintenance Solution: Provides the two core components (the 4/8 bolt and 4/9 nut) required to keep the cutting head stable and properly tensioned during use.

• Swiss-Made Durability: A genuine FELCO part that ensures your tool remains reliable and safe, extending the overall lifespan of your pruners.

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.

• 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.
