FELCO 5/5B - Replacement Mounting Pins for Blades

FELCO 5/5B Replacement Mounting Pins for Blades

The FELCO 5/5B is the genuine factory hardware kit containing the specialized mounting pins used to anchor the cutting blade to the handle of the FELCO 5. Unlike the rivets used on the forged aluminum models, these pins are specifically engineered for the heavy-duty pressed steel handles of the FELCO 5. Precision-manufactured in Switzerland, they provide a rock-solid mechanical connection that can withstand the high-leverage forces this "standard" model is designed for. Replacing worn pins is essential to ensure the blade remains perfectly stationary, preserving the tool's cutting accuracy and user safety.

Best For Owners of the FELCO 5 (Standard Model) who are replacing a worn cutting blade or refurbishing their tool to eliminate blade movement.

Key Features

• Model-Specific Engineering: Specifically designed to fit the FELCO 5 steel handle, ensuring the pin diameter and head height provide a flush and secure fit.

• High-Tensile Strength: Made from hardened steel to resist the shearing forces encountered when cutting through large, dry, or woody branches.

• Precision Tolerance: Manufactured to Swiss standards to eliminate "play" in the blade assembly, preventing the blade from shifting and causing ragged cuts.

• Permanent Fastening: These pins are designed to be peened (hammered) into place, creating a permanent bond that won't vibrate loose over years of heavy agricultural use.

• Factory Reliability: A genuine Swiss part that maintains the original structural integrity of the FELCO 5, ensuring it remains the most durable "standard" pruner in your kit.

Specifications

• Brand: FELCO (Made in Switzerland)

• Model: FELCO 5/5B (Mounting Pin Set)

• Compatibility: FELCO 5 (Cutting Blade side)

• Material: Hardened high-grade steel

• Contents: 1x Set of Mounting Pins (sufficient for one blade)

Ideal For (Uses)

• Blade Replacement: The required hardware for securing a new cutting blade (5/3) to the handle during a standard part swap.

• Fixing Loose Blades: Resolving issues where the blade has become wobbly or unstable, which can lead to accidental handle damage if not corrected.

• Heavy-Duty Tool Restoration: Bringing a vintage or work-worn FELCO 5 back to its original factory performance levels.

• Safety Maintenance: Ensuring the cutting edge is safely anchored, preventing mechanical failure under the high-pressure loads typical of heavy-duty pruning.

Pro Tip: To install, place the pin head against a flat metal anvil or vice. Use a ball-peen hammer to carefully mushroom the tail-end of the pin until the blade is pulled tight against the steel handle. Ensure there is no gap between the blade and the handle before you finish.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
