FELCO 70/1 - Replacement Blade

FELCO 70/1 Replacement Blade

The FELCO 70/1 is the genuine replacement cutting blade specifically engineered for the FELCO 70 and FELCO 73 heavy-duty wire and cable cutters. Unlike garden blades, this specialized component is crafted from premium hardened steel and heat-treated to withstand the extreme pressures required to shear through industrial cables, high-tensile wire, and steel rods. Replacing a dull, chipped, or notched blade is critical for restoring the clean, non-crushing cut that FELCO industrial tools are famous for, ensuring that wire ends remain perfectly rounded and ready for connectors without the need for secondary filing.

Best For Industrial workers, electricians, and fencers using the FELCO 70 or 73 who need to maintain a "factory-sharp" edge for cutting thick wire and steel cable with minimal effort.

Key Features

• High-Carbon Hardened Steel: Manufactured with specialized metallurgy to provide maximum edge durability, allowing it to bite through hard metals without deforming.

• Triangular Cutting Profile: Specifically ground to work with FELCO’s unique triangular cutting system, which progressively compresses the cable from three sides to prevent the strands from splaying or crushing.

• Industrial Strength: Engineered to maintain its structural integrity under the high mechanical leverage generated by the FELCO 70/73 handle system.

• Precision Bypass Fit: The blade is ground to exacting tolerances to ensure it passes the counter-blade with minimal clearance, resulting in a surgical shear through every strand.

• Direct Swiss Replacement: Designed for an exact bolt-on installation, allowing you to fully rebuild your industrial cutters and return them to original factory performance levels.

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: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

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.

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).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
