FELCO 70/50 - Replacement Counter-Blade

FELCO 70/50 Replacement Counter-Blade

The FELCO 70/50 is the genuine replacement counter-blade (anvil) specifically designed for the FELCO 70 and FELCO 73 industrial wire and cable cutters. While the cutting blade performs the shear, the counter-blade provides the critical structural support and "hook" that prevents cables from flattening or splaying during the cut. Crafted from premium forged steel, it is engineered to withstand the immense mechanical pressure required to cut through high-tensile wire and steel rope. Replacing a scarred or worn counter-blade is essential for restoring the perfect triangular cutting geometry, ensuring every cut is clean, square, and professional.

Best For Electricians, telecommunications technicians, and fencing contractors using the FELCO 70 or 73 who need to maintain the tool's original structural integrity and non-crushing performance.

Key Features

• Forged Steel Durability: Manufactured using FELCO’s legendary forging process to ensure maximum resistance to deformation, even when subjected to the extreme leverage of industrial cutting.

• Triangular Cutting Support: Specifically profiled to facilitate FELCO’s unique triangular cut, which holds cable strands together to prevent the "brooming" effect common with standard cutters.

• Precision Bypass Alignment: Engineered to provide the exact mechanical clearance needed for the 70/1 blade to pass through, resulting in a surgical shear through steel and copper.

• Industrial-Grade Finish: Hardened to withstand the friction of repetitive metal-on-metal cutting, ensuring the inner face remains smooth for fluid tool operation.

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

Ideal For (Uses)

• Heavy Cable Management: Restoring the stability needed for splicing and terminating electric cables where a perfectly round, clean-cut end is mandatory.

• Wire Rope Maintenance: Bringing a heavily used tool back to peak performance by replacing a notched counter-blade that would otherwise cause cable snagging.

• Structural Tool Overhaul: Correcting the alignment of the cutting head to prevent "chewing" of metal strands, which reduces hand fatigue and ensures a faster workflow.

• Sustainable Equipment Care: A cost-effective way to extend the life of your premium FELCO industrial shears by replacing the primary structural wearing part.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ 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
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

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.
