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.

Specifications

• Brand: FELCO (Made in Switzerland)

• Model: FELCO 70/50 (Counter-Blade / Anvil)

• Compatibility: FELCO 70, FELCO 73 (Industrial Cutters)

• Material: High-quality hardened forged steel

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

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.

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.
