FELCO 51 Special Application - Hoof Clippers with Fixed Handle

The FELCO 51 is a heavy-duty, specialized tool designed for the essential task of trimming and paring the hooves of sheep and goats. Based on the legendary construction of the FELCO 2 pruning shear, this model features fixed forged aluminum handles for those who prefer a traditional, solid grip. Engineered to withstand the rigors of farm life, the FELCO 51 provides the high-leverage cutting power necessary to slice through tough, dry hoof horn with precision and ease, ensuring the well-being of your livestock.

Best For Farmers and livestock professionals who prefer the stability of a fixed-handle tool for the routine maintenance and paring of sheep and goat hooves.

Key Features

• Specialized Hoof Blades: Equipped with hardened steel blades specifically tempered to maintain a sharp edge against the abrasive and dense material of animal hooves.

• XYLAN® Anti-Corrosion Coating: The blades are treated with a protective XYLAN® coating, which provides excellent resistance against corrosion and prevents organic debris from sticking to the tool.

• Iconic Forged Aluminum Handles: Features high-strength drop-forged aluminum alloy handles that are lightweight, incredibly durable, and ergonomically shaped for a secure, non-slip grip.

• Cushioned Shock Absorption: Integrated with rubber buffers that absorb the impact at the conclusion of each cut, protecting the user’s wrist and hand during long sessions of flock maintenance.

• Micrometric Precision Adjustment: Includes FELCO’s signature adjustment system, allowing the user to precisely align the blades for a clean, effortless cut that minimizes stress on the animal.

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.
