Wildhorn 40/1 - Replacement Blade HSS

Wildhorn 40/1 Replacement Blade HSS

The Wildhorn 40/1 is the genuine replacement cutting blade specifically engineered for the Wildhorn 40 professional heavy-duty electric pruning shears. Crafted from High-Speed Steel (HSS), this blade is built to handle the significant power and larger 40mm cutting capacity of the Wildhorn 40 system. The HSS material is selected for its exceptional thermal stability and wear resistance, ensuring the edge remains sharp even during intensive, high-speed pruning sessions that generate heat. Replacing a worn blade with the 40/1 is essential for maintaining the aggressive cutting force and surgical precision required for thick branches and professional forestry tasks.

Best For Professional arborists, orchardists, and foresters using Wildhorn 40 shears who need to restore the tool's original heavy-duty cutting power and clean, efficient finish.

Key Features

• High-Speed Steel (HSS) Durability: Provides superior edge retention compared to standard alloys, allowing the blade to maintain its razor-sharp profile through thousands of high-torque cycles.

• Heavy-Duty Bypass Geometry: Specifically profiled to handle branches up to 40mm in diameter, ensuring a smooth, non-crushing cut that promotes rapid tree healing and reduces the risk of infection.

• Friction Resistance: The blade surface is ground to minimize drag as it passes through dense wood, which reduces the load on the motor and preserves battery life for full-day operations.

• Impact Toughness: Heat-treated to withstand the extreme mechanical pressure of the Wildhorn 40’s drive system without chipping or deforming, even when cutting through hard or dry wood.

• Swiss-Designed Precision Fit: Engineered for a perfect, secure installation on the Wildhorn 40 head, ensuring vibration-free performance and exact synchronization with the counter-blade.

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.
