FELCO 2/16 - Replacement Locking Segment (Toothed Clip)

FELCO 2/16 Replacement Locking Segment (Toothed Clip)

The FELCO 2/16 is the genuine factory replacement locking segment, a high-precision toothed clip that is the backbone of FELCO’s famous blade adjustment system. This component sits directly over the pivot nut, using its internal teeth to "bite" into the nut and lock it in place. This mechanical interface ensures that once you have set the perfect blade tension, it cannot loosen during use, regardless of how many thousands of cuts you perform. Precision-engineered in Switzerland, this part is vital for maintaining the clean, surgical bypass action that prevents plant damage and reduces hand strain.

Best For Professional users whose pruner tension keeps slipping during work, or those performing a full rebuild on nearly any professional FELCO model.

Key Features

• Extensive Model Compatibility: One of the most versatile FELCO parts, fitting a massive range of tools including the FELCO 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, 31, and 100.

• Toothed Micro-Adjustment: Features a high-precision toothed profile that allows for incremental tension settings, enabling you to calibrate the pruners to your specific hand strength and branch thickness.

• Vibration-Proof Stability: Acts as a mechanical fail-safe, preventing the center nut from rotating even under the high-vibration and lateral pressure of professional orchard and vineyard work.

• Hardened Swiss Steel: Stamped from industrial-grade high-carbon steel, ensuring the teeth remain sharp and do not round off even after years of seasonal adjustments.

• Essential Safety Hardware: Maintains the structural alignment of the bypass blades, ensuring they do not overlap or cross incorrectly, which protects both the user and the tool.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Precision Tool Calibration: The necessary component to re-zero your pruners after sharpening or replacing the cutting blade.

• Fixing Loose Blades: Resolving issues where the pivot nut back-turns during use, causing the blades to "chew" through wood rather than slicing it.

• Lopper Maintenance: Perfectly compatible with FELCO 20, 21, 22, and 23 loppers, ensuring the same high-precision adjustment found in hand shears is available for heavy-duty tools.

• Professional Refurbishment: Replacing worn or bent segments during a seasonal tool overhaul to ensure the locking system remains 100% reliable.

Pro Tip: To find the "sweet spot," tighten the pivot nut until the blades are just snug, then place the 2/16 segment so the teeth engage. If the screw hole doesn't align with the handle, adjust the nut slightly (no more than 1/16th of a turn) to find the nearest matching tooth position.
