FELCO 2/15 - Replacement Locking Segment (Catch Plate)

FELCO 2/15 Replacement Locking Segment (Catch Plate)

The FELCO 2/15 is the genuine factory replacement locking segment, also known as a catch plate, designed to work with FELCO’s precision adjustment system. This toothed component sits over the pivot nut, and its unique geometry allows you to "lock" the blade tension into a specific position. By engaging with the notches on the pivot nut, it prevents the nut from loosening during repetitive cutting cycles. Precision-stamped in Switzerland from hardened high-carbon steel, this part is essential for maintaining the perfect bypass alignment that defines the FELCO pruning experience.

Best For Users of professional FELCO models who find their blade tension is constantly loosening during work or those who have lost the plate during maintenance.

Key Features

• Broad Model Compatibility: A universal adjustment component that fits an extensive range of tools, from the classic FELCO 2 and 6 to the ergonomic 7, 8, 12, and 13, and even the 17 loppers.

• Toothed Precision: Features micro-adjustment notches that allow you to fine-tune the blade play to your exact preference for a surgical-grade cut.

• Vibration-Proof Locking: Once secured with the 2/14 screw, it provides a mechanical stop that ensures the pivot nut cannot rotate, even under the high-vibration stress of professional orchard work.

• Hardened Durability: Constructed from industrial-grade steel to resist bending or wearing down, ensuring the teeth remain sharp and effective for years of service.

• Factory Spec Fit: A genuine Swiss part that ensures the alignment of the center pivot assembly is maintained, preventing uneven blade wear and ragged cuts.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Correcting Blade "Slop": Essential when the pruners start folding over thin stems rather than cutting them because the pivot nut has backed off.

• Professional Tool Calibration: Restoring the ability to micro-adjust the tension after installing a new blade (2/3) or anvil blade (2/4).

• Replacing Lost Parts: A common part to go missing during a field strip-down; having a spare ensures your tool stays in service without compromise.

• Maintaining Left-Handed Tools: Perfectly compatible with the FELCO 9 and 10, providing left-handed users the same reliable tension-locking security.

Pro Tip: To adjust, tighten the 2/9 pivot nut until the blades are snug, then place the 2/15 plate so its teeth mesh with the nut. Secure it with the 2/14 screw. If the holes don't line up, slightly tighten or loosen the nut to find the nearest locking notch.
