FELCO 2/5B Replacement Mounting Rivets for Blades The FELCO 2/5B is a genuine factory hardware kit consisting of the specialized rivets used to secure the blade to the handle. On FELCO models with replaceable blades, these rivets ensure a permanent, vibration-resistant connection between the high-carbon steel blade and the forged aluminum handle. Over years of heavy use or after multiple blade replacements, the original rivets may become worn or loose. This kit provides the exact Swiss-engineered fasteners required to maintain the structural integrity and safety of your pruners, ensuring there is no "play" or movement in the blade during a cut. Best For Professional users and tool technicians performing a complete blade replacement or handle refurbishment on classic and compact FELCO models. Key Features Multi-Model Compatibility: Specifically designed to fit the FELCO 2, 4, 6, and 12, providing a universal solution for the most common professional models. High-Strength Fastening: These rivets are made from specialized ductile steel that, once set, provides a rock-solid mechanical bond that won't loosen under the stress of heavy-duty pruning. Precision Dimensions: Manufactured to the exact tolerances of the handle and blade holes, preventing the handle from being stressed or the blade from being misaligned. Corrosion Resistant: Treated to withstand exposure to sap, moisture, and outdoor elements, ensuring the internal connection remains strong over the life of the tool. Genuine Swiss Hardware: Guarantees the original factory safety standards, ensuring the blade remains safely anchored even when cutting through the maximum recommended branch diameters. Specifications Brand: FELCO (Made in Switzerland) Model: FELCO 2/5B (Mounting Rivet Set) Compatibility: FELCO 2, 4, 6,12 Material: Hardened high-grade steel Contents: 1x Set of Mounting Rivets (sufficient for one blade installation) Ideal For (Uses) Blade Replacement: Essential when installing a new cutting blade to ensure the new component is as secure as the day it left the factory. Eliminating Blade Wobble: Fixing tools where the blade has become loose or wobbly, which can lead to ragged cuts and damage to the bypass action. Professional Tool Restoration: A critical step in deep-cleaning or refurbishing older pruners to bring them back to peak mechanical condition. Safety Maintenance: Preventing mechanical failure during a cut by replacing rivets that show signs of shearing, rust, or deformation. Pro Tip: Setting these rivets requires a hammer and a steady anvil or bench vice. Ensure the rivet is fully seated and the blade is flush against the handle before peening the end of the rivet to secure it.
