FELCO 6/7 Replacement Screw (for Locking Segment) The FELCO 6/7 is the genuine factory replacement screw designed to secure the toothed locking segment (2/16) on FELCO’s compact and ergonomic models. This small but vital fastener acts as the anchor for the blade adjustment system; it holds the locking clip in place to prevent the pivot nut from rotating. Precision-machined in Switzerland from high-tensile hardened steel, this screw is built to withstand the constant vibration and mechanical pressure of professional pruning, ensuring your blade tension stays exactly where you set it for a clean, bypass cut. Best For Owners of compact FELCO models who need to replace a lost or stripped adjustment screw to restore the precision of their tool's blade tensioning system. Key Features Ergonomic Series Compatibility: Specifically engineered for the FELCO 6, 11, and 12, as well as the high-capacity FELCO 13 and 17 loppers. Vibration-Proof Anchor: Provides a secure, permanent hold for the locking segment, ensuring the bypass blades do not loosen or develop "slop" during high-volume work. Precision Threading: Features factory-spec threads designed to seat perfectly into the forged aluminum handles, preventing the risk of cross-threading or stripping the handle frame. Hardened Durability: Manufactured from industrial-grade steel to resist head-stripping, allowing for repeated removal and installation during seasonal sharpening or blade swaps. Genuine Swiss Safety: Restores the tool to its original mechanical specifications, protecting the cutting edge by maintaining the correct alignment between the blade and anvil. Specifications Brand: FELCO (Made in Switzerland) Model: FELCO 6/7 (Screw for Locking Segment) Compatibility: FELCO 6, 11, 12, 13, 17, 100 Material: Hardened high-grade steel Contents: 1x Securing Screw Ideal For (Uses) Maintaining Blade Alignment: The primary hardware needed to lock in the tension after you have adjusted the pivot nut for a perfect cut. Professional Tool Service: Replacing rusted or damaged hardware during a seasonal overhaul to keep the adjustment system functioning smoothly. Field Repair: A critical spare part for on-site tool kits, as this small screw can easily be lost if blade adjustments are made in the garden or orchard. Preserving Tool Life: Ensuring the locking segment is tight prevents the pivot nut from backing off, which protects the blades from crossing and becoming damaged. Pro Tip: When installing the 6/7 screw, use a small flat-head screwdriver that fits the slot perfectly to avoid slipping. If the screw feels tight before it's fully seated, back it out and clear the handle threads of any dirt or sap to ensure a flush fit.
