FELCO 2/20 - Replacement Shock Absorber (Buffer)

FELCO 2/20 Replacement Shock Absorber (Buffer)

The FELCO 2/20 is the genuine factory replacement buffer, the counterpart to the rubber cushion, designed to provide the final layer of impact protection. Positioned on the opposite handle from the cushion, this part ensures that the closing force of the shears is met with a controlled, dampened response. Swiss-engineered for maximum shock dissipation, the 2/20 is a vital component of FELCO’s ergonomic system, designed to protect the user from the jarring vibrations that occur at the end of every cut. Keeping this buffer in top condition is key to preventing joint fatigue and maintaining the legendary "soft" closing feel of a professional FELCO tool.

Best For Professional users who perform hundreds of cuts a day and want to maintain the impact-reduction features that prevent hand and wrist strain.
