ALPEN Wildhorn 40/2 - Replacement Counter-Blade

ALPEN Wildhorn 40/2 Replacement Counter-Blade

The ALPEN Wildhorn 40/2 is the genuine replacement counter-blade (anvil) specifically engineered for the Wildhorn 40 professional heavy-duty electric pruning shears. This component serves as the critical "hook" that stabilizes branches during the cutting cycle, providing the necessary resistance for the cutting blade to pass through cleanly. Designed to match the impressive 40mm cutting capacity of the Wildhorn 40 system, this counter-blade is built with a reinforced profile to handle high-torque applications in forestry and orchards. Replacing a worn or damaged counter-blade is essential for maintaining the perfect bypass alignment and ensuring your power shears continue to deliver surgical, non-crushing cuts.

Best For Professional arborists, orchardists, and foresters using the ALPEN Wildhorn 40 who need to restore the tool's original branch-holding stability and heavy-duty structural integrity.

Key Features

• Reinforced Forged Steel: Constructed from premium-grade forged steel to provide maximum resistance to bending and deformation under the extreme mechanical force of the 40mm cutting system.

• Large-Capacity Hook Geometry: Specifically profiled to securely cradle thick branches, ensuring they remain stable and centered during the power stroke for a clean, efficient finish.

• Integrated Sap Groove: Features a precision-machined channel to divert sap and moisture away from the cutting head, preventing the blades from sticking during intensive, full-day pruning sessions.

• Surgical Bypass Alignment: Engineered to provide the exact factory tolerances required for a precise "scissor-cut," which is vital for preventing bark tearing and promoting rapid tree healing.

• Direct Factory Fit: A genuine ALPEN replacement part designed for seamless installation and perfect synchronization with the 40/1 cutting blade and internal gear assembly.
