GJK Replacement Blade Kit for Fiskars UPX82/UPX86 Multi-Function Branch Cutters — Hardened Coated Blade & Spring

If your Fiskars UPX82, UPX86, UP82, UP84 or UP86 multi-function branch cutter has dulled, chipped, or lost parts, this GJK replacement kit restores cutting performance without buying a whole new tool. The kit replaces the bypass blade and includes a tension spring plus a spare chain link, engineered to match the original part geometry and bolt pattern for a secure fit. The blade is heat-treated and coated to resist corrosion and stickiness so it slices through small branches cleanly.

Will this blade fit my Fiskars branch cutter model?

Yes — the 1026293 kit is manufactured to fit multiple Fiskars multi-function pruner models. It aligns with OEM mounting points and part numbers commonly referenced for these tools.

• Compatible models: UPX82, UPX86, UP82, UP84, UP86.
• Matches part numbers: 1023625, 1026624, 1001558, 1001557, 1000598.
• Includes necessary hardware (spring and chain link) to avoid extra purchases.

How well does the replacement blade cut and resist wear?

The blade is made from hardened precision steel and finished with a non-stick coating to improve cutting and ease of cleaning. That combination improves edge retention for repeated pruning and reduces sap and debris buildup on the blade face.

• Hardened steel core for consistent edge strength.
• Non-stick finish minimizes gumming and corrosion.
• Suitable for clean cuts on twigs and branches up to about 3.2 cm diameter.

What parts are included and do I need extra tools to install it?

The package supplies the bypass blade, a replacement spring, and a spare chain link so you can restore a complete cutting assembly. Basic hand tools — typically a screwdriver or hex key the original tool uses — are usually sufficient to remove the old blade and fit the replacement. Follow safe reassembly and torque recommendations from your tool manual.

• Kit contents: 1 blade, 1 spring, 1 chain link included.
• No separate purchase required for small fasteners in most cases.
• Installation: simple bolt-off, swap, and tighten procedure with basic tools.

How strong a branch can this blade handle and what tasks is it best for?

Designed for light-to-medium pruning, the GJK replacement blade performs best on green wood, small limbs, and regular garden maintenance tasks. It restores the original tool’s capacity for clean bypass cuts and helps prevent tearing or crushing of living branches.

• Recommended cutting capacity up to approximately 3.2 cm (about 1.25 inches).
• Ideal for pruning shrubs, small fruit tree limbs, and routine arboriculture work.
• Not intended for heavy lopping of large logs or roots.

Who is this for: gardeners, landscapers, and homeowners who already own a compatible Fiskars multi-function branch cutter and want a cost-effective way to revive cutting performance. It's especially useful for users who prefer replacing a single worn component instead of buying a new tool, and for maintenance-minded professionals who keep spares on hand to minimize downtime in the field.
