Know before you buy
These loppers are designed to cut branches up to 1.75 inches in diameter. For best results, ensure the branch is positioned deep within the bypass blades before applying pressure.
Yes, the design is fully ambidextrous. The handles and blade mechanism function identically regardless of which hand you use to lead.
The high carbon steel blade is designed to be sharpened as it dulls over time. You can use a standard sharpening tool to maintain the edge, which will help ensure clean, healthy cuts for your plants.
While the steel construction provides excellent durability and strength for heavy-duty tasks, it does add some weight compared to aluminum or composite models. The non-slip grips help maintain control, but they are best suited for demanding pruning jobs rather than light, all-day trimming.
Fiskars offers a lifetime warranty on this product, which covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It does not cover normal wear and tear or damage resulting from misuse.
