Know before you buy
This model is designed to cut branches up to 1.5 inches in diameter. For best results, ensure the branch is positioned deep within the bypass blades rather than at the tips.
Yes, the blades are replaceable. This allows you to maintain the tool's performance over the long term without needing to replace the entire unit if the steel eventually wears down.
Bypass loppers work like a pair of scissors, using two sharp blades that pass by each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for living green wood, as it minimizes damage to the plant tissue compared to anvil loppers, which crush the stem against a flat surface.
At 2.56 pounds, this lopper is balanced for standard yard work. It features a shock-absorbing bumper to reduce impact on your wrists and soft-grip handles to help maintain comfort during extended use.
Yes, the design is ambidextrous. The ergonomic grip and bypass cutting action function equally well regardless of which hand you use to operate the tool.
