Know before you buy
The offset pivot creates a slicing motion rather than a straight crush, which allows the blade to cut through live wood more efficiently and with less physical effort.
These are bypass loppers specifically designed for live wood. While they can handle some dry material, they are best suited for green stems and branches up to 1 3/8 inches thick.
The 16-inch model features lightweight aluminum handles for easier maneuverability, while the 20-inch and 24-inch versions use durable oval steel handles to provide extra strength for heavier-duty pruning.
The integrated sap groove is designed to minimize friction and prevent the blades from sticking during use. However, it is still good practice to wipe the blades clean after pruning resinous plants to maintain smooth operation.
The hook-shaped counterblade is designed to cradle the branch securely, preventing it from slipping out of the cutting zone while you apply pressure.
