Description

These compact bypass loppers are intended for garden trimming where a shorter two-handed tool may be preferred. The 15-inch format is suited to work in borders, around shrubs and in areas where a full-length lopper may be less convenient. The bypass blade is described as carbon steel, and the handles have textured grip areas to support a firm hold during ordinary garden use. The tool is intended for thicker branches within its stated capacity, as well as general tidying of shrubs and small trees. Bypass cutting uses a passing blade action, which may suit fresh growth and green wood where the branch is appropriately sized. Users should avoid twisting the blade during a cut and should keep the pivot clean. After use, remove sap and debris, dry the tool and store it in a dry place. Light oiling of the moving parts may assist with smooth operation. Please check the stated cutting capacity and dimensions before purchase, and use the loppers according to the supplied instructions.
