Overview
Not a pruning saw, this is a bypass lopper that uses a four-bar compound linkage to magnify the squeeze of the hands. The coated high-carbon steel blade can be resharpened and replaced, and a slant-ground hook has a sap groove that clears debris.
Light handles and long foam grips make a full afternoon of yard work easier. Branch thickness is the limit, since the rated bite is modest.
Who it's for
Seasonal pruning of branches and vines suits the compound action and the low weight. Those clearing large limbs should choose a saw or a larger lopper.
Pros and cons
- Compound linkage boosts cutting power
- Blades resharpenable and replaceable
- Lightweight fiberglass handles
- Extra-long non-slip foam grips
- Cutting capacity is modest
- Thick limbs need a saw
- Warranty is limited, not unconditional
Performance notes
The four-bar linkage multiplies hand force at the blade, so branches cut with less squeezing. A bypass blade passes by the hook like scissors, and the sap groove clears residue so the blade does not gum up. Fiberglass handles resist weather.
