Overview
A gardener who wants thick branches cut with less hand effort gets a bypass lopper whose patented gears multiply leverage. Hardened blades and rounded handles with soft grips handle the rest.
The geared head cuts down the effort for each cut up to the rated size, and the coating on the blades helps them run smoothly. The limits are that rating and a listing that disagrees with itself about the handles.
Who it's for
Homeowners with trees and shrubs that need thick branches trimmed by hand. Heavy limbs or work far overhead call for a saw or a pole tool.
Pros and cons
- Gear mechanism multiplies leverage
- Hardened stainless steel blades
- Low-friction blade coating
- Soft cushioned grips
- Handle material listed two ways
- Rated capacity caps branch size
Performance notes
Gears in the head multiply leverage, so the blades close through a branch with less force at the handles. Bypass blades pass each other for a cleaner cut on living wood, and the low-friction coating smooths each stroke. Rounded handles give control.
