Overview

Not an anvil lopper, this Corona bypass model cuts with a scissor-like action from a precision-ground high carbon steel blade, mounted on aluminum handles that work for right- or left-handed users.

Reason to buy: a scissor-style cut suits live wood and reduces crushing, and the handles are long enough for leverage. Limitation: branch capacity tops out near the thin side for tree work, and the spec table carries a confusing cutting width entry.

Who it's for

Gardeners who prune trees and shrubs regularly, including storm cleanup, will like the leverage from the long handles. Those cutting thick limbs, or wanting a ratcheting or extending design, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Bypass blade for clean cuts on live wood
  • High carbon steel blade
  • Aluminum handles, ambidextrous
  • Round point blade
Cons
  • Cutting capacity limits branch size
  • No ratchet or extending handles
  • Warranty terms not listed
  • Spec table cutting width entry conflicts

Performance notes

A bypass action slides one blade past the other like scissors, which cuts live wood cleanly instead of crushing it. Handle length provides leverage, so branches near the capacity limit need steady pressure. Keeping the blade clean and sharpened preserves the edge.
