Fiskars Bypass Lopper and Tree Trimmer

This bypass lopper is designed to cleanly cut through branches up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Attempting to cut thicker branches may damage the blade or exceed the tool's leverage capacity.

Bypass blades work like scissors, with two sharpened blades passing each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for living green wood because it minimizes damage to the plant tissue, allowing the branch to heal faster.

Yes, the coating helps the blade glide through dense wood more easily and prevents sticky sap and debris from accumulating on the steel. This keeps the cutting action smooth and reduces the amount of force you need to apply.

The handles feature Softgrip touchpoints and a non-slip surface to reduce hand fatigue. Additionally, the integrated shock-absorbing bumper helps dampen the impact when the blades close, making it easier on your wrists during repetitive tasks.

After each use, wipe the blades clean of sap and debris to prevent buildup. To maintain performance, you can occasionally sharpen the edge with a file or sharpening stone, and apply a light coat of oil to the pivot point to keep the action smooth.
