Spear & Jackson 4930FZ Tree Pruner

The lopper attachment is designed to handle branches up to 1.2 inches (30mm) in diameter. For thicker limbs, you should switch to the 13-inch saw attachment.

The pruner uses a pull-action handle and cord system. By pulling down on the cord or the handle, you engage the bypass blade to make a clean cut on high branches.

Yes, the telescopic aluminum handle extends up to a maximum length of 92 inches (2340mm). This allows you to adjust the reach based on the height of the tree or shrub you are pruning.

The SK5 carbon steel blade is durable, but like any cutting tool, it should be kept clean and dry after use to prevent rust. Periodically wiping the blade with a light oil will help maintain its sharpness and smooth operation.

The bypass lopper is ideal for clean cuts on living, green wood, as it acts like a pair of scissors to minimize damage to the branch. The saw attachment is better suited for thicker, dead, or woody limbs that exceed the lopper's capacity.
