Bahco Bypass Lopper

These bypass loppers are designed to cut branches up to 1.75 inches in diameter. For anything thicker, you should switch to a pruning saw to avoid damaging the tool or the plant.

The bypass design acts like a pair of scissors, slicing through the branch rather than crushing it. This clean cut promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of disease or compression damage to the plant tissue.

No, the blades on this specific model are not replaceable. However, the hardened steel construction is highly durable, and the off-center pivot bolt is engineered to distribute wear evenly to extend the life of the cutting edge.

They weigh 48 ounces, which is relatively lightweight given their 28-inch length. The use of aircraft-grade aluminum handles keeps the weight manageable, while the rubber buffers and ergonomic grips help reduce fatigue during longer sessions.

While the recessed sap groove is specifically designed to reduce friction and prevent sticky buildup, it is still good practice to wipe the blades clean after use. Keeping the blades free of sap and debris will maintain the smooth slicing action over time.
