Bond Bloom Bypass Lopper/Pruner

Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for live, green growth because it minimizes damage to the plant stem, allowing it to heal faster and stay healthier.

These tools are specifically designed for live, green growth. Using them on hard, dry, or dead wood can dull the blades quickly or potentially damage the bypass mechanism, so it is best to stick to softer, living stems.

The lopper features long handles that provide extra leverage and reach, making it perfect for thicker branches or those higher up in a shrub. The pruner is compact and designed for one-handed use, giving you the precision needed for detailed trimming and deadheading.

To keep the blades sharp and rust-free, wipe them down with a clean cloth after every use to remove sap and debris. Periodically applying a light coat of machine oil to the blades and pivot point will keep the action smooth and prevent corrosion.

The pruner is designed for standard manual operation and should fit most hand sizes comfortably. However, the lopper requires two hands to operate, so you will want to ensure you are comfortable with the handle spread before tackling larger branches.
