Winner of the Arthritis Foundation Ease-of-Use Commendation, this lightweight bypass lopper maximizes cutting power while minimizing effort. It features our patented PowerGear gearing mechanism to multiply your cutting force near the middle of the cut where resistance is greatest. This makes cutting three times easier than single-pivot loppers, and the smooth-action design eliminates the jarring conclusion at the end of cuts. A razor-sharp, precision-ground blade stays sharp and resists rust, and a low-friction coating makes every cut even easier. In addition, lightweight, ergonomically designed DuraFrame handles make our compact lopper easier to grip, carry and maneuver when cutting at awkward angles.
