When pruning larger branches, the extra reach of a long-handled lopper can make a noticeable difference. The 27-Inch Bypass Lopperprovides that extended handle length while retaining the cutting action of a traditional bypass pruning tool.

Thebypass blade configurationis intended to pass one blade against another, producing a shearing-style cut rather than crushing the branch between anvil surfaces. This makes the tool particularly appropriate for routine pruning where a clean cut is preferred.

This model is for branches up to 1.6 inches in diametergiving it considerably more capacity than compact hand pruners. The 27-inch format also provides useful leverage for pruning branches that require more force than a short-handled shear can comfortably deliver.

The cutting blade is made fromSK-5 steela material commonly selected for cutting tools where edge retention and durability are important.Low-friction coatingto the blade is applied. According to the product listing, the coating helps produce smoother cuts, reduces gumming, and improves resistance to rust.
