Choose this bypass-style Fiskars Lopper for smooth, easy cuts on green, living growth such as tree branches, up to 1-1/2 inch thick. Its fully hardened, precision-ground steel blade stays sharp longer, and a low-friction blade coating resists rust and improves performance, resulting in smoother cuts and less gumming. Shock-absorbing bumpers help eliminate the jarring conclusion at the end of cuts for more comfortable use. Its durable steel construction includes handles with SoftGrip touchpoints for a secure, comfortable grip.
