The 21" Professional Aluminum Handle Bypass Lopper is powerful enough to cut the largest jobs down to size. Its slim design and compact, smoothly contoured profile penetrates foliage without the snagging that can damage delicate plants. The resharpenable, replaceable Radial Arc bypass blade of fully heat-treated forged Coronium steel allows for a 1-1/2 inch diameter cutting capacity. It features a forged slant-ground hook deep enough to draw branches close to the pivot for the greatest leverage. The lopper has a precision-machined, self-aligning pivot bolt and a square-shouldered, right-handed design with a unique, reusable, all-steel locking nut that adjusts using only one tool. For your comfort, it features forged-in bumper cups with Alcryn ShockStop bumpers that reduce fatigue and are located low on the tang to avoid interference with buds and small growth. Comfortable, molded polyethylene grips. This dependable lopper comes with a Lifetime Warranty, so you can be sure you're getting a rugged tool that can take on any job.
