I love this loppers and it took me awhile but I found the replacement blades. Call Corona toll-free, phone number listed at their website coronaclipper.com. These items are not listed on their website-Part #FL3420-1 (blade) and #FL3420-2 for (anvil). Hope this helps!!

Corona Clipper FL-3420 I found the Corona Clipper FL-3420 to be a superior clipper. However when trying to find a replacement blade, I could not get the replacement part.

This looper performs better than any we have tried. We maintain 25- heavily wood acres in the country. The Corona Clipper FL-3420 would cut a 1 to 1 1/2 inch diameter branch with less effort. I would like to reorder or replace just the blade. Regards, Kathy Ferguson

Great tool for general pruning. Do not believe reviews downgrading this product due to alleged false claims regarding blade replacement.
Those blades are available. I just purchased one. It is about $.... Buy it and have fun pruning.

The blade snapped right where it's bolted on (bolt closest to tip of the blade) in the process of trimming a limb approx. 1" in diameter. This was like the second or third time I'd ever used the tool. When I contacted Corona about a replacement blade they immediately shipped me a new lopper at no charge. Five stars for customer service but one star for product reliability.

This is one of the toughest loppers I have used. It cuts a wide variety of woods with ease and can take a beating. Keep it clean, oiled and sharp and it will last a long while.

As with all anvil loppers you have to remember not to torque the blade or twist the handles as you cut. This is what will bend even this sturdy blade. This happens most on larger limbs where the user's upper arm and chest strength is tested, even with the compound action of the lopper, and the user tends to twist rather than squeeze the handles. The fact is that not every user can, or should, try to cut any limb that will fit in the lopper. You can bend this sturdy tool if you use it incorrectly.

Many of the limbs I was often using a bow saw on I can now cut with the 3420. It makes clean-up work on downed tree limbs a much easier process. I am very happy I purchased this tool.

I recently broke our old trusted lopper and replaced it with this CORONA model. In hindsight I think that the model I previously owned might have been an older CORONA model (it was absolutely fantastic), and that I could perhaps have repaired it with a set of replacement blades. However, by the time that thought went through my head, the garbage had already been picked up - too late for a possible dumpster diving rescue mission. That being said, I couldn't be happier with this one. It has immense cutting power and produces amazingly clean cuts. Also, even when you don't align the lopper perfectly straight, the blades will still not "twist", which is what happened when I tried another "Home Depot" model which was actually more expensive than this one from CORONA. At this time the new lopper is, well, still very new, which might explain the degree of strength it currently takes to open and close it. Loosening the bolts somewhat or a little WD40
might take care of that, but I haven't gotten to it yet as I have just been to busy working the lopper. I cannot say anything bad about this thing, on the contrary: It's a great, sturdy machine for many years of serious backyard work.Corona Clipper 24-Inch Compound-Action 1-1/2-Inch Capacity Bypass Lopper With Fiberglass Handles & Non-Slip Grips #FL 3460

I've used one of these for almost three years and made MANY THOUSANDS of cuts - oak branches, whitethorn, manzanita, and also dead wood. Mine are getting a little long in the tooth, but still cut well after sharpenings with a flat file. This is one of my favorite hand tools.

I had my clippers for almost 3 years then they broke. yes it sounds like i should be rating them way lower then 5 stars, but so not true. I was trying to chomp through a 2 inch oak tree in my hedges and i managed to break the arm on the clippers. Originally i emailed corona just to see about replacement parts, and lo and behold, 2 emails and a couple digital photos of the carnage later, my new clippers should be here in a few weeks. This product comes with a limited LIFETIME warranty. This is my 3rd set of bypass loppers and I will probably never change brands again. Until the big crack they did there job flawlessly. Well new pair have arrived, it only took 1 week to get them from the west coast.

We use these loppers for our habitat restoration work at the Nature Conservancy's Ives Road Fen Preserve. They can cut a fairly large bush or sapling. After 100 hours or so of use the linkages wear. After more hours the fiberglass handles become flexible and fracture where the rivets go through them. We have figured out how to rebuild/repair both of these areas. In seven years two blades have broken. Replacement blades can be purchased from the Corona website. A homeowner using these would have no problems in a lifetime of use. These are the best combination of high capability and low cost that we have found. The anvil type blade can be easily sharpened with a hand-held angle sharpener.

The lopper is strong, but the lopper blade broke after approx. 2 years of light use on soft wood branches less than 1 inch in diameter. A replacement blade cost $20 plus shipping - the same as a new lopper. Rubber foam handle grips also came loose and slide up and down the handle during use. Grips have to be taped in place periodically to keep them from sliding. Very disappointed in this product.
