Loppers
Loppers
Garden loppers are used for cutting branches up to 2.5cm, less for harder wood species – please apply common sense when pruning. Cut bigger branches at a 45 degree angle.
Do not rely on the handles to do the cutting – they are wood and can snap with too much lever pressure. The handle length is designed for reach, not leverage.

{Information}Care Instructions
Blades are made of carbon steel. Carbon steel blades must be treated to avoid rusting. Japanese traditionally use Camellia (Tsubaki) Oil to treat carbon steel tools. Other suitable oils may also be used. Ensure the blade is clean, including tree sap, and dry before applying Camellia Oil. Simply wipe the blade with a clean cloth impregnated with Camellia Oil. Re-apply after each use.
Although the blades are made of hardened steel, they're not impervious to misuse. Only use for the specified activity on this page. Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material. Even hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage hardened steel edges. Dropping the tool onto a hard surface may cause the blade to break. Do not twist or apply uneven pressure. Cutting should occur along the section of the edge(s) closest to the handle. Cutting at the point or tip runs the risk of snapping the blade.
To get the most out of your loppers, sharpen regularly.
