Key Features of Kew Gardens Loppers

• Dual compound action: Increases cutting power so tough dead wood and thick branches need less effort.
• Geared mechanisms: Multiply leverage on the Dual Geared Anvil and Razorsharp Geared Mini Bypass models, helping reduce strain over a long pruning session.
• Telescopic handles: Extend your reach into hedges, dense shrubs and higher branches without a ladder, then retract for storage or close work.
• Ratchet action: The Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Loppers cut in stages, which helps with thicker, harder wood.
• Anvil blades: Crush down onto a flat surface, so they suit dead and woody growth.
• Bypass blades: Slice past each other like scissors for cleaner cuts on live, green stems, helping the plant heal.
• Compact option: The mini bypass design is easier to handle and control in tighter spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose anvil or bypass Kew Gardens Loppers?

Anvil loppers are best for dead, dry wood. Bypass loppers give a cleaner cut on living branches, so they are better for routine pruning of healthy plants.

What are the benefits of telescopic handles?

Telescopic handles extend your reach and leverage, so you can work on high or dense growth more comfortably. They also shorten for tidy storage and close work.

What is the difference between compound and geared loppers?

Both reduce the effort needed to cut. Compound loppers use linked pivots to boost cutting force, while geared loppers use a gear mechanism to multiply leverage. Either is a good choice for thicker branches, and both are available from Tooled-Up.com.
