The Spear & Jackson Bypass Lopper is designed for home gardeners and professionals who require a reliable, heavy-duty tool for precise pruning of green, living wood. These loppers offer the perfect balance of lightweight maneuverability and high-strength cutting power, helping you maintain a healthy garden with reduced physical strain; however, users should note that they are specifically engineered for bypass cutting and are not intended for dry, dead, or thick woody branches that require an anvil-style blade.

No, bypass loppers are designed for green, living wood. Using them on hard, dry, or dead branches can damage or dull the blades.
This model features 700mm (27.5 inch) handles, providing excellent reach and leverage.
Yes, periodic sharpening will ensure the loppers continue to perform cleanly. Follow the edge angle of the factory blade when sharpening.
No, this model features fixed-length tubular aluminium handles for maximum durability.
The bypass design acts like a pair of scissors, providing a clean, precise cut that is ideal for healthy plant tissue, unlike anvil loppers which can crush the stem.
The blades are likely dull. Use a sharpening stone to restore the edge on the cutting blade.
Clear any stuck debris from the pivot point and apply a small amount of lubricant or machine oil.
Minor wear is normal. Ensure you dry the blades thoroughly after use to prevent rust, and keep the metal lightly oiled during storage.
No assembly is required; these loppers are ready for use straight out of the box. To maintain your tool, wipe the blades clean with an oily rag after each use to remove sap and debris. If the blade hinge becomes stiff, apply a drop of light machine oil to the pivot point. Ensure the blades remain sharp; if you notice the loppers are 'chewing' rather than cutting through branches, have the blades professionally honed or use a sharpening stone to restore the edge. Store in a dry, sheltered location to preserve the grip material and prevent unnecessary corrosion.
