Product Information
Full details
The Bahco P160-SL-60 loppers are designed for professional landscapers and dedicated gardeners who need a robust, high-reach tool for precision pruning. These 60 cm two-handed shears deliver exceptional cutting power for branches up to 45 mm in diameter, helping you manage tall foliage with ease. While their lightweight aluminum construction significantly reduces fatigue during long sessions, users should note that the 600 mm length is fixed, which may be slightly cumbersome in extremely tight, enclosed spaces.

FAQs
What is the maximum cutting capacity?
The P160-SL-60 is designed to cut branches up to 45 mm in diameter.
Are the handles adjustable?
No, this model features fixed 600 mm aluminum handles for maximum structural integrity.
Can I replace the blades?
Yes, Bahco provides spare parts; check the specific model number P160-SL-60 when ordering replacements.
Is this tool suitable for dry, dead wood?
These shears are primarily designed for live, green wood; using them on extremely hard or dry dead wood can damage the blades.
How do I prevent rust on the blades?
Keep the blades clean after use and apply a light coating of protective oil before storing in a dry place.
How much does the tool weigh?
The total weight is 960 g, designed for an optimal balance between power and portability.
Troubleshooting
Tool requires too much force to cut
The blade may be dull or resin-coated. Clean the blade with a solvent and sharpen the edge with a whetstone.
Cutting action is loose or wobbly
Tighten the central locking nut to secure the pivot point, but do not overtighten, as this will increase friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These loppers arrive ready for use out of the box. To maintain performance, ensure the pivot point remains lubricated with a light machine oil. After pruning resinous trees, clean the blades with a solvent to prevent sticking. Always inspect the blade tension periodically; if the blades do not meet cleanly or the tool feels loose, tighten the central bolt using a standard wrench. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and protect the sharp edge from contacting stone or metal surfaces, which can dull the blade quickly.
