Product Information

Full details

The Kimura Pro Ratchet Loppers are designed for home gardeners and professionals who need a heavy-duty tool capable of slicing through thick branches without excessive physical strain. By utilizing an advanced ratcheting mechanism, these loppers multiply your cutting force by up to five times, making them ideal for clearing dense brush and mature tree limbs up to 45mm thick. While these loppers offer excellent reach and leverage, their extended weight and length may feel cumbersome for smaller users when operating at the maximum 950mm setting.

FAQs

What is the maximum branch thickness these loppers can handle?

The Kimura Pro Ratchet Loppers are rated to cut branches up to 45mm in diameter.

Can I sharpen the blades?

Yes, you can sharpen the SK5 steel blade using a fine-grit sharpening stone. Be careful to maintain the original factory bevel angle.

Are the handles made of steel or aluminum?

The handles are made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum to ensure durability while minimizing total tool weight.

What is the benefit of the PTFE coating?

The PTFE coating is a non-stick surface that prevents sap, resin, and debris from sticking to the blades, ensuring a smooth, friction-free cut.

Does the ratchet work on every cut?

The ratchet engages automatically when it detects high resistance, meaning it will function as a standard lopper for thin twigs and a power-multiplier for thick limbs.

Troubleshooting

Handles will not stay extended

Ensure the twist-lock collar is tightened fully. If debris is caught in the threading, wipe the telescopic tubes clean before resetting.

Loppers do not cut through the branch

Ensure the branch is placed as deep into the jaw as possible near the pivot point for maximum leverage, and allow the ratchet to click into each stage.

Blade feels sticky or resists cutting

Use a non-abrasive cleaning cloth to remove sap build-up from the PTFE coating and apply a light machine oil to the pivot point.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces physical effort required for thick branch cuts
  • Versatile length adjustment accommodates different tree heights
  • Rust-resistant materials ensure long-term outdoor durability
  • Non-stick blade coating maintains smooth operation through sappy wood

Cons

  • Increased length can feel heavy during prolonged overhead use
  • Ratcheting action requires multiple compression cycles for thickest branches
  • Mechanism requires periodic cleaning to remain effective

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To setup, simply twist the handle collars to unlock the telescopic mechanism, extend to your desired length, and twist in the opposite direction to lock firmly. When finished, wipe the SK5 steel blades clean with a dry cloth to remove sap. If sap build-up persists, use a light solvent and wipe dry before storing in a cool, dry place. Regularly check the handle locks to ensure they are clean of debris, as dirt can interfere with the locking engagement. Avoid using the loppers to cut wire or metal, as this will damage the precision-ground edge of the anvil blade.
