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.

The Kimura Pro Ratchet Loppers are rated to cut branches up to 45mm in diameter.
Yes, you can sharpen the SK5 steel blade using a fine-grit sharpening stone. Be careful to maintain the original factory bevel angle.
The handles are made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum to ensure durability while minimizing total tool weight.
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.
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.
Ensure the twist-lock collar is tightened fully. If debris is caught in the threading, wipe the telescopic tubes clean before resetting.
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.
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.
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.
