The Spear and Jackson Razorsharp 22" Dual Compound Bypass Lopper is designed for gardeners seeking precise and powerful cutting performance on living branches. Its dual compound action significantly amplifies cutting force, achieving over 80% mechanical advantage, while PTFE-coated blades ensure smooth, rust-resistant cuts. A potential caveat is its specific suitability for living branches, not deadwood, due to the bypass action.

The dual compound action uses a lever system to multiply your force, providing over 80% mechanical advantage. This makes cutting thicker branches significantly easier and requires less physical effort.
No, these loppers are specifically designed with a bypass action best suited for cutting living branches. Using them on dead, dry wood can damage the blades and reduce their effectiveness.
The maximum recommended cut diameter is 40mm, which is approximately 1.5 inches.
After use, wipe the blades with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The PTFE coating helps with rust resistance and smooth cutting.
A bypass action means the two blades slide past each other, similar to scissors. This creates a clean cut on living wood, which is important for plant health and allows the plant to heal more effectively.
The total length of these loppers is 22 inches (570mm).
Yes, Spear and Jackson typically offer a 10-year guarantee on their Razorsharp Advance range tools.
Check for debris or sap buildup around the pivot point or blades. Clean thoroughly and lubricate the pivot with light oil.
Ensure you are cutting living branches within the maximum diameter (40mm). Check if the blades are sharp and properly aligned. If cutting very soft green stems, ensure the branch is firmly seated and not attempting to cut multiple small stems at once.
Wipe blades clean after use and store in a dry environment. A light coat of oil can be applied to the blades for long-term storage. The PTFE coating offers rust resistance, but prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause surface rust.
Check the central pivot bolt and tighten if necessary. Be careful not to overtighten, which can impede smooth operation.
Setup: These loppers require no assembly upon arrival. They are ready for immediate use. Ensure you understand the bypass cutting action and the maximum cutting capacity before beginning.
Compatibility: The bypass cutting action is optimized for living branches up to 40mm (1.5 inches) in diameter. They are not recommended for cutting dead, dry wood or materials harder than green wood, as this can damage the blades and reduce cutting efficiency.
