FAQs

What is the maximum branch diameter I can cut?

The bypass loppers are designed for branches up to 4.5cm in diameter.

Can I sharpen the blades?

Yes, you can touch up the edges with a sharpening stone, but take care not to remove the Teflon coating on the main blade surface.

Why do the hedge shears have wavy blades?

The wavy design creates a 'gripping' action that prevents branches from sliding out of the blades during the cut.

Are these tools suitable for professional use?

While durable enough for heavy garden maintenance, they are primarily designed for residential gardening.

Do the handles lock at any length?

The telescopic mechanism allows for variable adjustment between the minimum and maximum lengths.

How should I store them during winter?

Clean them thoroughly, oil the blades, and store them hanging or in a dry shed away from direct floor contact.

Troubleshooting

Loppers are tearing the bark instead of cutting

The pivot bolt may be too loose. Tighten the central tension nut so the blades maintain tight contact throughout the cutting stroke.

Telescopic handles will not lock at full extension

Clean any grit or dirt out of the locking collar mechanism and ensure the internal plastic sleeve is not cracked or misaligned.

Blades feel sticky when cutting

Remove sap buildup with a specialized resin cleaner or a degreaser and re-apply a thin layer of protective oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extendable handles provide excellent reach for high branches
  • Teflon coating ensures clean cuts without sap buildup
  • Shock-absorbing bumpers reduce user fatigue during long tasks
  • Versatile range for both heavy pruning and fine shaping

Cons

  • Telescopic mechanisms require periodic lubrication
  • Bulkier than fixed-length manual pruners
  • Carbon steel requires cleaning to prevent moisture damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No assembly is required out of the box; simply ensure the telescopic locks are fully tightened before use. To adjust the handle length, twist the locking collar, extend to the desired length, and retighten securely.

Care instructions:

  1. After each use, wipe blades down with a dry cloth to remove sap and debris.
  2. Apply a light coat of machine oil to the blades if the tools will be stored for an extended period.
  3. Check the tension nut periodically; if the blades feel loose, tighten the central nut slightly to ensure the blades remain in close contact for clean cuts.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent premature corrosion of the steel components.
