30 Inch Bypass Lopper with Compound Action for Garden Pruning and Hedge Trimming Why you need this tool Cut thicker branches with less effort: The compound action multiplies cutting force so you can tackle thicker or tougher growth than with standard shears. Reach and leverage for safer, more comfortable work: Thirty inch handles provide extra reach and leverage for pruning higher branches and dense hedges without excessive exertion. Cleaner cuts for healthier plants: Bypassstyle cutting action shears past the branch rather than crushing it, helping preserve the plant structure while you trim. Key benefits and features Function: Bypass lopper design for precise, scissorstyle cuts that are ideal for live branches and shaping shrubs. Mechanical advantage: Compound action mechanism reduces the force required at the handles while increasing blade power at the cutting head. Size and reach: Thirty inch handle length improves reach and leverage for common garden tasks, reducing the need to overreach or use a ladder for lowtomid height branches. Shock absorption: Builtin shock feature helps cushion impact between handles at the end of each cut, reducing user strain and wear on the tool. Intended use: Designed for garden pruning, hedge trimming, and cutting thicker tree branches that ordinary hand shears struggle with.
