BERGER Bypass Lopping Shears

These shears are designed to cut branches up to 1.38 inches in diameter. For anything thicker, we recommend using a pruning saw to avoid damaging the blades.

Bypass loppers act like scissors, using two sharp blades that slide past each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for live, green wood because it promotes faster healing of the plant, whereas anvil loppers can crush delicate stems.

The natural cork grips are excellent for grip and comfort. They are naturally slip-resistant and tend to provide a more secure hold than standard plastic or rubber handles, even when your hands are damp.

The blades feature a non-stick coating specifically designed to prevent sap and debris from accumulating. This keeps the cutting action smooth and reduces the frequency of cleaning required during long pruning sessions.

Weighing in at 33.6 ounces, these loppers are balanced to feel substantial without being overly heavy. The aluminum tube handles provide the necessary strength for leverage while keeping the overall weight manageable for extended garden work.

The forged fixing notch on the chromium-plated counter blade acts as a stabilizer. It helps grip the branch securely in place while you cut, preventing the limb from slipping forward or sliding out of the jaws.
