FAQs:
What is the advantage of a geared bypass lopper?
A geared mechanism increases the cutting force applied through the handles, helping you tackle thicker branches without having to rely entirely on your own strength.
It's particularly useful when ordinary garden shears struggle with tougher pruning jobs.
What types of branches can the AMES Geared Bypass Lopper cut?
It is designed primarily for thicker green stems and live branches. Its bypass cutting action makes it particularly suitable for pruning trees, shrubs and established garden plants.
Always check the branch thickness against the manufacturer's recommended cutting capacity.
Why choose bypass loppers instead of anvil loppers?
Bypass loppers use two blades that pass each other like scissors, making them ideal for clean cuts on living branches.
Anvil loppers use a blade that closes against a flat surface and are generally better suited to hard, dry or dead wood.
Can these loppers help improve the appearance of fruit trees and shrubs?
Absolutely. They are useful for removing unwanted live growth, thinning crowded branches and maintaining the shape of fruit trees and ornamental shrubs.
Regular, appropriate pruning can also encourage better plant structure and airflow.
How do I keep the AMES Geared Bypass Lopper in good condition?
Clean the blades after use to remove sap and plant residue, dry them before storage and occasionally apply a suitable maintenance oil.
Store the lopper somewhere dry to help protect the cutting mechanism and extend its working life.
