LOPPING SHEAR

Lopping shears, also known as loppers, are gardening tools used for pruning branches that are too thick for pruning shears but too thin for a saw. They are essentially large pruning shears with long handles that provide leverage for cutting through thicker branches. Loppers typically can cut branches up to 2-3 inches in diameter.

Loppers are a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of pruning tasks, such as:

  • Removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches
  • Thinning out overgrown shrubs and trees
  • Shaping hedges
  • Harvesting fruit and flowers

There are two main types of lopping shears:

  • Bypass loppers:This type of lopper has two sharp blades that bypass each other when cutting, similar to pruning shears. Bypass loppers are ideal for making clean cuts on live stems and branches.
  • Anvil loppers:Anvil loppers have a sharp blade that cuts against a flat anvil surface. Anvil loppers are not ideal for making clean cuts, and can damage live stems. They are best used for dead or dry branches.
  • Here are some factors to consider when choosing lopping shears:

    • Blade size: The size of the blade will depend on the diameter of the branches you will be cutting. Loppers typically have blades that range from 24 to 40 inches in length.
    • Bypass vs. anvil: As mentioned previously, bypass loppers are better for live wood, while anvil loppers can be used for both live and dead wood.
    • Handle length: The length of the handle will affect your leverage and reach. Longer handles provide more leverage for cutting thicker branches, while shorter handles are more maneuverable for tight spaces.
    • Weight: Loppers can range in weight from a few pounds to several pounds. Choose a weight that is comfortable for you to use for extended periods.

    Here are some additional tips for using lopping shears:

    • Keep the blades sharp. Dull blades will require more force to cut and can damage branches.
    • Use two hands to operate the loppers. This will give you more control and reduce the risk of injury.
    • Make sure your footing is stable before making a cut.
    • Cut branches at an angle just above a bud or outward-facing branch. This will encourage new growth.
    • Don’t try to cut branches that are too thick for your loppers. You may damage the loppers or injure yourself.
