Four Details That Matter
Ratcheting Action
Oversized ratcheting mechanism lets you cut in stages. Squeeze, release, squeeze again — the blade advances without backing off. Multiplies your hand force so thick branches yield to ordinary grip strength.
Anvil Head
Flat anvil surface meets a straight blade from above. Concentrates crushing force on dead, dry, and hardened wood up to 2.5″. The geometry that makes short work of what bypass blades struggle with.
Bypass Head
Two curved blades pass each other like scissors. Makes clean, precise cuts on living green branches up to 2″ without crushing tissue. The cut that heals fast and keeps the plant healthy.
Telescoping Handles
Extend from 26″ to 40″ across 6 locking positions. Full extension reaches canopy branches from the ground. Locking positions are firm and do not slip under load.
The Mechanism
Ratcheting Power That Multiplies Your Own
A conventional lopper asks you to deliver all the cutting force in a single squeeze. If the branch is thick or the wood is hard, you either muscle through it or give up. The ratcheting mechanism changes the equation entirely. Each squeeze advances the blade deeper into the branch and holds its position when you release. Squeeze again and it advances further. Three or four easy compressions accomplish what one brutal squeeze could not.
This is not a gimmick. It is a mechanical advantage — the same principle as a car jack. And it means that cutting capacity is no longer limited by your grip strength. A two-inch green branch or a two-and-a-half-inch dead limb yields to the same calm, staged effort.
The Set
Two Jaws for Two Jobs
The bypass lopper is for living wood. Its two curved blades pass each other like scissors, making a clean slice that does not crush the branch tissue. The cut heals quickly. The plant stays healthy. This is the lopper you reach for when you are shaping a rose bush, thinning an apple tree, or cutting back perennials in spring.
The anvil lopper is for dead wood. A straight blade comes down onto a flat anvil surface, concentrating force at a single point. Dead wood is brittle and hard — it resists the sliding action of bypass blades but yields to the crushing geometry of an anvil. This is the lopper for clearing storm damage, removing dead branches, and cutting back anything that has already dried out. One tool cannot do both jobs well. This set gives you the right tool for each.
The Design
Reach Without a Ladder
The handles extend from 26 inches to 40 inches across six locking positions. At compact length they are maneuverable enough for close work in dense shrubs. At full extension they reach overhead branches that would otherwise require a ladder or a pole saw.
The locking mechanism is positive — it clicks into place and does not creep under load. You set the length once, and it stays there for the duration of the job. Combined with the ratcheting head, the extended handles give you both reach and force multiplied: two advantages that compound each other. A branch that was out of reach and too thick to cut becomes a branch you handle from the ground in three squeezes.

Common Questions
Before You Buy
Each blade geometry is designed for a different kind of wood. The bypass lopper makes clean, precise cuts on living green branches without crushing the tissue — important for plant health. The anvil lopper applies concentrated crushing force to dry, dead, or hardened wood that would resist a bypass blade. One tool cannot do both jobs well.
The bypass lopper handles green branches up to 2 inches in diameter. The anvil lopper cuts dead or dry wood up to 2.5 inches. The ratcheting mechanism is what makes these capacities possible — it multiplies your hand force through several compression stages.
Instead of requiring one powerful squeeze to cut through a branch, the ratcheting mechanism lets you cut in stages. Squeeze, release, squeeze again — the blade advances further with each compression without backing off. This dramatically reduces the effort needed and makes thick cuts accessible to anyone, regardless of grip strength.
The handles extend from 26 inches to 40 inches across 6 locking positions. At full extension you can reach canopy branches from the ground without a ladder. The locking positions are firm and do not slip under load.
Yes. The blades can be sharpened with a fine diamond file or sharpening stone. Keep the factory bevel angle and sharpen only the beveled side. A few passes once or twice a season will maintain cutting performance for years.

Loppers
"I'm impressed by both heavy duty poppers. Amazing what they can do with the ratcheting and extended handles!"
Fantastic Lopper Set!
"Personally, I really like the By-Pass Lopper for myself. I use it annually when trimming off the volunteer new trees that appear up against our out buildings, i. e. Barn, garage, greenhouse and small storage building. It's perfect for this job. I recently shared the usage of it to our daughter when she visited and she loved it as well. Having smaller hands, I don't use the Big Lopper. For me, it's a little large to handle, along with the weight. However, I am a senior , and I know that does make a difference! Am going to get one for my daughter who lives out of state. The quality of this equipment is the best!"
Excellent purchase
"We have used these on our farm for both decorative and fruit trees and they have made our work so much easier!"
Love These Loppers
"These loppers are very well made, heavy-duty, and worth every penny. Upon getting the loppers, I went into my woods to prep some brush piles for chipping. These are great! Lopped everything I needed. These are actually quicker than my old lazy way of trying to use the chainsaw and pole saw. The saws always resulted in thrown chains because of unstable, bouncing, and vibrating limbs and branches; therefore, a lot of time was spent putting things back together. (Sometimes the chains would be ruined!! My bad. . . . )"
Heavy duty loppers
"I have not had a chance to use them yet but I have inspected them and am satisfied with they way they are made. They appear to be very durable. I am looking forward to using them. They will get a thorough workout."
Loppers
"I’m very happy with the quality of my new loppers,they look and work great!One happy customer for sure."
Q&A
- The loppers arrived in Reno about 5-8 and they couldn't get them in the package boxes. They returned them to the main PO and gave us a track number to retrieve them. We checked at the PO about the 11th and they couldn't find them. They said they would have a supervisor check and call. It's the 19th and no calls. The retrieval slip says they will return them to shipper on the 23rd. They won't answer the phone so I can't contact them and we live out of town. If they return them to you, can you ship another carrier so they will arrive at the house? We want and need them ASAP and typical government BS has thrown a wrench in the works. Let us know.
- Mark, please call us on 1800 221 2942 if they dont show up and we will sort it out. Thank you.
- How much do these weigh? Length? Thinking about taking to Peru.
- Jeanne, Both are made for us in Taiwan. The bypass lopper weighs 3.75# and the anvil lopper weighs 4.5#
- Can you buy the gear that makes them ratchet
- Tammy, There are two gears, 1 is part of the blade and the other is in the movable handle. We have the gear and will send to you if you will give us your order information (Name that is was ordered under and Phone number).
- I have a pair of your very best loppers . A friend cut a 2 " branch off and they seemed to have jumped a cog so I took them apart and saw nothing broken but I did not try and slip the orange sleeve off the handle. It seemed to be struck and I didn't want to force it. I was wondering if it is glued on or just stuck. Also I sure would like to see a video on how to put it back together. Do you have a phone number I can call if need be. They sure worked good before my friend did them in. I just don't have the heart to tell him that I might have to give up on them. Thanks, Barry T. Bonar from Iowa
- Barry, Will need to talk to you in order to help. I have emailed my contact information. Please contact per my email.
