The Mechanism
More Power Into Every Cut
Ratcheting Action
The oversized ratcheting mechanism lets you cut in stages. Squeeze, release, squeeze again — the blade advances without backing off, putting more power into every cut. A 2″ branch yields to ordinary grip strength.
Bypass Head
Two curved blades pass each other like scissors. The result is a clean, precise slice through living green wood — no crushed tissue, so the cut heals fast and the plant stays healthy.
Telescoping Handles
Extend from 26″ to a full 40″ across 6 pin stops, with rubber grips. The pin stops lock firmly and do not slip under load — set the length once and it stays there for the job.
Replaceable Blade
When the edge eventually wears, you replace the blade — not the tool. A replacement blade is available separately, so this lopper is built to stay in service for the long haul.
The Reach
Prune the High Branches From Where You Stand
The telescoping handles extend from 26 inches to a full 40 inches across six pin stops. At compact length the lopper is maneuverable enough for close work in dense shrubs. At full extension it reaches overhead branches that would otherwise mean fetching a ladder. The pin stops click positively into place and hold under load, and the rubber grips keep your hands planted through repeated cuts.
Combined with the ratcheting head, the extended handles give you reach and force at the same time — a green branch that was out of reach and too thick to cut becomes a branch you slice cleanly from the ground. As one verified buyer, Ann W., puts it: “I’m 76 years old and have arthritis in my thumbs. I can do the trimming easly with these cutters.”

Two Cuts. Two Tools. One Complete Kit.

Before You Buy
A bypass lopper cuts like scissors — two curved blades pass each other, slicing cleanly through living, green wood without crushing the branch tissue, so the cut heals quickly and the plant stays healthy. An anvil lopper drives a straight blade down onto a flat surface, which suits dead, dry wood that would resist a bypass blade. This is the bypass lopper. If you prune both kinds of wood, it is also available paired with its anvil counterpart as the Heavy Duty Lopper Set.
Green, living branches up to 2 inches in diameter. The oversized ratcheting mechanism is what makes that capacity possible — it multiplies your hand force through several compression stages, so thick cuts do not depend on grip strength.
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 telescoping handles extend from 26 inches to a full 40 inches across 6 pin stops, with rubber grips. At full extension you can reach overhead branches from the ground. The pin stops lock firmly and do not slip under load.
Both. A replacement blade is available separately, so the tool outlasts its edge. Between replacements, the blade can be touched up with a fine diamond file or sharpening stone — keep the factory bevel angle and sharpen only the beveled side.

Reviews
A whole different level
"These loppers are on a whole different level. Yes, they are seem more expensive than what you might see in big box store, but when you see the quality difference you’ll feel like any other lopper you’ve bought cheated you out of the quality you could have with these. Both light for their size and yet rock solid, with generous extending handles. Cuts are smooth and don’t feel hard. Truly like amazing tool."
"Great product. My husband really liked it"
This is a great product
"I am a 73 y/o woman with arthritic hands. This lopper easily trims branches. Thick ones I couldn’t do with my old lopper. The ratcheting cutting feature really makes it easy. The extending handles give more leverage and reaches higher branches. I have purchased other tools from Garrett Wade and have never been disappointed. Thank you for quality products."
