Fiskars PowerGear Bypass Lopper, Hook Head, 50 mm

The Fiskars PowerGear Bypass Lopper (L78) is designed for pruning live, green wood. Its bypass blades slide past each other, ensuring clean cuts that minimise damage to the plant. It is suitable for heavy-duty garden maintenance, cutting branches up to 50 mm thick. At 692 mm long, the lopper provides enough leverage to cut through tough branches without requiring excessive physical effort, making it easy to reach into dense shrubs and lower tree canopies.

The handles are made of durable FiberComp. This rigid composite resists bending even under load. While it lacks a telescopic mechanism, the fixed-handle design ensures consistent power transfer during every cut. The ergonomic grips are shaped for comfort during long sessions, while soft inserts improve control and dampen the shock of cutting through thicker limbs.

• Weight of 1060 g – remains manageable for extended periods of overhead pruning
• Hardened carbon steel blade – holds a sharp edge during repeated use on living wood
• Non-stick blade coating – prevents sap and resin buildup for smoother cuts
• PowerGear mechanism – multiplies force to reduce hand fatigue during intensive tasks
• Hook head profile – grips the branch to prevent slipping during the cut
