The Kent & Stowe General Purpose Loppers are hand-crafted bypass loppers designed for precision cutting and general pruning of live wood. These professional-quality loppers feature a scissor action bypass blade that delivers clean, accurate cuts with minimal damage to plant material, making them ideal for gardeners and grounds maintenance professionals. The carbon steel blades are built for strength and durability, whilst the non-stick coating ensures a smooth cutting action through branches up to 30mm in diameter. The bypass cutting mechanism is particularly suitable for live wood pruning, as it creates cleaner cuts that heal faster than anvil-style designs, promoting healthier plant growth. These general-purpose loppers are well-suited to a variety of pruning tasks in gardens, parks and landscaped areas, from maintaining shrubs and hedges to trimming back overgrown branches and general garden tidying work.
