Overview
A bypass blade sliding past a hook gives this Corona lopper its clean, scissor-style cut on live wood. Long stainless steel handles add leverage, and the red finish makes the tool easy to find in the yard.
Long handles and a generous cutting capacity let one person take on thicker limbs from the ground. Handle length appears as two different figures, and grip material is not described.
Who it's for
Tree trimming and shrub shaping with larger limbs suit the long handles. Light pruning jobs may be easier with a shorter, lighter tool.
Pros and cons
- Large cutting capacity
- Long handles add leverage
- Bypass cut on live wood
- Lifetime warranty listed
- Handle length listed two ways
- Grip material not described
- No compound linkage listed
Performance notes
The long handles multiply the force applied at the blade, which cuts thicker wood with less squeezing. A bypass action closes like scissors, which reduces crushing of living branches compared with a hammer-style cut.
