The professional vine and light tree lopper is widely used by professional vineyard pruners as well as home gardeners for grape, shrub and tree pruning. This is the ideal bypass lopper for pruning and training of vines. Features a small cutting head for easy access to hidden branches. The swivel head bolt and nylon-padded nut ensure smooth and lasting operation. Rubber bumpers absorb the shock on completion of the cut. Designed for cutting live wood. The cutting blade of this lopper slides past a counter blade in a scissor action, hence the name "bypass". The pivot bolt of the lopper is offset from the natural center-line of the tool.
