Frequently asked questions
What are loppers used for?
Loppers are long-handled tools designed to cut branches up to 2 inches thick, ideal for shaping trees, shrubs, and hedges.
Which is better, bypass or anvil loppers?
Bypass loppers work like scissors, making clean cuts that are perfect for live wood and green stems. Anvil loppers have a straight blade that closes against a flat surface, making them better for cutting hard, dead, or dry branches. Your choice depends on the type of plants and branches you work with most.
How long do FELCO loppers last?
With proper care and maintenance, FELCO loppers can last for decades. All forged aluminum handle models carry a lifetime warranty, while non-forged handle models are covered by a 2-year warranty. Most parts are replaceable, so you can keep your tool in top condition for many years.
How do I choose the right lopper length?
Short-handled loppers offer better control for precise cuts in tight spaces, while long-handled models provide greater reach and leverage for cutting higher branches or thicker wood without straining.
