The product is designed to cut thicker branches effectively. However, the exact thickness depends on the wood type and the effort you're willing to exert.

How do I clean sap from the blades?

Wipe the blades with a cloth and some soapy water. For stubborn sap, use a solvent designed for removing tree sap.

How do I store the lopper when not in use?

Store it in a dry place, preferably indoors, to protect it from the elements and prevent rust.

Use a general-purpose machine oil or a lubricant specifically designed for garden tools.
