FAQs
What is the maximum branch thickness the lopper can cut?
The 600mm Bypass Lopper is designed to cut live branches up to a maximum thickness of 2cm.
Are these tools suitable for professional landscaping?
This set is designed for general-purpose gardening and home use. For heavy-duty or professional landscaping, more robust tools may be required.
How should I clean the secateurs after use?
Wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth after each use. For stubborn sap, use a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Periodically lubricate the pivot point.
Can the garden shears be used for thick hedges?
The 540mm Garden Shears are best suited for lighter tasks like trimming bushes and defining lawn edges. For very thick or dense hedges, a more powerful tool might be necessary.
What material are the grips made of?
The lopper and shears feature solid rubber grips, while the secateurs have ergonomically shaped PVC-coated handles.
Do I need to assemble the tools?
No, the gardening tool set comes fully assembled and is ready for use right out of the box.
How can I maintain the sharpness of the blades?
Regularly check blade sharpness. Use a whetstone or appropriate file to sharpen dull blades. Clean and lubricate after sharpening and before storage.
Troubleshooting
Lopper or shears not cutting cleanly
Ensure blades are clean and sharp. Check for any debris or sap buildup. If blades are dull, sharpen them. Also, verify the branch thickness is within the tool's specified limit (2cm for the lopper).
Handles feel loose or wobbly
Check the pivot bolt. If it is loose, carefully tighten it using an appropriate tool. Do not overtighten, as this can impede movement.
Rust appears on blades
Clean the blades thoroughly with a rust remover or fine steel wool. Dry them completely and apply a light coat of lubricating oil to protect against future corrosion. Ensure tools are stored in a dry environment.
Grips feel sticky or degraded
Clean the grips with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry. If the material has significantly degraded, it may be difficult to restore. Ensure proper storage to prolong grip life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth to remove sap and debris. For stubborn residue, use a damp cloth, ensuring the blades are dried thoroughly afterwards.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the pivot points with a light oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
