Product Information

Full details

The Kimura Pro Compound Loppers are designed for avid gardeners and homeowners who need a reliable, heavy-duty tool for managing overgrown trees, dense hedges, and thick shrubs. By utilizing an advanced compound action mechanism, these loppers significantly reduce the physical strain required to cut branches up to 35mm thick, making them an excellent choice for extended yard work; however, users should be mindful that the telescopic reach requires careful handling to maintain leverage and control at full extension.

FAQs

Can these loppers cut through green wood?

Yes, the SK5 steel blades are sharp enough for live green wood, though anvil blades are traditionally better suited for dead, hard wood.

How do I extend the handles?

Rotate the locking collars on the handles counter-clockwise to release, extend to your desired length, and rotate clockwise to secure.

Are the blades replaceable?

The blades are made of high-quality Japanese steel and are designed for longevity, but should be kept sharp using a whetstone or sharpening tool.

What is the maximum branch thickness these can handle?

The loppers are designed to handle branches up to 35mm in diameter.

Is the aluminium handle rust-proof?

The aluminium handles are corrosion-resistant, and the steel components are treated with anti-rust coatings.

Troubleshooting

Handles slip while cutting

Ensure the twist-lock mechanism is rotated firmly in the 'lock' direction until you feel resistance.

Blade feels sticky or difficult to close

Clean the blade surface with a cloth to remove sap buildup and apply a light machine oil to the pivot point.

Loppers fail to cut through 35mm branches

Ensure you are using the compound action correctly by fully opening the handles and ensuring the branch is deep within the jaw, closer to the pivot point for maximum leverage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces required cutting force
  • Adjustable length is ideal for high-reaching tasks
  • Non-stick blade coating simplifies cleaning
  • Ergonomic grips prevent user fatigue
  • Capable of cutting branches up to 35mm thick

Cons

  • Heavy usage at full extension requires more upper body stability
  • Anvil-style blades may require more precision than bypass styles on live green wood
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain smooth operation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the loppers for use, ensure the twist-lock mechanisms are fully tightened before making a cut to prevent the handles from slipping unexpectedly.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe the SK5 steel blades with a dry cloth. If sap has hardened, use a mild solvent or specialized blade cleaner.
  • Storage: Always retract the handles to their shortest position and store in a cool, dry place to protect the anti-rust finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the tension of the center pivot bolt. Ensure it is tight enough to hold the blades together, but not so tight that it prevents the compound action from engaging smoothly.
  • Safety: Always wear garden gloves and eye protection while operating to guard against flying debris or slipping limbs.
