Fiskars PowerGear™ Bypass Lopper, Hook Head (M) L74 is a mid sized lopper for tree pruning and other heavier cutting tasks. Its handles are made from FiberComp™ to make them extremely lightweight and strong while its patented PowerGear™ mechanism makes the cutting 3 times easier compared to standard mechanisms. The blades are made from extra hard, corrosion resistant steel (CrMoV, HRC 60) ensuring that they stay sharper for longer and this quality is further enhanced by non stick PTFE coating on upper blade to reduce friction and make cutting and cleaning easier. The special hook head blade design is perfect for heavy cutting of fresh wood, for example cutting tree branches.
