Efficient Gardening: Homeowner’s Guide to Drip Irrigation
Jun 8th 2026
The Fiskars Telescoping Bypass Lopper is built for gardeners and homeowners who need to tackle thick overhead branches without strain. Fiskars' Power-Lever® technology uses compound leverage to make cutting up to two times easier than traditional single-pivot loppers, powering cleanly through branches up to 1-3/4" in diameter. The bypass blade style delivers smooth, precise cuts that promote healthy regrowth — ideal for fruit trees, shade trees, shrubs, and hedges.

Telescoping steel handles extend from 25" to 37", giving you extra reach without overextending, and Tight-Lock tabs secure the handles at your chosen length for consistent, controlled cuts. The fully hardened, precision-ground steel blade features a low-friction, rust-resistant coating that glides through wood, resists sap buildup, and stays sharp through heavy use. Softgrip® touchpoints reduce hand fatigue during extended pruning sessions. Backed by Fiskars' lifetime warranty.

What is the maximum branch diameter this lopper can cut?
This lopper is rated for branches up to 1-3/4" in diameter. It is a bypass-blade tool, so it performs best on live, green growth rather than dry or dead wood.
How does the Power-Lever® mechanism work?
Power-Lever® uses a compound lever design with multiple pivot points to multiply your applied force, making each cut up to two times easier than a traditional single-pivot lopper.
This is especially useful when cutting thicker branches where a standard lopper would require significantly more hand strength.
How do I lock the handles at my desired length?
Flip up the orange Tight-Lock tabs on the handles, extend each handle to your desired length, then press the tabs back down to lock them securely in place before cutting.
How should I maintain the blade?
After each use, wipe the blade clean of sap and debris with a dry cloth. The low-friction coating helps resist buildup, but periodic cleaning and light oiling of the pivot point will extend the tool's life.
Store in a dry location. If the blade becomes dull over time, Fiskars offers replacement blades compatible with the Power-Lever lopper line.
