Bypass lopper Fiskars L70, length 460 mm, model 1002104

The Fiskars Bypass Lopper PowerGear™ L70 is a compact, easy-to-handle garden tool designed for precise cutting of twigs and lighter branches. At 460 mm overall length, it combines a bypass cutting action with FiberComp™ handles for a lightweight yet rigid feel. The lopper uses Fiskars' patented PowerGear™ mechanism to reduce cutting effort and blades made of extra-hard, corrosion-resistant CrMoV steel for longer edge life. The upper blade has a PTFE non-stick coating to lower friction and simplify cutting and cleaning, while the hook head design helps secure branches during cuts.

Advantages

The PowerGear™ mechanism provides up to three times easier cutting compared to standard mechanisms. FiberComp™ handles make the tool lightweight without sacrificing strength. CrMoV steel blades resist corrosion and stay sharper longer, and the PTFE-coated upper blade reduces sticking and aids maintenance. The hook head offers improved control of fresh wood during heavy cutting.

Suitable for

• Pruning small branches and twigs
• Garden maintenance and shaping shrubs
• Cutting fresh (green) wood
• General backyard pruning tasks

Key specifications

How to use

Place the branch between the bypass blades with the thicker branch against the hook head to hold it steady. Squeeze the handles together with a smooth motion until the blades complete the cut; the PowerGear™ mechanism will reduce the required force. After cutting, wipe away sap or debris from the PTFE-coated upper blade to keep it moving freely. For best results, make clean cuts at an angle appropriate for the plant species being pruned.

Usage recommendations

Use the lopper for branches within its capacity (light to medium thickness). Regularly clean and dry the blades after use, apply light oil to prevent corrosion despite the CrMoV steel, and inspect the tool for damage before each season. Store in a dry place away from children.
