Pruning shears Flo 99103, bypass lopper, length 535 mm, 1 pc

Flo 99103 pruning shears are a bypass-style lopper with a total length of 535 mm supplied as a single unit. Designed for cutting branches and stems during garden maintenance, this tool provides extended reach and mechanical advantage for pruning shrubs, fruit trees and ornamental plants. The bypass cutting action produces a clean slice suitable for live wood up to the specified cutting diameter while long handles reduce the need to bend or climb for medium-height pruning tasks.

Advantages

The tool features blades made from 65Mn manganese steel for abrasion resistance and reliable edge retention. A PTFE coating on the top blade reduces friction and facilitates smoother cuts, while the combination of steel and polypropylene (PP) in the handles delivers strength with ergonomic grip points. With a maximum cutting diameter of 25 mm and a rounded blade profile, this lopper is suitable for precise trimming without crushing plant tissue. The absence of a locking mechanism simplifies operation for users who prefer quick, continuous cutting.

Suitable for

• Pruning small branches and stems on shrubs and hedges
• Maintenance trimming of fruit trees and ornamental plants
• Garden clearance and light pruning tasks around the home
• Seasonal shaping and thinning of shoots up to 25 mm diameter

How to use

Hold the Flo 99103 lopper with both hands on the handles, positioning the blades around the branch you intend to cut. Apply steady pressure and close the handles to complete the bypass cutting action, ensuring the branch is supported to avoid tearing. For best results, cut at a slight angle to promote wound drainage and healthy regrowth. Do not attempt to cut material exceeding the 25 mm maximum diameter; use a larger tool for thicker branches.

Usage recommendations

Keep blades clean and dry after each use and periodically remove sap or debris from the PTFE-coated surface to maintain smooth cutting. Lightly oil the pivot area and sharpen the blade as needed to preserve cutting performance. Store the lopper in a dry place away from corrosive environments. For safety, wear gloves and eye protection during pruning and avoid using the tool on frozen or very hard wood.
