Pruning shears Flo 99116 — bypass lopper, 690 mm handle length, single piece

Flo 99116 pruning shears are a bypass-style lopper with a 690 mm handle length, supplied as a single piece for direct use. Designed to cut medium-thick branches, this garden tool provides extended reach to help trim shrubs, shape small trees and maintain hedges without the need for ladders. The cutting head uses a bypass mechanism for precise, clean cuts that promote plant health.

Advantages

The bypass lopper is built to cut branches up to 45 mm in diameter while preserving wood fibers, reducing damage to living plants. Handles are specially shaped to improve grip and leverage during cutting, and the manganese steel cutting components offer high abrasion resistance for longer life. A PTFE surface layer on cutting parts improves sliding action and reduces sticking, making repetitive pruning tasks easier and more efficient.

Suitable for

• Pruning and shaping shrubs and small trees
• Cutting medium-thick branches up to 45 mm in diameter
• Hedge maintenance and trimming at elevated reach
• General garden maintenance where precise bypass cuts are required

Key specifications

• Tool type: bypass lopper (pruning shears)
• Handle length: 690 mm for extended reach
• Maximum cutting capacity: up to 45 mm branch diameter
• Blade material: manganese steel for high abrasion resistance
• Anti-stick coating: PTFE layer on cutting surface
• Supply format: single-piece tool (ready to use)

How to use

Position the bypass blades around the branch at the desired cutting point and apply steady pressure on the handles until the cut is complete. Use the extended 690 mm handles to reach higher or deeper areas without stretching or using a ladder. For best results, cut branches at a slight angle just above a bud or side shoot. Keep hands and fingers clear of the cutting zone and maintain a stable stance while operating the tool.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the blade and joint before each use and clean any sap or debris from the PTFE-coated surface to maintain smooth cutting action. Use the lopper on branches within the specified maximum diameter to avoid overstressing components. Store the tool in a dry place and periodically sharpen or service the manganese steel blade to preserve cutting performance.
