Bypass lopper GARDENA 12006-20 — cutting diameter 3.8 cm, black/blue handles

The GARDENA bypass lopper 12006-20 is a manual pruning tool designed for clean cuts on fresh wood with a maximum cutting diameter of 3.8 cm. Constructed as a bypass lopper, it features ergonomically shaped black and blue handles for a secure grip and improved control during pruning tasks in home gardens, allotments and landscape maintenance.

Advantages

Bypass cutting action ensures precise, clean cuts that are gentle on living branches. The integrated gear transmission reduces the force required for cutting thicker stems, while lightweight lever arms and ergonomically shaped handles enhance handling and reduce fatigue. Stop buffers protect the wrist area, and the replaceable, precision-ground blade with a non-stick coating supports accurate cutting and easier maintenance.

Suitable for

• Pruning shrubs and small branches up to 3.8 cm diameter
• Routine garden maintenance and shaping of young trees
• Allotment and landscaping trimming tasks
• Cutting fresh wood where a precise, clean wound is required

Key specifications

How to use

Position the bypass lopper so the branch sits between the two blades, keeping the cut close to the branch collar without damaging it. Squeeze the handles steadily to engage the gear transmission and complete the cut in a single controlled motion. For thicker branches near the maximum cutting diameter, apply steady pressure and allow the gear mechanism to multiply your force. After use, wipe the blade clean and apply a light protective oil to the metal surfaces to reduce corrosion and maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the lopper before each use; replace the blade if it becomes dull or damaged. Use the tool only on live wood within the stated cutting diameter. For safety, wear gloves and eye protection when pruning, and store the tool dry to preserve the non-stick blade coating and the gear mechanism.
