Pruning lopper Tvardy 780mm, bypass blade 65Mn with PTFE coating

Pruning lopper Tvardy 780mm with a bypass cutting mechanism and a hardened 65Mn steel blade finished with PTFE coating, designed for cutting branches and woody stems in gardens and orchards. The 780 mm long handles provide increased leverage for medium to thick branches while the bypass action gives clean, precise cuts suitable for regular pruning, shaping and maintenance of trees and shrubs. The PTFE coating reduces friction, helps resist corrosion and supports smoother cutting performance over time.

Advantages

The bypass blade geometry enables close, scissor-like cuts that minimise damage to living plant tissue, improving wound closure and plant health. Hardened 65Mn steel provides wear resistance and edge retention for repeated use in outdoor conditions. The PTFE coating reduces sticking and friction between blade and wood, facilitating easier cutting of sap- and resinous stems and helping to limit corrosion from exposure to moisture. Long handles increase mechanical advantage, reducing user effort for thicker branches.

Suitable for

• Pruning fruit trees and ornamental trees
• Trimming shrubs and hedges
• Cutting woody stems and medium-diameter branches
• Garden maintenance and seasonal shaping

Key specifications

• Overall handle length: 780 mm
• Cutting mechanism: bypass (scissor-style)
• Blade material: hardened 65Mn steel
• Blade finish: PTFE coating for reduced friction and corrosion resistance
• Typical use: medium to thick branches, woody stems

How to use

Position the bypass blades so the cutting blade passes close to the fixed counter blade and place the branch as deep as practical into the cutting throat to achieve a clean cut. Use both hands on the handles and apply steady pressure until the blade completes the cut. For branches thicker than the recommended capacity, make a relief cut first or use a suitable saw to avoid over-stressing the tool. After use, wipe blades clean of sap and debris and operate the lopper through a few open-close cycles to ensure smooth action.

Usage recommendations

To maintain cutting performance and prolong tool life, regularly clean the blade, remove sap deposits after each use, and lightly lubricate the pivot and blade with a suitable oil. Sharpen the blade when it becomes dull and store the lopper in a dry place. Wear appropriate hand protection and eye protection when cutting branches.
