Burgon & Ball Telescopic Bypass Lopper – RHS Endorsed Compound Action Pruner

The Burgon & Ball Telescopic Bypass Lopper is an elite-tier pruning tool, officially endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society. Engineered for versatility and power, this lopper features a unique compound action mechanism that provides up to 50% more cutting force than standard models. With ultra-lightweight aluminium shafts that extend up to 100cm, it allows for effortless overhead work and deep reach into dense shrubs, all while maintaining the surgical precision of a bypass cutting action.

Best For: Gardeners requiring maximum leverage for general-purpose pruning of green wood and thicker branches, especially those needing to reach high or awkward areas without heavy equipment.

Key Features

• 50% More Cutting Power: The specialized unique compound action multiplies the force applied, making it significantly easier to slice through thicker branches with less physical effort.
• Bypass Cutting Action: Designed to provide clean, healthy cuts on live stems, minimizing plant trauma and encouraging faster healing compared to anvil-style loppers.
• Twist-Lock Telescopic Handles: Features a patented one-handed telescopic mechanism that extends the overall length from 68cm to 100cm, perfect for varying heights and reaching into the back of borders.
• High-Carbon Steel Blades: Forged from premium steel to ensure lasting sharpness and durability through years of heavy-duty seasonal pruning.
• Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Shafts: Constructed for overhead ergonomics, the lightweight frame combined with comfortable rubber grips prevents arm fatigue during extended use.
