FAQ

What is a ratchet lopper?

A ratchet lopper is a gardening tool with a mechanism that increases cutting force. The ratchet allows you to gradually cut through thick branches without too much effort. This system is particularly useful for hard or dry wood. It provides a clean and precise cut while relieving strain on your arms. This tool is suitable for both amateur and professional gardeners looking for efficiency and comfort in pruning, shrub trimming, or regular maintenance work.

Why choose a rack and pinion model?

The lopper's rack-and- pinion mechanism allows you to cut thicker branches without strain. It distributes pressure in several stages, reducing physical effort while providing a more controlled cut. This system is ideal for people who garden frequently or who lack hand strength. It improves comfort, precision, and cutting safety. It's an excellent choice for frequent pruning or for handling robust plants.

What diameter can you cut with it?

Most ratchet loppers can cut branches from 30 to 45 mm in diameter, depending on the model. This makes them ideal for shrubs, fruit trees, thick hedges, or hardwood. More robust models can even exceed these capacities. Before purchasing, it's important to check the technical specifications. For a medium to large garden, this is the perfect tool for effortless pruning while achieving a clean, crisp cut.

Is this type of lopper heavy?

Not necessarily. Although the ratchet lopper is more robust than a traditional model, it remains lightweight thanks to materials like aluminum or carbon. Its ergonomic shape and non-slip handles allow for easy handling. Even with an integrated mechanism, the weight is well distributed, reducing fatigue during long gardening sessions. It combines strength and comfort, making it a powerful and pleasant tool for all types of users.

What is the difference with a classic branch cutter?

Unlike a conventional model, the ratchet lopper operates in stages thanks to an internal mechanism. This system allows for less force to be applied while achieving a more powerful cut. The conventional model, on the other hand, requires more direct and sustained pressure, which can be tiring on hardwood. The ratchet makes the tool more suitable for intense work or users seeking comfort. It also offers greater control and a more consistent cut.

Does it need to be maintained often?

Yes, a ratchet lopper requires regular maintenance to ensure its performance. After each use, clean the blades and remove any sap or wood residue. Lightly greasing the mechanism and axles helps maintain smooth operation. It's also recommended to sharpen the blades from time to time to maintain a clean cut. Proper maintenance extends the tool's lifespan and ensures consistent, comfortable use without excessive strain.

How to maintain a telescopic branch cutter?

Maintenance is simple but essential. Simply clean the blades after each use to prevent sap or debris from accumulating. It's also recommended to sharpen them regularly to maintain an efficient cut. Lightly greasing the metal parts and telescopic mechanism extends the tool's lifespan. Store it away from moisture to prevent rust. Regular maintenance ensures better performance and prevents premature wear.
