Frequently Asked Questions

What diameter branches can Wilkinson Sword tree loppers cut?

Most Wilkinson Sword tree loppers handle branches between 30mm to 50mm diameter, depending on the model. Their compound action loppers can tackle the upper end of this range with minimal effort, whilst standard bypass models work best with branches up to 40mm for optimal cutting performance.

How do I maintain my Wilkinson Sword loppers?

Clean blades after each use with a damp cloth, removing sap and debris. Apply light machine oil to the blade and pivot points regularly. Sharpen bypass blades annually using a whetstone on the bevelled edge only, and tighten the pivot bolt if blades become loose during use.

What's the difference between bypass and anvil loppers?

Bypass loppers work like scissors with two blades passing each other, ideal for live green wood requiring clean cuts. Anvil loppers feature a single blade closing onto a flat surface, better suited for dry, dead branches where a crushing action is more effective than a slicing cut.
