Don’t waste time and energy doing it the hard way， our lightweight lopper delivers the power you need for a job well done. With the press of a button， HART’S electric 20V Lopper Kit can cut through a 1-1/4” thick softwood branch， and a 1” thick hardwood branch， completely clean. The tool measures 34” long， which allows you to reach higher (up to 8.5’ reach) and further to give you the leverage needed to cut thicker branches. It also features a bypass cutting action for precise cuts and a branch hook for removing stubborn branches. Additionally， it has a lockout slide to prevent accidental cuts while the comfort grip handle is made to cushion impact. Most importantly， this tool is cordless， so you’re free to work anywhere without tripping over or getting tangled up in cords. It runs on the same 20V platform， so you can use the same battery you use for all your other 20V HART tools.
