Ingco Lopper 29 HLT7401 — 760mm Bypass Lopper, 25mm Cut

Our review

This is a long-handled bypass lopper from Ingco, listed as the Lopper 29 HLT7401. The handles run about 760mm overall, and the blade is rated for branches up to 25mm across. The cutting head is 55# carbon steel, heat treated, with a Teflon coating on the blade and a stress-relieving feature behind the edge. That combination points to a tool for garden pruning, hedge tidy-ups and light branch clearing where you want reach rather than raw force. The 25mm ceiling is the number to weigh up first: if most of your cutting is thicker than that, a pruning saw or a heavier lopper will serve you better, and if your branches are mostly thin, a smaller pair of bypass pruners is easier to control overhead. Check the blade alignment and the pivot tightness when it arrives, since a loose pivot makes clean cuts harder, and keep the Teflon surface free of sap and grit. Compare against other long-handled loppers on handle length, cutting diameter and blade steel before deciding. Available on Sokonia.
