Similar to pruning shears with very long handles, loppers are a type of scissors used for trimming twigs and short branches. The largest category of manual garden cutting tools, they are.
To provide good leverage, their handles are normally between 30 centimetres (12 in) and 91 centimetres (36 in) long and are frequently used with two hands. Some of them include telescopic handles that can be extended to a length of two metres, allowing the user to reach high branches on a tree and boost leverage. Loppers are mostly used for cutting branches off trees that have diameters of less than 5 centimetres (2 in). Some of the more recent lopper designs incorporate a gear, compound lever system, or ratchet that enhances the force imparted to the blades.
