Telescopic Garden Shears & Lopper Set
Overgrown hedges and thick, out-of-reach tree branches can make yard maintenance a physically exhausting chore. Standard pruning tools often lack the reach and leverage needed, forcing gardeners to struggle on unstable ladders or strain their backs. There has to be a smarter, safer way to keep your garden under control.
The Smarter Way to Trim
This 2-piece extendable trimming set eliminates the strain by combining long-reach hedge shears with heavy-duty bypass loppers. Featuring telescopic handles and friction-reducing non-stick blades, it provides the extra length and cutting power required to tackle your entire garden safely from the ground β no ladder required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these tools handle overhead trimming without causing shoulder strain?
Yes. Both tools feature lightweight metal and plastic construction specifically designed to minimise fatigue. The telescopic handles allow you to maintain a comfortable posture while reaching high branches, reducing strain on your shoulders and back.
Do the locking mechanisms on the extendable handles slip during use?
No. The extension mechanisms use a secure twist-and-lock system that stays firmly in place once engaged, ensuring the handles remain stable even when applying maximum force to cut through thick limbs.
Are the blades suitable for cutting both dry deadwood and live green branches?
The bypass loppers are optimised for clean cuts on live, green wood to promote healthy regrowth, but the durable steel blades are also tough enough to handle dry, brittle deadwood without chipping.
How do I maintain the non-stick coating over multiple gardening seasons?
Wipe the blades clean with warm, soapy water after heavy use, dry them thoroughly, and apply a light coat of multipurpose tool oil. Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads that could scratch the surface.
Will the rubber grips become sticky or degrade if left in the sun?
The non-slip handles are made from UV-resistant rubber designed to withstand typical outdoor exposure. To maximise their lifespan, store the tools in a shaded, dry area when not in use.
What is included in the set?
The set includes 1 x telescopic hedge shears (adjustable 63.5β78.5 cm) and 1 x bypass loppers (adjustable 64.5β90 cm). No assembly is required β both tools are ready to use straight out of the box.
How do I clean the tools after use?
Wipe down the blades with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris, then dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of tool oil to the blades and pivot points to keep them moving smoothly and prevent rust.
Are these tools suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. The ergonomic rubber grips, lightweight build, and no-assembly design make this set very approachable for first-time gardeners, while the telescopic reach and bypass cutting action also satisfy experienced users.
Can I use these tools in wet weather?
The rust-resistant, non-stick coated blades and UV-resistant rubber handles are built to withstand damp outdoor conditions. That said, we recommend drying the tools after use in wet weather to prolong their lifespan.
What is the maximum branch diameter the loppers can cut?
The bypass loppers are designed to handle branches up to approximately 35β40 mm in diameter, making them suitable for most shrubs, hedges, and small to medium tree branches.
π‘ Did You Know?
Bypass loppers make cleaner cuts than anvil-style loppers because only one blade passes through the branch β just like scissors. This reduces stem crushing and significantly lowers the risk of disease entering through the cut, helping your plants recover faster and stay healthier season after season.
