Long Handle Loppers

When the weather warms up and everything starts greening, there’s nothing quite like heading outside to tidy up the yard, orchard, or fencerow. Long handled loppers are a must-have tool for anyone with trees, shrubs, or a stubborn tangle of brush to keep in check. Folks who’ve spent a few seasons working the land know the right pair of loppers can make all the difference, whether you’re trimming back overgrown limbs before they snag the tractor, shaping up a hedge that’s gotten a bit wild, or clearing out dead branches after a spring storm. The extra reach that long handled loppers provide means you can get up into those taller branches without hauling out a ladder, and you can tackle thicker, tougher wood that would leave your hands aching if you tried to use smaller pruners. They’re a favorite for everyone from seasoned gardeners to folks just starting to make their property their own, and they’re handy for jobs big and small—snipping suckers off fruit trees, clearing trails, or even prepping firewood for the coming winter.

If you’re thinking about picking up a pair of long handled loppers, there are a few things worth considering to make sure you get the right fit for your needs. The length of the handles matters—a longer handle gives you more leverage for thicker branches, but you’ll want to make sure they’re not so long they’re awkward to use or store. Weight is another factor; you want something sturdy enough to take on heavy limbs but light enough you can use it all afternoon without feeling it the next day. Comfort counts, too—look for cushioned grips and smooth action, especially if you have a lot of cutting ahead of you. Some folks prefer loppers with adjustable handles for reaching deep into brush or up high, while others stick with a classic fixed handle for its reliability. If you’re dealing with green, living wood, you might want to check out Bypass Loppers, which are designed for clean, precise cuts that help keep your plants healthy. On the other hand, if you’re tackling dead or dry branches, anvil-style loppers can deliver the extra power you need.

Long handled loppers aren’t just for the person who does all the heavy lifting around the homestead—they make a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves working outdoors, whether it’s a neighbor with a knack for gardening, a parent who takes pride in a tidy yard, or a friend who’s always lending a hand with fence repairs and brush clearing. They’re a practical addition to any tool shed, and when you pick up loppers at Tractor Supply, you know you’re getting tools built to last through years of hard work. As May rolls in and the days stretch longer, it’s the perfect time to get out and tackle those pruning projects you’ve been putting off. With the right pair of loppers, you’ll be ready for whatever the season brings—whether it’s shaping up the orchard, reclaiming a patch of overgrown pasture, or just making sure your favorite shade tree stays healthy for another summer.
