Professional straight-edge lopper, the tapered shape of the cutting head allows it to reach the innermost branches close together. The lever-assisted movement with “S” tie-rod, allows cutting branches up to 45 mm in diameter, without strain or shock on the operator. The special construction of these branch cutters provide a better handle opening/cutting capability ratio. The handles are made of extruded and anodized aluminum with an oval cross-section, capable of withstanding large stresses. The blade and “S” tie-rod (with bush), made of a high percentage carbon steel, are hot-forged. The lightweight aluminum counter-blade is hot forged and is guaranteed for life. These branch cutters are completely interchangeable. The POTATOR 60 model is preferably used in viticulture; while the POTATOR 80 is specifically for orchards (kiwi and peach trees).
