Chikamasa LP-650 Lopper, Carbon Steel, Fluorine Coated

Chikamasa LP-650 — Professional Loppers, Carbon Steel, Fluorine Coated, 24 in

Loppers are the tool of choice when branches are too thick for scissors or hand pruners but a full saw is not necessary. The longer handles of a lopper provide the leverage needed to cut through thick stems and branches cleanly and efficiently, while the longer reach allows work at heights and depths that would be difficult with a hand tool. Chikamasa's LP-650 brings Japanese craftsmanship and fluorine-coated carbon steel blades to the professional lopper category, in a tool designed for both durability and ease of use.

The Chikamasa LP-650 features high-quality carbon steel blades with a fluorine coating to prevent sap and debris from sticking to the blade during use. Total length is 24 inches (610 mm), blade length is 53 mm, and weight is 600 g — lightweight for its size, yet rigid enough for clean cuts through thick branches. The LP-650 also features a replaceable blade (replacement part number LP-650-K), extending the service life of the tool when the blade eventually needs replacement. The PA/GF composite body and PP grip complete a professional-grade construction.

Key Features & Benefits

• Carbon steel blades with fluorine coating — high-quality carbon steel cutting blades are fluorine-coated to prevent sap and plant material from sticking during use.
• 24 in total length — 24-inch (610 mm) total length provides the leverage and reach needed for cutting thick branches efficiently.
• Lightweight yet rigid — PA/GF composite body provides a lightweight structure that remains rigid under cutting pressure.
• Replaceable blade — blade can be replaced when worn (replacement part: LP-650-K), extending the overall service life of the lopper body.
• Made in Japan — manufactured in Japan to Chikamasa quality standards for professional-grade construction and precision cutting.

Who Should Use Chikamasa LP-650 Loppers

Growers and horticulture professionals who need a professional-grade lopper for cutting thick branches or stems that are beyond the capacity of hand scissors or pruners — and who want Japanese-made construction with a fluorine-coated blade and replaceable blade design.

Loppers vs. Hand Pruners: Choosing the Right Tool

Loppers are designed for cutting through branches and stems that are too large for hand scissors or pruners. The long handles provide leverage that multiplies cutting force, making it possible to cut through thick material with less effort than a hand tool would require. The LP-650 is specifically designed as a professional lopper with a replaceable blade — when the blade eventually dulls beyond resharpening, the LP-650-K replacement blade can be installed in the existing handle body.
