AIRAJ Telescopic Loppers – 70-103cm, SK-5 Steel Blade

These telescopic loppers from AIRAJ are built around an SK-5 steel blade with a Teflon-like non-stick coating, which reduces friction as it cuts and helps the tool glide cleanly through branches rather than dragging or tearing. The anvil-style cutting head is designed to maximise the force delivered to each cut, meaning you can tackle thicker, woodier growth with noticeably less effort than a standard lopper would demand. A spare set of replacement blades is included, which is a genuinely useful touch that extends the life of the tool considerably.

The handles are made from aluminium alloy and extend across six adjustable positions, stretching from 70cm up to just over a metre. That range makes it straightforward to reach into the canopy of a small tree or work through a tall hedge without needing a ladder, and the alloy construction keeps the tool rigid at full extension rather than flexing underfoot. The rubber-coated grips help maintain control during longer sessions, reducing hand fatigue and the risk of slipping mid-cut.

The compound action mechanism is where these loppers really earn their keep — it multiplies your cutting force so branches that would normally require a real struggle come away cleanly and quickly. They suit a broad range of users, from professional groundskeepers and nursery workers through to enthusiastic home gardeners who want a reliable, long-reach tool for seasonal pruning of trees, shrubs, and established hedging.
