Electric pruning loppers will be your go-to tool to remove small branches and limbs around your landscape. These basic pruning shears (AKA secateurs or clippers) are your pocket-sized workhorse that will remove branches up to 1 inch (may vary by brand). There are also electric pruning shears for homeowners who want to save wear and tear on their hands.

 

Why you need electric pruning loppers: Bypass pruners are ideal to trim bushes, remove branches at the main stem to let more light in, and trim water sprouts or small tree limbs.

 

Pro Tip: Several of these tools are “bypass” tools. Bypass refers to the cutting action of the tool. These tools have a scissor-like action where one blade runs alongside the other to make the cut. Anvil pruners, by contrast, will slightly crush the stem as one blade lands flat against another. Anvil-action tools are best for dead stems; bypass tools are best for living plant tissue.
