STIHL PL 30

Description

The STIHL PL 30 Lopper is a 28-inch pruning lopper built with a lightweight aircraft aluminum handle and drop-forged, offset alloy steel blades for tackling tree branches up to 2 inches in diameter. Deep jaws help keep the blades locked onto the cut, and the blades can be resharpened with a simple file or honing stone. Lightweight and nimble despite its reach, the PL 30 is well suited to everyday tree care and property pruning.
