KÄRCHER has introduced a new battery-powered tree lopper for "precise cuts of shrubs and thin branches". 

The manufacturer says the TLO 2-18 offers a high degree of flexibility and range, thanks to an exchangeable battery and optional telescopic extension. 

The 18 V exchangeable battery provides the necessary power for gardening work, while the compact design ensures user-friendly and effortless application.

For the precise cutting of shrubs and branches, the battery tree lopper has bypass blades, which Kärcher says, ensure accurate cuts. Branches up to 25 mm can be easily cut with the little helper. 

The soft handle with an ergonomic design also enables comfortable use.

Furthermore, the tree lopper impresses with its low weight of only 1 kg. It comes with a safety lock release which prevents unintentional activation, thus avoiding possible injuries.

By means of a telescopic extension, which is available separately, high branches up to 3.5 metres high can also be easily reached with the TLO 2-18. To assemble the telescopic extension, the battery base is removed and fitted at the handle of the extension. As a result, the weight of the shears is reduced and the operating comfort is enhanced.
