Boddingtons Electrical Insulated Tree Pruner
Standard
Insulated Tools are manufactured according to the International IEC60900 standards for working with live systems up to 1000 V AC & 1500 V DC
An Insulated Tree Lopper is a tool designed for trimming tree branches while providing electrical insulation to protect the user from accidental contact with power lines or other live electrical systems. This tool is especially important for arborists, utility workers, and anyone working around trees near electrical infrastructure.

Features
- Blade manufactured from alloy steel with aluminum bottom jaw
- Jaws hardened and tempered to 35 HRC
- Blade induction hardened to 50 HRC
Key Features:
- Insulation: The primary feature of an insulated tree lopper is its insulation, which protects the user from electric shock when cutting branches near live electrical wires. This insulation is often made of non-conductive materials, tested to withstand high voltages.
- Long Reach: Many insulated tree loppers come with extendable poles or long handles, allowing the user to reach high branches without needing a ladder, which adds another layer of safety.
- Sharp Blades: The lopper blades are designed to efficiently cut through branches with minimal force. They are often made from high-strength, durable materials like carbon steel, designed for clean cuts on tree limbs.
- Ergonomic Handles: The handles are usually designed for comfort and control, reducing fatigue during prolonged use.
- Non-conductive Components: All parts of the lopper, from the handles to the connecting joints, are made from materials that won’t conduct electricity, enhancing safety.
Use Cases:
- Utility Workers: Essential for trimming branches that are near power lines, helping to maintain the safety and reliability of the electrical grid.
- Arborists: Used when performing tree care around electrical infrastructure.
- Emergency Services: Can be employed during storm clean-up to safely remove branches that have fallen onto power lines or electrical equipment.
Insulated tree loppers are crucial for reducing the risk of electrocution in potentially hazardous environments, making them indispensable for professionals working around electrical hazards.
