  • Most critical review

    Disappointing product

    Vague action. Does not cut cleanly.60 cm diameter pruning is over ambitious, Lopping with this kit is now hard work Maximum extension of the handles makes them seem vunerable to bending Maybe I made the wrong choice, perhaps I expected too much. Possibly I was unlucky. .It looks very nice and is well finished ,Small compensation for my disappointment

  • Effective lopper

    I lopped a contorted willow and an overgrown large shrub with thick branches. I found the lopper a little bit tricky to use on thicker branches, to get the linkage mechanism to click into the maximum leverage position, but once I found out how to do it, cutting 3-4cm branches worked well. The telescopic handles are easy to use, but I found it equally easy to apply too much pressure, causing them to flex, so the user has to be careful not to over-stress them. Overall I'm pleased with the tool, it's well made and does the job.

  • Blade seems good but so far the ratchet ...

    Blade seems good but so far the ratchet hasn't worked very smoothly. Might have to get used to it or see it loosen up but not that great for "top of the range"

  • Sturdy tool !

    Its ok but a screw fell off of it as i was finishing up. Good job it fell off onto the grass and not in to the bushes or else i wouldnt have found it and it would be going back. The ratchet action takes a bit of getting use to and it didnt always seem to engage unless it was me not doing it properly. Overall a good sturdy tool and i cut some fairly thick branches with it but dont know if its any better than one £10 cheaper.

  • Strong, lightweight and easy to use

    I was finding my old loppers almost impossible to use as I have arthritis in my neck, shoulders back and hands, but these ratchet loppers make cutting through even quite thick branches a doddle for me - and they're also lighter than my old loppers too, making it much easier for me to hold them up in the air. I'm delighted with them!

  • Excellent easy to use tool, strong and light.

    An excellent piece of equipment, I have use this tool all day today in dense woodland thinning trees and shrubs. It cuts quite thick branches (up to 50 mm) with minimum effort, there is a method to use and once mastered is simple to operate, it is a ratchet system so don't try to cut in one move, even if you are strong enough but use the mechanism to your advantage.

  • My garden needs this

    Wouldn't be without it. Infact 2nd one I've had over the years and wouldn't buy any other make. So easy on the hands too and always gives straight easy cut.

  • Loppers

    Needed to remember to locate the stem at the fulcrum of the blade to get the ratchet to work properly. Once that was done they were ok. Easier to adjust with this handle configuration and very comfortable to grip and tubular handlesare strong Struggled at first with 40mm elder. Haven't used it for max capacity yet but should be ok now they get used properly.
