loppers

[Matthew Arnold]

We have about 15 Fiskars L27" loppers with the gear head. They are great for what we use them for. So light to carry about, very durable. We sorted the handle popping issue with a blob of araldite on the handle.

Cheers for the advice chaps. Im going for some Fiskars on Monday. However I will be making them more visible as I lost my fiskars brush hook a while back due to it being almost entirely black.....

wolf garten are good loppers

[Gavint]

I bought Barnel loppers for my own use, and am hugely satisfied with them. They were a bit pricey, at 90 euros, but they make a clean cut, are light and well made, have a lubrication point, and all the parts are replaceable.

 

At work, we use Wolf Garten loppers and pole pruners, and they are AWFUL tools to use, avoid them like the plague. They are anvil style, big and clunky, make a terrible cut while mangling the branch, and then wear out quickly, causing them to go out of line and pinch your fingers before too long, which really hurts. Verdammt scheize Werkzeuge, nein nein nein!
