Loppers

[dogman]

I broke the telescopic ratchet on my rs650t wolf loppers, has anyone else done this & if so is it fixable ?, & can anyone recommend any other makes, I prefer the anvil type as I don't have to open them so far.

Bacho. 👍

I use Wilkinson Sword loppers. I've got a plastic pair with a 20"ish handle and they're very very good.

Fiskars. If you can't fix your wolf. There're very very good. The design is great and 4'2 mtr extended.

I've got the steel gear version which presumably is the older ones. Done us well cutting up to 40 mm. Same short handles though

Can you still buy them? I'm after some collapsible ones that can fit in a jacket for when walking badly overgrown footpaths and 40mm capacity would be marvellous.

They do a 26" bypass ones that do 38mm and a 21" anvil pair that does 35mm. None of they have the fancy ratchet or gearing that our ones do it seems.

Thanks for the advice.

My mate just got a pair of Sthil ones, I'm very impressed with them.

Bought some for the boss from the same place as mine and they had changed to plastic. So I suspect progress. They are still very good but with wider plastic gears. Cutting 40 mm you might need to work them around the branch a little, like a pipe cutter to be safe. Bought these something like 10 years ago maybe longer for the steel ones. You might need deep pockets in your jacket though.
