Loppers "sick of expensive rubbish"

[SteveA]

Fiskars are reasonably priced and work great.

 

They also have excellent customer service.

I broke my first pair of Fiskars loppers and they sent/ upgraded me a bigger pair for free.

cheers, steve

You might look at Wolf loppers. We have had a couple of pairs for 20 years! Nice and easy to use, and relatively cheap. Try Briants of Risborough 01844343663 or .co.uk

I use wolf ones as well, the extending ones.

 

***POWER Cut Bypass Lopper

 

Big and chunky, a renault espace ran them over (when I left them in a stupid place) and it broke the very bottom of the handles (last inch or so) which doesn't have metal in it just plastic. Otherwise absolutley fine as long as you dont try to cut too big.

Fiskars all they way mate the handles are strong so no bending and not knuckle breakers like most lopper

Another one for Corona, 6' or 7' versions... FR Jones will sell you some

[Vespasian]

Fiskars, wont touch owt else..

Had the fiskars bypass for years, very good.

Just checked out the Wolf stuff which looks good too, but even just from the photo`s the Barnel tools do look a top quality properly engineered product and with a max capacity of 2 1/2" must be a cut above the rest, literally, I`ll need to get me hands on a set.

Aldi for me. Cheap and cheerful but work fine. I am a light user mostly using silky and a small chainsaw on light stuff.

[SteveA]

It's a lifetime warranty on the Fiskars stuff so it's loppers for life (so long as they aren't being abused).

cheers, steve

I've got two pairs of florabest loppers, which I got given by a well meaning relative. I was dubious but six months on the first pair are still going. They are cheapo homeowner grade stuff but they are really good. Only thing is I can't see where to buy them I suspect a garden centre.
