## Description

These loppers feature a ratchet action which provides a mechanical advantage by advancing the spring loaded cutting blade towards the anvil blade in short steps to complete the cut with a minimum of effort. Part of the Razorsharp range, our quality cutting range of secateurs, loppers and shears.

Review: Heavy duty tool. Very well made - We use for trimming tree and shrub branches. I easily cut 2 inch hardwood limbs with this tool. To extend the handle, twist the knob at the end of the handle and slide to desired length, then turn the knob back to original position. Works well. It is a ratchet system with plenty of leverage for large limbs. Once you start closing the jaw by closing the handles, each open and close of the handle advances to the next ratchet notch. To fully open the jaws again, the handles must be opened WIDELY to release the ratchet. This might be a bit awkward if working in tight quarters. Excellent quality all around
Review: Absolutely the best cutter you'll ever buy! - I've purchased many of these over the years and still love them!! I'm always giving them to friends and family! It takes a little getting used to because you don't just open them and cut, you open and rachet it down to the branch but well worth it! I've honestly cut branches that were way too large for this, but we get in a hurry and don't want to go get the chainsaw! lol And I have busted one of these... only one.... and I still ran back to buy another! This cuts like butter and everyone that works with me wants one! I'm a sexton in a cemetery and we cut branches and brush all the time. And I have never had a blade go dull! Never had to sharpen it either! It locks when you're not using it and the weight is comfortable and durable!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the lengths of these loppers at their unextended and fully extended lengths?  I'm surprised this info. is not given.**
A: The arm unextended is 18" long. Extended the arm is 31 and 1/2" inches The distance from the near end of the handle to the centrer of the cutting edge is 6 and 1/2 inchesLooking at the previous answers, They must have a different tool from mine or I can't read a tape meaure.The arms on my tool are aluminum. I tried to cut a 1 and 1/2 ince piece of cherry with it that ws extremely hard.The arms were extended and were bent in the process. I used a lot of force snd probably should have realized thatIt was not going to cut it. I have used it on the same size green wood and it did fine.

**Q: It does not say how thick a branch can it cut?**
A: The jaws open approximately 2", so theoretically a 2' branch can be cut. However, this measurement is at the absolute end of the 'vee' opening. In practice the limb will be placed somewhat closer to the closed end of the 'vee'. Therefore the cut itself will be somewhat less than 2'. I haven't measured branches that I have actually cut, but I estimate that some were 1 1'2' or more in diameter. If you can find purchase on the limb, these loppers will cut it. They are great!

**Q: where is this product manufactured?**
A: It should be in the paperwork included when you received the looper.

**Q: On smaller branches, say 1", how many cranks (not sure the correct term) does it take for both jaws to come in contatct with the branch? I am wonderin**
A: For each cut, it takes 6-8 open/closes of handles to engage the cutting edge on the branch. .  THe bigger the branch the fewer motions it takes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool if you need to cut thicker branches
*by M***L on March 5, 2024*

I was really surprised at how well these cut branches. When I unpacked them I immediately went out in the yard to test them out. I kept cutting increasingly thicker branches and saplings and nothing would stop them. Basically, if it's wood and it fits in the jaws, they will cut it. These have replaced my chain saw for cleaning up in the woods bordering my yard. One important thing to note is that since they are ratcheting loppers, they function a little differently than traditional loppers. Opening the handles fully releases the jaws to their full open position and then it takes four cranks of the handle to cut through a branch. Open the handles and the blade pops open, four cranks to close it back to the anvil. There's no other way to operate them, so they're not very useful for small branches where you don't need the power of the ratchet action. If you don't need to cut thicker branches, the three cranks to close down to cut a small branch will be frustrating. I bought a pair of small 15" loppers from the local orange store to complement these and use on the little stuff. Bypass loppers will serve many people better than these, but if you need the cutting force, these are awesome. Another great feature is the side plates that enclose the ratchet mechanism. I've used other loppers with an exposed compound gear action that often got hung up in the branches, especially when trying to chop branches to condense a pile of brush. With the mostly smooth outside surface of these loppers that hasn't been an issue. The extension handles allow you to reach higher branches, but again be aware that the handles must be fully opened to operate the ratchet, so it can be a stretch if you're trying to reach something very high. Fortunately the handle locks were easy to use and held securely without any issues. One more tip - since these are anvil loppers, the handle with the anvil remains stationary against the branch and the handle with the cutting blade moves toward it. This is different from bypass loppers where you squeeze both handles and both jaws cut through the branch to meet in the middle. When I adjusted the placement and the force on the handles to account for this difference in motion it made using them much easier. Overall, if you need the power these are hard to beat. If you're trimming a bunch of smaller branches a set of bypass loppers will work better.
