FELCO211-60 60cm Alumnium Loppers, Red

Excellent quality, Really enjoy using it.

Very high quality product, you get what you pay for, £100 for a tool to cut branches seems expensive but the time you save everyday makes it worth it. Very satisfying to cut through branches like a hot knife through butter.

So, I am a professional commercial gardener and I needed a compact set of loppers to carry in my toolbag. This is a solid and well made tool, fit for daily use and good for several years at least. All the parts are replaceable. The tool is rated at 40mm capacity or thereabouts although this will only be for softer material. The blade cuts cleanly on hard or fibrous wood, a common failing with most domestic tools. The short handles means a fair amount of force will be required but this is probably a good thing as the hinge bolt is the first component to wear and the same mechanism is also used on the 60cm set.

The quality of these longer handled pruners is first class in every respect. The handles are solid aluminium, which gives a combination of light weight and strength. The cutters are sharp steel and replaceable. I have damaged shoulders, so these longer handled pruners are perfect for me.

These are really excellent loppers. An ideal filler between hand secateurs and large loppers for bigger branches. I can't recommend them enough.

Superb loppers, well balanced and sharp. Easy to maintain and keep sharp. A bit pricey, but well worth paying for quality!

Lightweight and a smaller size for getting in between branches and stems, so they're ideal for pruning roses and shrubs that have become congested. Great quality and nice and sharp for cleaner cuts.

Firstly, I am a great fan of Felco.I own 2 number 7 and one number 13. I bought these to prune a magnolia for one of my clients. They are supposed to cut 1.4ins. They, or rather I struggled to cut 3/4 inches. To be honest, my number 13 was better up to the task.However, I will keep the loppers for relatively small but precise pruning.
