Ratchet Action CuttingSimply open the handles to activate the ratchet, then close the handle below the cutting blade until the audible click, open again until the next click and repeat the process. |
SK5 Carbon Steel BladesThe PTFE coated SK5 carbon steel cutting blade gives lasting sharpness, reduces friction during cutting and provides resistance to rust. The anvil blade is made from a softer metal to avoid damage to the cutting blade and is serrated to stop the branch twisting during the cut. |
Tubular Aluminium HandlesOur simple to operate ‘twist & lock’ telescopic handles extend from 15.75" (400mm) to 31.5" (800mm) for additional reach when required and are made from tubular aluminium to remain as light as possible without compromising on strength.

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.
Not readily seeing a replacement blade for sale I contacted that manufacturer, Spear & Jackson, via the contact form on their website. They were SUPER helpful and mailed me a replacement blade.
NOTE: If you have to replace your blade, here is the trick. Secure the new blade into position with the pass-through bolt FIRST. Then grab a set of long nose pliers and pull the spring into position over the hole for securing it and push the smaller pass-through bolt through.
But they are relatively expensive. So I bought 3 footers intending to cut them into various sizes.
Epic failures. Hacksaw? My arm quickly got sore. Reciprocating saw? Bounced at me regardless of blade type. Bypass pruner? Impossible. Next up? Circular saw. But I’d have to get the work table out and I am lazy.
So I figured an anvil pruner. I researched and found this one. I immediately grabbed a 3 foot pizzle and went at it. I was literally giddy at how effective was. The ratchet action made all the difference. And my dogs are happier. They get their treats instead of watching me walk away defeated.
I have used many pruners and loopers over my increasing decades. This tool is the best I have ever used. This now is a “I have to get this for their wedding” tool.
It appears to be precision made: perfectly aligned, really sharp blade, every rivet/weld symmetrically spaced and flawless. And the handles are adjustable and securely lock into place unlike so many others I’ve used.
Maybe it’s the equivalent of Lodge and Le Creuset cast iron pots and pans, something to pass down for the next generation. Or not: I may take it with me.
