About this item

  • CHOPS THROUGH ⌀ 2” BRANCHES effortlessly. This 30” lopper will allow for fast removal of dry and woody growth and is the ideal tool for preparatory cuts and cut-to-length work. The lopper is designed and built for professional-grade applications and makes cutting dramatically easy through extra leverage and compound action power!
  • SHARP BLADE WITH STRONG ANVIL. Anvil pruners have one straight blade that cuts as it closes onto a flat edge or ‘anvil’ - think about it like a knife on a chopping board. This makes an anvil pruner an excellent tool for trimming back live wood before making a final, clean cut with bypass scissors. Suitable for harder and dryer wood. Replacement cutting blades available.
  • COMFORT GRIP AND EXTRA LEVERAGE. This 30” model will allow you to work with some extra leverage and to efficiently navigate around higher limbs. It locks on various lengths in between. The ergonomic handles are designed for optimal grip and the anti-shock rubberized grips on the handles provide extra comfort.
  • COMPOUND ACTION SYSTEM: The compound lever system with multiple pivot points and moving parts increases the force applied to the blades. The compound action blade has multiple moving parts which multiply the force applied to the blades 3 times!
  • ORDER WITH CONFIDENCE. We at TABOR TOOLS stand behind our products. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for support, questions about our products, or spare parts you might need.

TABOR TOOLS GG12A Compound Action Anvil loppers

When pruning larger, tougher branches, a confident gardener needs a tool fit for the task. Treat yourself to one of the most powerful loppers on the market today. This tool offers superior performance rooted in decades of gardening expertise.

Lopper blade

Excellent tool for both green and hard/dry wood

This tool was designed with comfort and functionality in mind, featuring ergonomically contoured grips, innovative mechanisms, and coated blades for a sharper, longer-lasting cut.

Because of their design, anvil loppers can often cut thicker branches than bypass. Anvil lopper has one straight blade that cuts as it closes onto a flat edge or ‘anvil’ (think about it like a knife on a chopping board). This makes an anvil lopper an excellent tool for trimming back live wood before making a final, clean cut with bypass loppers.

  • GG12A Anvil Loppers are meant for pruning both hard green and dry/woody growth
  • Cuts branches up to a diameter of 2”
  • Suitable for cut-to-length work
  • Suitable for preparatory cuts before making a final, clean cut with bypass loppers.

Compound Action System

The compound lever system with multiple pivot points and moving parts increases the force applied to the blades.

The compound action blade has multiple moving parts which multiply the force applied to the blades 3 times!

30" Handles with Comfort Grip

The comfortable, ergonomic grips ensure a balanced weight across the tool.

Lopper length affects the amount of leverage you have; these longer loppers give you more leverage, making it easier to cut through thicker branches.

Blade with Anvil

The precision-ground, non-stick upper blade and the superb cutting geometry permit optimum force transmission.

Suitable for harder and dry wood

A clean, smooth cut

The anvil mechanism works like this: the upper blade is narrower and sharper. The wide anvil distributes pressure and supports the branch to avoid damaging or crushing the bark. A curved head or swiveling anvil provides an easier cutting action close to the joint.

  • Dynamic compound action mechanism
  • Makes clean cuts with less resistance
  • Perfect for cutting tougher, larger, and harder branches

Texas Mesquite???? Pfft...Tabor-ize them!
5 Stars
Texas Mesquite???? Pfft...Tabor-ize them!
First, a little background on my prior/previous purchases. In the last 15 years, I've been through just about every big box store brand loppers both bypass and anvil. Every bypass lopper I've owed has ended up with the same issue; try and cut something too thick and they turn just a little sideways and inevitably bend just enough to cause a gap between the blades rendering them useless. Anvil loppers in my opinion are WAY better in this regard as long as you don't mind the occasional crushed vs cleanly sliced limbs. They offer more power and generally seem to handle tough wood like Mesquite, Anaqua/Sandpaper Trees and Texas Ebony (rock-like) better. Even these however have had a serious issue with the head being able to handle more than the flimsy handles can take and I either break the handles or just give up and chainsaw the limb. Enter the Tabor Tool GG12.My 80+ yr old dad told me a while back when he came over to visit and gazed upon my graveyard of broken, bent or worn out loppers, "Son, you should have done it right the first time and bought you some Tabor tool loppers" Well, I'm a firm believer that with age comes wisdom. I was a little hesitant to spend the extra funds on these but looking over my death pit of dead loppers and figuring how much money I've spent over the years, I figured, maybe ole' dad has a point. So I plunged here on Amazon (because no local store sells them) and got them about a week ago. Well, this morning I got up and one of my Mesquite trees on my property had split. I thought, here's a really good chance to put the Tabor loppers to the test. If you're from Texas and you've ever dealt with Mesquite, you know, they can make a Stihl chainsaw cry. When I brought out my brand new loppers, my neighbor was like, "What are you gonna do with those silly things, get and estimate?" I just smirked and went to work. 30 minutes later, I had destroyed everything but the biggest parts of the mesquite trunk and it was (dare I say it) easy with these loppers. I am beyond impressed at not just how easy these things cut through 2-3 in mesquite branches but also how cleanly for an anvil cutter. Not only is the head strong and sharp and cuts like a hot knife through butter but it has the handles to match; something I've never found in an anvil cutter before. Before it was all said and done, the neighbor said, "OK, what the heck are those?" He looked and said, I'll be getting me a pair. Well done Tabor..Gonna have to replace more of my yard tools with your stuff.

Reviewed in Canada on November 26, 2023
I bought this lopper to trim the height of our Ontario White Cedars. From the trunks, our cedars extend 2 feet onto our neighbor's property. This Tabor lopper was long enough that I could trim all the way to the neighbor's side without having to take a single step onto their property! I was also amazed at the power of the blade mechanism. I have never owned a lopper that could cut faster than a chainsaw, but this cut through all of the cedars including the ones with very thick trunks.
