These Anvil Loppers are perfect for cutting hardier or dead wood. The blade closes against an anvil block on the lower jaw, which helps to reduce strain on the arms during use. These loppers feature new cutting head technology which makes them easier to use for both beginners and professionals, effectively doubling the amount of force applied to the branch when cutting. The non-stick coated blades can cut branches up to 40mm in diameter, and the flat screw connections help to prevent unnecessary damage to the bark. The ergonomic handles have non-slip sleeves for added comfort
