TABOR TOOLS GG12E Professional Anvil Lopper, Chops Thick Branches With Ease, Tree Trimmer with ⌀ 5cm Cutting Capacity, Lopping Shears with Extra Leverage Handles (GG12E Compound Action Anvil)

Strong and sharp for cutting smallish branches. Heavier than my old Wilkinson sword ones

Not the lightest I have used but for the price these are a very good product , being a professional gardener for past 20yrs I have tried many and these are value for money and so far very sturdy.

Very sharp, cutting very well. Would have been nice a little bit longer,but great for the money.

I am a 68 weak debilertated female with severe ME/CFS 30 years with muscle pain everywhere. Very little strength in hands and arms etc yet even I managed with this amazing tool to cut down so many thick branches with small repeated cuts done over and over again until I got the blasted branch to give way!! For a strong male this tool will be a doddle but even weak me managed remarkably well. You just have to give repeated cuts in the same place and pause and rest your arms then continue. It is strong and sturdy and I feel safe using it. It is solid, well made and robust. I also bought small seceteaures from the same company. That too is excellent. This tool is firm and very comfortable to hold and manoeuvre. For easier thinner branches it is a super easy one clean snap ! Highly recommend and great value for money. It is so robust solid and not heavy heavy. People like me just need to do things slowly and carefully and keep pausing between pruning each branch. This tool has made the impossible possible so I am very grateful to the company.

Great job. Very sharp and easy to use

Much better than other loppers I have bought.

Really good and strong loppers, have been used a lot last summer, worth the price

Good loppers, but does not really cut 5cm branches with ease any more than other decent loppers of these dimensions that I have used. How thick will depend very much on the type of wood and its condition/age. I would say 3cm with ease, and 4cm+ with some effort if the wood is fairly hard.On the plus side it looks and feels solidly made, does a good job, and I expect it to last longer than my last ones, which deformed under the strain of cutting larger branches, eventually becoming unuseable. Another plus point is they are constructed with bolts and not cheaply with rivets, so it would theoretically be easy to replace the parts.Four-and-a-half stars would be my opinion of these, I do like them.
