Kent & Stowe Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Loppers - 70100472

No. Anvil loppers are designed for wood. Using them on delicate green stems or flowers can cause crushing and damage to the plant tissue.

The maximum recommended cutting diameter is 45mm. Attempting to cut anything larger may damage the mechanism or snap the blades.

Twist the locking collars or press the spring-loaded locking pins to slide the handles to your desired length and lock them into one of the six positions.

The anvil design allows the blade to bite into a flat base, which is ideal for removing dead wood and providing the heavy pressure needed for harder, drier branches.

Yes, these loppers come with a 5-year manufacturer guarantee covering material and manufacturing defects.

While the mechanism is generally low-maintenance, applying a drop of light machine oil to the pivot point once per season will ensure smooth operation.

Check that the locking pins are fully seated in the desired adjustment hole and that the collar is tightened securely.

The blade likely needs cleaning; use a degreaser to remove sticky sap residue and ensure the anvil is free of debris.

The blade may have become dull. Use a sharpening stone to hone the blade edge and ensure the anvil is not chipped.
