The Spear and Jackson Razorsharp Advance Anvil Loppers are designed for avid gardeners and landscape maintenance enthusiasts who need a heavy-duty tool for clearing thick, woody growth. Offering a 20% mechanical advantage, these loppers excel at making difficult pruning tasks manageable; however, because they utilize an anvil design, they are best suited for dead wood rather than precise cuts on live, delicate stems.

These loppers are rated to cut through branches up to 45mm in diameter.
Anvil loppers are generally better for deadwood. For roses and soft living stems, bypass loppers are usually preferred to avoid crushing the branch.
The total length of the tool, including handles and head, is 660mm.
No, the anvil provides the base for the cut. You should only sharpen the cutting blade while ensuring the anvil remains smooth and free of burrs.
The grips are permanently bonded to the handles; if they become damaged, they are not intended for individual replacement.
The blade may be dull or sap has built up; clean the blade with a solvent and sharpen the edge if necessary.
Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the central pivot nut, ensuring it remains tight enough to hold the blades together but loose enough for smooth movement.
These loppers require no complex assembly and are ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain peak performance, wipe the blade and anvil clean with an oily rag after each use to remove sap and debris. Periodically check the tension of the center pivot bolt; if the handles feel too loose or the blade starts to bind, tighten the bolt slightly to ensure a snug fit. Store the tool in a dry shed or garage, away from moisture, to preserve the protective PTFE coating. Avoid using the loppers to cut wire or metal, as this will cause permanent damage to the precision-ground blade.
