Recommendations for telescopic loppers please

Clem Atis

Just moved house.  Huge rambling rose has rambled all the way up, under and out above the guttering on the top floor.... needs careful pruning before it brings the gutter down....any recommendations for a telescopic lopper from the huge number that appear to be available?

You wont go wrong with wolf garten bypass loppers

Any other recommendations? Have looked at fiskars and darlac. Are they any good?

Mine are a Daveon brand. Heavy duty ratchet  loppers. I have found them very easy to use as I havn't the same strength as I used to have

We have some Jardin de France ratchet extending loppers which are brilliant. I haven't the strength to use ordinary loppers on thicker branches but these make it really easy.

Keep your eye on the two German supermarkets for quality and economy.  Ours came from there.

My Wolf Garten are fantastic, like a knife through butter. Can't say I've ever found Lidl garden tools to be good quality personally.

Darlac are very good. I have their telescopic loppers and have used them non-stop on various shrubs and trees this year. Most of their tools are excellent. My little loppers are Fiskars, also excellent.
