This Wilkinson sword lopper is one I have used on conservation projects and also borrowed to use in the garden. A lopper is a very useful tool for pruning and trimming hedges and bushes.
Wilkinson sword blades are very good sharp and last a long time. The blades on this lopper will cur branches 32mm in diameter. The upper blade is a non stick coated blade, this gives a clean cut. A clean cut is good so you do not get an infection in your branches. Although these blades are durable to make these blades last longer best wipe them clean of tree juices after use.
The long steel tubular handles are about 76 cm /30 in they provide leverage and strength. They are good to grip having a cushioned bumper at the end. These Wilkinson sword classic loppers have a 10 year guarantee.

Wilkinson sword is an old company whose founders made guns and swords in the late 18C. They are now the second largest manufacturers of razor blades and shaving implements. If I am buying a saw or a lopper for the garden I trust this brand to make good sharp durable blades. So yes I would recommend this lopper
The RRP is £19.56p but you can buy for £14.69 at http://www.worldofwilkinsonsword.co.uk. Similar prices at on and off line garden centres.
