Kew Gardens Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Loppers

The Kew Gardens Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Loppers are heavy-duty pruning tools designed for cutting tough dead wood in hard to reach areas. Developed through collaboration between Spear & Jackson and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, these loppers combine horticultural expertise with traditional British tool-making craftsmanship to deliver professional performance for garden maintenance.

The telescopic handles extend from 710mm to 1030mm, providing excellent reach for overhead branches and dense shrubs without requiring ladders or stretching. The ratchet anvil mechanism operates with an easy short-step cutting action, making light work of harder dead wood by allowing the user to cut in stages rather than a single motion. This reduces the physical effort required when tackling thicker branches and minimises hand fatigue during extended pruning sessions.

Built for durability and performance, these loppers feature high carbon steel blades with PTFE coating for rust resistance and smoother cutting action. The light but strong tubular aluminium handles incorporate forged aluminium end caps and comfortable soft-feel grips for secure handling. A twist and lock mechanism ensures the telescopic handles remain firmly extended during use, whilst a locking catch provides safe storage when not in operation.
