Loppers For dead wood, you would want to use an anvil lopper. In a good quality hard wearing lopper so you won’t have to replace them so often. Make sure that the tool you choose is the right tool for the job. If using a garden lopper to cut a branch down that really should come down with a saw, you are overworking yourself, the tool and could possibly damage your plants. Be sure that the lopper will be able to make one clean cut when you prune, otherwise you are causing multiple wounds on the shrub and it could attract insects or disease more quickly than just one cut would. The longer the handle of the garden lopper, the more leverage you will have when cutting, for gaining extra reach try using the Wilkinson Sword General Purpose Telescopic Geared Anvil Loppers (1111136W). This is especially important for individuals who do not have height as an asset when it comes to pruning taller bushes. The long handles give more leverage for the cut, making it easier to make a clean cut. For closer and less stout jobs, a shorter handled Wilkinson Sword General Purpose Geared Anvil Loppers (1111134W) could be used. The shorter version will give you a powerful cut on a smaller diameter. Find garden loppers that have a good hand grip that will be non-slip. Accidents are avoidable if you practice safety measures and use good equipment. đ&#x;‘€
