Incredible delimber pruning shears : light, powerful and robust. Their unique pulley system, combined with Y-shaped handles, makes it easy to cut branches and roots up to 40mm in diameter (manufacturer's data) with minimal effort. Although the shape of the anvil is designed to optimally cut 40mm branches. The hardened steel blade is coated with Teflon to reduce friction during cutting and protect the blade from rust.
The result is a perfect, easy and clean cut.
The aluminium handles form a Y-shape with the extension. One is fixed, the other pivots up to 110° and transfers the multiplied force to the blade via a pivot point that moves back and forth in the extension.
I particularly like this extension because it allows me to get to the heart of a branch and cut without being hindered by the handles (which is the case with most European loppers...).
What's more, the blade can be manually rotated by 90° around its axis to select the optimum cutting angle. The anvil has a hook for pulling branches from a distance or for hanging the tool.
I also appreciate being able to cut branches on the ground without having to bend down ! Professionals do enough kneeling in a day... This greatly reduces back and knee fatigue.
