Could someone reccomend a decent anvil lopper?
I bought a 'Verve' lopper and the anvil doesn't cover the blade properly and leaves the item hanging by a strip of bark, those of you with a decent tool please look at the handle and give mr a name! Much work to be done. (Leylandii)


Warning: I've only just bought this and tried it on a hardish shrup, about 1
cm thick and it worked well:

The fancy 'flaps' that frre/lock the handles might be a weak point and, with
just a quick look, I can't see any way of repairing/modding them if they do
fail.
BTW, the page says "21" - 29" " but more like 33" fully extended. Oh, and
they're rather pretty!
