TABOR TOOLS GG22A Extendable Anvil Lopper with Compound Action, 27-40 Inch Telescopic Tree Trimmer

Works just like described. You need a bit of strength for 1.5-inch branch, but it did cut it. And ordering from Tabor Tools direct is less expensive than ordering from Amazon.

Lopper Deluxe

Very well-designed, heavy duty lopper that extends very nicely. Replaces an old Fiscars that just ran out of steam.
