Cannot fault their customer services, item itself is not your heavy duty loppers but for the smaller to medium jobs, these are ideal – -wife loves them as they are not big or heavy.
Was happy with the purchase but even happier with the first class customer service.
I’m disabled and find it hard with normal secateurs, these aren’t too heavy and I can reach roses at the back of the border. They look very well made and arrived the next day. Very impressed with seller and amazo
I needed something lightweight and easy to use. I read the description (and reviews) on several loppers before making my choice. I am pleased with these. They are exactly as advertised. Good quality, sturdy and easy to use. It has made my gardening much easier. As they are quite petite, they are easy to find a place to store them too. Really well made. Happy with my purchase.
I had never heard of this make previously but this has all the hallmarks of a very good lopper, At approximately 18 inches, you can work with this in the tightest of spaces.
Like the weight, not to heavy, but they are sturdy andxvery well made. I also like the colour I won’t misplace them that’s for sure.
Really sharp and good to use. I thought they were longer, but that’s my error. Cut though some thick hedge branches.
Did what I wanted easy to use, probably will not need it again.
Excellent loppers. Bought to chop small branches and hedges. Cuts through easily. Highly recommend.
Exactly as described, only had a few days but seem well built.
Very easy to use. Purchased to replace Fiskar loppers which lasted many years. These seem as sturdy hope they last as long.
It’s difficult to know where to begin in describing the unbelievably high quality of these loppers. This is the second one I’ve purchased because it is so good I’m afraid they might disappear off Amazon. The design is unlike anything I’ve seen before: it moves via an interlocking gear mechanism which makes the action a gillion times easier especially on your shoulders. One side of the blades is so sharp it could split a hair and the anvil side is at least 2cm. This means it snaps relatively thick shrub branches very easily, no stress at all. This is a beautifully made garden instrument which should last ages. Also it is FANTASTIC if you suffer from shoulder arthritis because all the work is being done by the mechanism, not your shoulders.

I have used it couple of times to cut thick branches and it did a good job. This is my first such item, so I cannot compare it with other similar items. I am glad I purchased it as you need the right tool for each job. It made the job of pruning thick branches so easy.
I was sceptical about getting a good tool for this price but am very impressed. Amazing construction and very sharp, cuts through sturdy branches and doesn’t bend and fail like others I have purchased in the past… Thankyou for supplying a good value product that actually works..
Lightweight,strong.effortless to use made short work of taking 4ft off my hedgerow
I would recommend anyone you wouldn’t be disappointed
Obviously they won’t cut through 2inch branches but they work superbly well through inch thick sectio
Really good quality item. Bought as a present and the recipient says they do a great job slicing through branches – he’s very happy with them
Not to bad seem pretty well made but not the sharpes
Is a little on the small side could do with having longer handels but on the whole is a cracking pair of loppers
Wanted some loppers with a shorter handle length as sometimes cannot reach branches with secateurs and our long handles loppers are just too long and heavy for awkward places. These loppers are perfect for the jobs we have to do.
Ideal for a more mature woman ,light ,sturdy and great well balanced size .
I found this tool to be excellent value. It is lightweight and very sharp. Easy to use, easy to clean and does the required job easily. I cut through branches more than 1″ diameter with ease.
Excellent loppers which cut through smaller branches quite easily.
My only irritation is with the packaging because the plastic label was so tightly tied on with plastic ties that I couldn’t easily get anything behind them to snip them off. This resulted in the paintwork getting grazed. Not sure why the label should have been tied on so very securely – it seems obvious that this will happen.
These work very well and can cut up to a reasonable size of branch. They are very lightweight which is good on the arms but they are little small, so don’t expect much reach.
Pleasantly surprised how good these are compared with other loppers I’ve owned
Very pleased, although cutting angle of head can sometimes be awkward.
Brilliant tool! Used to cut established ivy trunks (2 inches wide off tree! )Made it such an easy job! Lightweight and powerful!
Despite being quite small these loppers are very sturdy and cut very well
This is such a good lopper deceptive in its brilliance my son and daughter hacked down a big overgrown bush 12ft high 12 ft round it is a monster there isn’t any roots or anything left they were both impressed my daughter isn’t big or my son but it was very easy
Bought for my son but he seems happy with it. Seems good value.
Great product. Easy to handle and just cut through woody branches. Lightweight and easy to use but strong enough to do tough jobs. Others I have used no where near as good
These are great to use and I have slim wrists, so pleased.
Very easy to use and good at cutting higher up on shrubs
These are the best I’ve come across. Strongly recommended to anyone who gardens.
great ,,,small but powerful ,,,,im a disabled older lady but i used them with no problems at all, you wont regret buying these.
Did the job of pruning my hedge with thick branches very well. As a small woman didn’t want anything heavy. Ideal !
These are really strong and light. The ratchet system means thicker branches can be cut without the blades spreading and with ease.
I’ve had these for a year or two and these loppers are quite simply amazing, they will go through branches well over an inch across with ease and I’ve even used them recently indoors to cut away some skirting board in an awkward corner of the room!
The handle is a little shorter than I initially expected but to be honest it hasn’t stopped it being able to handle anything I throw at it yet.
easy to use with a bit extra power to the elbow
I like the way they lop so easily and are lightweight.
Sharp and easy to use if you are a woman and not strong.
Tested this soon as it arrived. A really excellent tool, cuts branches with ease. Would definately recommend.
Great, easy to use. Strong Jaws.
Lightweight, ideal for my dad to use at 86 yrs old. He thinks they’re great..
Great action, seem to cut with ease through strong branches.
Does what it is supposed to. Strong, easy to use and delivery quick. Very happy
It’s not a 100 pair of loppers
But good quality at the price.
When these arrived I was a little disappointed – they seemed quite expensive compared to other makes for their size. However, I have had them a while now and have ben really impressed. They are very useful for jobs where long handles are awkward to use and more power is needed than with secateurs. The cutters are very sharp and the ratchet system gives a lot of cutting power-they will cut through most things very easily. I would recommend these and buy again.
It easily cut branches up to 1/2ins. Very happy with the lopper so far, used it 5 times.
I’m really pleased with this purchase they are really easy to use, light and cut through branches so easily
They are NOT alloy handles as stated by the makers lable, only mild steel, (ferrous) but they seem to cut ok. Hope they last better than my Argos ones 😉
These were a little smaller that I’d expected, but still do a decent job. The gear drive makes up for long handles and means you can get them into awkward spaces that longer handles won’t fit. I only gave 4 stars for sturdiness because I’d be reluctant to tackle thick branches – although what I have tried is to cut in the same place using several different angles and that seems to help.
I can’t manage heavy loppers now for any reasonable time. But these GRNTEK Anvil Pruning Loppers 470 mm work well for me. So many small loppers are heavily over-geared and thus resist any kind of snipping approach as they are consequently slow to use – then there are those with a hook or knob at the end of the blade to retain the item being cut – making it much more difficult to get the blades around the branch! These just do it without these over-designed features. Easy to carry and lift up to cut, easy to use.
Very basic but very good.Only have a small garden and not much to cut but these were cheap and very effective and just perfect for what i need. Thank you..
Arrived very promptly and very good leverage for small handles. Worth noting the se loppers are not telescopic but they cut surprisingly well considering.
I researched the many well known brands and found a wide choice suitable for my needs. However I came across these and thought I’d take a risk and see if the reviews were true.
I was not disappointed.
These are sturdy but lightweight and tackled the tangled web of ivy clinging to my fence with ease.
I’m really pleased I changed brands and can confirm that this piece of German engineering is well worth buying.
Very good loppers, cut through branches like its nothing. Short handles so not appropriate for reaching far, but for general branches they are excellent.
My task was To lower a 20-year-old 3 metre tall hedge of Rose, Kerrier, Firethorn, and Forsythia down to one metre.
I have used telescopic loppers which eventually worked loose and with anvils that broke under the strain.
I have used secateurs that became loose and blunt under the strain.
I have used hedge shears , manual and electric, and made in UK that became unfit for purpose.
However, these German-made short Loppers have proved excellent and superb value for money.
Highly commended!
In recent months I’ve tried tackling this with nothing but a cheap set of secateurs. This was going nowhere, so I popped on Amazon I had a look at what I could get. I ended up getting these loppers, which arrived quickly.
They appeared a bit lightweight, I begin to doubt my purchase, but decided I give them a whirl, and I have to say, they’ve been magnificent. They’ve made short work of branches around an inch or so thick with the minimal of strength needed, and despite being an anvil lopper, the cut is pretty smooth.
I cut through living and dead branches like Anakin Skywalker shredding younglings in “Revenge of the Sith”, but with less anger flowing through me, and I kept my legs when I was done.
These are a great set of loppers and should find a place in your garden tools set.
Used these to prune cherry tree. So lightweight and very smooth cutting. They feel sturdy and are easy to hold. Very pleased with these as cheaper than some I’ve had but I think they’re one of the best pairs I’ve had. They aren’t very long so not ideal for higher cutting but just right for pruning thicker rose stems and bush’s etc your secateurs can’t handle.
I’ve had these shears for more than a month now and have used them frequently. I’ve got a very neglected privet hedge which has some thick branches and I was using a pruning saw to cut through them. The saw involved a lot of effort and time and I couldn’t reach all the branches. Getting this to do the job has saved me a lot of time and effort, I’m able to get to spots previously impossible to reach via pruning saw. It can easily slice through anything up to an inch or 2cm in diameter, anything slightly thicker requires a little more effort but it’s possible to achieve a clean cut. It feels solid and is lighter than I was expecting. I’m really glad I got this as I spend less time pruning giving me more time to relax and enjoy the warm weather we’re having at the moment. I would recommend this item. PS if you don’t want to scratch the handle when removing the plastic clips securing the cardboard label, turn the label over so it protects the metal handle and you can cut the plastic clips without any contact with the handle.
These shears are light and easy to use. They give a good clean cut even to fairly thick branches.
They are not long-reach shears and for me that means a four-star rating rather than five.
Absolutely marvellous. I call these my ‘butter loppers’ as they snip through branches so effortlessly.
They are quite short but this does mean they fit easily into my tool bucket so very easy to add to the general kit.
Never prune bushes before but our front garden was getting really out of hand. Perfect tool, easy to use. The job was done in 5 minutes.
Arrived promptly and well packaged. I havent used them as yet as I really should have ordered telescopic loppers so that was my mistake but I believe they will be very handy in any event.
One of the best pruning tools I have brought. They are strong to cut with and will easily go through the larger branches where others just bend or the teeth slip. These have a good plate for the blade to go against and it’s not a small piece so cuts better with no blade slippage or twist. Only negative is I thought they would be bigger but with this it makes it ideal for all users. Hoping to find an extendable version of these soon.
This is my first foray into anvil-type loppers, and they do have a different feel to the bypass type. They appear to be robustly made and are attractively coloured, even if they do look a bit like an aussie cricketer!
The gearing action is smooth in use, and it has made clean and easy cuts in overgrown shrubbery and small trees. It claims to handle up to 28mm stems, and it sliced through inch-thick branches with alacrity. In fact, as first impressions go, these may be the best loppers that I have used to date. The blade is sharp and cuts have been clean and highly satisfying.
The weight is light – I did actually wonder if the product had been included in the box when it was delivered – but the light weight does not appear to have been realised through a lack of structural strength. My impression is, that these are built to last.
I did have concerns that at 47cms these might be too short to be truly useful. While an extra 10cms or so would be useful, and would make them more functional with the extra reach, I am well satisfied with the quality of these loppers and will be considering Gruntek quite seriously when I am looking to buy garden tools in future. I am pleased with my purchase.
Love it, great little tool just wish i could extend the handed so i could reach higher branches ,but besides that it is a brilliant tool……thanks
This is a great lopper, so easy to use use, very little effort, great price and quality in comparison to the ones in big DIY stores
Bought as a gift for my dad, but I have also used and am very impressed with these loppers, as is he. Very light-weight but with a strong, powerful ‘bite’. Good grip on the handles too. Would definitely buy again. Good value.
I bought it 2 years ago and I use it this season a lot. It’s well made and it does a good job! I cut quite thick of branch and no problem. Great!
Find they need quite a lot of force and dont seem very sharp
Really good for choppong tree branches, only used them once so far but they cut through the quite thick branches easily. The loppers feel like a quality product and come across as being well made. I would certainly buy them again if needed.
The weather is getting warmer and everything in the garden is coming back to life. Moaned to my neighbor about gardening and he suggested cutting the branches and twigs before the leaves grow back. My old prune shear broke off after being excessively used last year. My telescope lopper was useless at all and was binned. I need something for small twigs and another thing with longer handles for branches up higher. This set of gardening tools ticks my needs. I have used them twice so far. They are sturdy and sharp to cut branches and twigs. I am sure it will help me to ease my pain when I trim the plants. Hopefully they will last a couple of years.
I don’t usually right reviews but these Anvil loppers by Grntek are really good.
They are clearly built to last and I expect to get years of good service out of them.
Effortless to use and whilst they have a reassuring heft, certainly light enough for that not to become an issue.
I was worried buying a slightly cheaper brand but these are quality and feel like they should last an age.
I bought these mostly to prune back an apple tree since and they were definately up to the job.
The grips are nicely rough so there’s no slippage and they cut through the branches easily, although to be fair the largest was probably only just over an inch thick.
I think if you buy these with realistic expectations you’ll be very pleased with them…. I am.
Came well packaged. Ideal for small hardy shrubs and sturdy enough to cope with my few trees which are over hanging. Happy custome
replace a very old pair which are over 10 years old and somewhat rusty.
They have an overall length of 45 cm and feel well balanced in the hands, the silicon
handles giving an easy grip.
I like the adjustable anvil which can be adjusted as and when required. I have only
used them on old Buddleia and dead cherry tree branches so far, but am very pleased
with the results.
As a septuagenarian with limited strength I found them easy to use.
My wife likes to prune, leaving the less entertaining gardening chores to me. This tool was deliberately chosen for her, and is perfect. It is of a decent quality, sufficiently large (but not too much, without those pesky telescopic handles getting in the way). It is very easy to use, even for hands that do not necessarily have the strength of a processional arms wrestler, pretty with nice finish, and is easy to care for. What is not to like?
Having always used larger loppers, I was excited to try out this pair (Overall Length: 470 mm Blade: 60 mm). I have to say, after using these I will never go back to my bigger ones. These are so much more convenient and easier to use. They fit in the hands comfortably and are lightweight enough to lift above your head and still maintain control for hedge trimming or pruning, whatever you’re doing.
Despite their small size, the jaws open very wide so they can still tackle thick branches and shrubs. They can slice through various vegetation fairly effortlessly thanks to the particularly sharp upper blade which performs an efficient and clean cut. The handles are designed with a non-slip material to provide a secure, steady grip even when you’re using these for a prolonged period.
Overall these are a great pair of loppers. They are highly functional, practical, good value and therefore a great buy. GRNTEK are a fantastic brand for gardening tools, definitely check out there other products if you’re a keen gardener.
I’ve typically in the past used longer loppers (at least 60cm length), so this is the first shorter pair I’ve ever tried, and I must say I’m impressed for a number of reasons.
I was initially unsure of the short length, but for most of my pruning jobs, the shorter length is in fact an advantage, making the loppers light and very easy to work with. They are extremely sharp and can cut through any sticks and branches with very little effort due I reckon to the excellent gearing mechanism built in. The grip handles are also very comfortable and feel secure in your hand when using. I really can’t fault these little pruners, they’ve dealt with all my pruning needs admirably and they feel very strong, and give me confidence that I’ll have many years of good service from them.
