Homebase Telescopic Lopper

If you are after bypass loppers these are a good and unspectacular basic pair but the telescopic handles, using the same technology as the Spear & Jackson County Lopper were slightly less positive. My main gripe is that if you twist one of your hands inadvertently while pruning, the handle lock can quite easily disengage. However the Homebase loppers have coated blades and come with a five year guarantee, you could certainly do worse.
