Wolf-Garten RS900T Anvil Lopper

Anvil loppers feature a single sharp blade that closes against a flat surface, similar to a knife on a cutting board. This design is specifically optimized for cutting through hard, dry, or dead wood, as it provides more crushing force than bypass shears, which are better suited for living, green stems.

The telescoping handles are designed to extend your reach significantly, allowing you to prune tall shrubs or tree branches without needing to climb a ladder. This adjustable length helps you maintain better leverage and control, even when working at height.

The RS900T is built with lightweight aluminum to keep the overall weight down, which helps reduce arm fatigue. Additionally, the integrated shock-absorbing buffers cushion the impact when you finish a cut, protecting your joints from jarring vibrations.

Yes, the non-stick coating is highly effective at reducing friction as the blade passes through wood. It also prevents sap and debris from building up on the blade, which keeps the cutting action smooth and makes the tool much easier to clean after use.

While you can use them on green wood, the anvil design is primarily engineered for dead or woody material. For fresh, living growth, bypass loppers are generally preferred because they provide a cleaner, scissor-like cut that heals faster, whereas anvil loppers may slightly crush the stem.
