When your pruning jobs get serious, it’s time to bring in the big guns. The Burgon & Ball RHS Telescopic Handled Ratchet Lopper is built for power, precision, and ease—especially when you’re dealing with thicker, tougher branches that standard loppers simply can't handle.

Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this is one of the most heavy-duty loppers in the Burgon & Ball range, designed with a five-stage ratchet mechanism that increases your cutting power by up to 100%. That means you can effortlessly slice through branches up to 4cm in diameter—without the strain or the need for a saw.

The blades are made from high carbon steel—with one blade featuring a non-stick coating and the other a chrome-plated finish—ensuring excellent cutting performance and long-lasting sharpness. These blades are engineered to stay sharper for longer, even after repeated use on hard, woody material.

The telescopic aluminium handles extend from 72cm to 104cm, giving you extra reach for overhead or awkward branches. A twist-lock mechanism makes adjusting the length smooth and secure, while the thermoplastic rubber grips keep things comfortable and stable, even during long sessions or while working at height.

Despite its heavy-duty performance, this ratchet lopper is relatively light at 1.71kg, thanks to the aluminium shaft construction—reducing fatigue while increasing efficiency. As with all RHS-endorsed Burgon & Ball cutting tools, this lopper comes with a 10-year guarantee, so you can invest with confidence.

Perfect for tree pruning, reshaping mature shrubs, and clearing out woody overgrowth, this is a professional-grade tool for gardeners who want clean cuts with less effort.
