    Hi all. Been a while since I posted but I have been busy with moving and getting control of our large garden of about 3/4 of an acre . Currently erecting new feather edge fencing erecting the greenhouse and building raised beds.

    I have a wee question if I may.... I need a really long reach lopper. The longer the better. Also a reccomendation on which is a really good make. One with a saw would be handy but not essential. I like to buy quality tools rather than budget stuff which never seems to last long. Suggestions welcome !

    Hope you are all well !!

    Charlie.

        I have Wolf Garten loppers which have served me well for over 5 years. You buy their handles separately (I have this one), so you can tailor them exactly as you want it, and the real beauty is the fact that you can just change the tool heads over in seconds.

        I also have the hoe, window washer mitt and squeegee for mine - in fact, I used the washer mitt just this weekend to clean the greenhouse inside and out.

        Not cheap, but very versatile and very well made.
