Don’t for one minute believe that the new telescopic loppers you’ll see on the Darlac stand (19A58) are like any other. They have unique features that should give them distinct market appeal.

The loppers employ a brand new double compound action that greatly increases its cutting power, making pruning easier. The bypass cantilever allows for an ultra-clean cut.

The telescopic handles extend to 76cm, more than enough for good leverage but less unwieldy for some users than Darlac’s full-length models.

The high-strength aluminium handles ensure the loppers weigh in at little more than a kilo, making them easy to handle.

They are supplied in blister packs with euro slots for display on a Darlac mix-and-match stand or a retailer’s own unit.

Also new from Darlac is the Expert Topiary Shear, made from nylon and fibreglass with replaceable razor-sharp blades, ideal for jobs like topiary and deadheading.
