+ Stable and solid aluminum version
+ Serrated anvil with matching justice milled blade groove, prevents slipping out of the branches
+ Easy and secure teleskopierbar
+ Wonderful range and still handle well
+ 1.5 kg I find appropriate now and not necessarily as difficult;)
+ Prima leverage (although not quite as good as in the colon, but a significant relief is given)
+ Very sharp blade; also cuts without hesitation the branches of Sal-willow (pussy willow) after flowering
+ No problem with 40-45mm branches (but do not have any real hardwoods cut with this diameter)
+ No problem with thinner branches while cutting in 45 ° angle
As with any garden / loppers should make sure that you can not tilt the scissors when cutting to avoid that the cut between the anvil / blade and blade clamps. This seems to me especially for this model Siena important because somewhere of course is also the price that somehow it is just that I respect myself. A long shelf life of the handle is not quite so sure am. A small minus is that the 2 black caps are designed for dithering pins in the telescopic arm rather weak or too brittle, ie, it breaks fast from one piece, if you come with this on a branch - this is me not fat nor in the happened, but also may be due to that I already had a longer time.
That there are no spare parts in so far is wrong, as that currently the blade is available separately. (If necessary, search under "Siena Garden Replacement Blade for 358 328").
However, that's not necessarily a shortcoming, because often cost spares almost as much or even more than a new pair of scissors)
I see the incredible value and the total of more than satisfactory performance, so I can not help but forgive 5 Recommended Stars.
