Rather "loppers" as Lopper

First the positive: the scissors cut comfortably very well, by the lever mechanism need to cut little force.
The biggest drawback: the scissor holds loads at branches (about inch-thick) is not enough. My 88-year-old mother has managed that the connecting struts tear, and it is not an athlete (see my customer photo). The struts are made of cheap cast zinc, etc. Material, here you should use more stable iron struts. Gardena promises cocky 25-year guarantee on the scissors, but refuses to replace these items cent if you can not provide a proof of purchase. Who pray tell lifts for 25 years receipts from the hardware store on (and find them then even if required)?

For shrubs the scissors to good use for the tree cutting but not. I have now, however, the lopper of Siena, which makes a much more solid impression, but also heavier.
