Trevor experiences sheer cutting force with a new WOLF-Garten lopper.

• Pruning is crucial for maintaining plant health, enhancing shape, and promoting the growth of fresh wood, leading to improved flower displays and fruit production in spring and summer.
• Essential tools for pruning include secateurs, but for thicker cuts, a reliable lopper like the WOLF-Garten RS800V Powercut Vario Lopper is essential.
• Not all loppers are equal and the WOLF-Garten lopper stands out with its lightweight aluminium construction, ergonomic design for ease of use, longer handles which provide increased leverage and cutting power, and it’s 10 year warranty guarantee.
• The lopper features stainless steel anvil jaws which are perfect for cutting thick branches, and an 80cm reach which eliminates the need for ladders and preventing common garden injuries associated with falls.
• Safety is paramount, and using the right tool for the job is emphasized, with the RS800V lopper having a wide cutting diameter of 50mm and a power cut mode for up to 4x greater leverage on any cut.
• Maintaining sharp and clean tools is essential to prevent the spread of disease, so cleaning the blades with white spirits or a rag between plants helps avoid the transmission of fungi and bacteria.
• When pruning, it's recommended to cut just above the node at a slight angle to encourage bud growth in that direction; this practice is believed to be particularly helpful in humid climates to prevent water pooling and potential rot issues.
• The RS800V Powercut Vario Lopper is available online and in-store at Bunnings Warehouse and WOLF-Garten garden specialist dealers.
