The worlds first anvil pruner was developed & patented by Walther Schroder in Kiel, Germany in 1923. Randolph Schroder, the current Managing Director, is the third generation of his family to manufacture Lowe pruners, continuing the family tradition. The company's pruners are designed & manufactured to the highest standards, & although many British gardeners will not have heard of them, it is likely that they have owned a pair, because for many years the pruners were manufactured by Rolcut here in the UK & sold under that well-known brand name. Anvil Loppers
- These anvil loppers, with curved blade, combine the advantages of anvil technology & bypass geometry. The curved blade & anvil prevents the branch from slipping out, & their design ensures maximum cutting force combined with a precise cut that is gentle on the plant, combining good cutting capacity with a small handle-opening angle. The blade's Teflon coating prevents rusting & stops debris sticking, & it has comfortable plastic handles & strong, lightweight, oval aluminium tubes. Length 80cm (311/2).
