"For 18 years my wife Mary and I have lived in a forest - the lot for our house was carved out of a hardwood forest.  I have enjoyed the shroud of coolness provided by trees and the constant changes in each tree as seasons progress.  I have also spent a lot of time trimming tree limbs in an effort to keep my living space in the yard open for our use.  I have learned that a good pair of tree loppers must feel good and confident in your hands. They must hold an edge - and be made of the very best steel.  The ratcheting mechanism should stand the pressures of cutting through substantial limbs without jamming or twisting.  And finally, extendable handles provide access to branches that otherwise may be out of reach.  I found these loppers and field tested them.  In fact, I gave them to professional friends of mine in the tree trimming business and as one of them [Rudy] said, "These are the best tree loppers I have ever used.  I think you should be proud to put your name on them."  I am and I did - thanks Rudy!  And that is why I guarantee these loppers."
