8290RS Razorsharp Advance Heavy Duty Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Lopper
The Spear & Jackson Razorsharp Heavy Duty Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Lopper is ideal for cutting thicker and harder branches and easily handles a branch 2-inch (50mm) in diameter. These loppers feature a ratchet action which provides a mechanical advantage by advancing the spring loaded cutting blade towards the anvil blade in short steps to complete the cut with a minimum of effort.
Product Features
Ratchet Action Cutting
Simply open the handles to activate the ratchet, then close the handle below the cutting blade until the audible click, open again until the next click and repeat the process.
SK5 Carbon Steel Blades
The PTFE coated SK5 carbon steel cutting blade gives lasting sharpness, reduces friction during cutting and provides resistance to rust. The anvil blade is made from a softer metal to avoid damage to the cutting blade and is serrated to stop the branch twisting during the cut.
Tubular Aluminium Handles
Our simple to operate ‘twist & lock’ telescopic handles extend from 15.75" (400mm) to 31.5" (800mm) for additional reach when required and are made from tubular aluminium to remain as light as possible without compromising on strength. The handles are finished with soft-feel non-slip grips for comfort and safety during use.

- Reviewed in Canada on March 27, 2025Verified PurchaseUpdate: was disappointed when one of the handle on my Spear & Jackson 8290RS Razorsharp Heavy Duty Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Loppers came off and I could not attach. Contacted 鶹 regarding replacement.
鶹 is replacing the Spear & Jackson 8290RS Razorsharp Heavy Duty Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Loppers with a new one. Hope it will arrive by Wednesday April 23rd so I can have it for a Volunteer Training Day with the Nature Trust of New Brunswick on Thursday April 24th
The Spear & Jackson 8290RS Razorsharp Heavy Duty Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Loppers looks awesome. Well built and strong. Being retired I spend much of my time in working in the woods on my property building trails and a good set of loppers are a necessity.
Usually by my Loppers from local Canadian Tire or Kent's building supply and even though I by the best they usually end up being tossed in the garbage after a year. However the Spear & Jackson 8290RS Razorsharp Heavy Duty Telescopic Ratchet Anvil Loppers should last a lifetime. Getting up there in age and hopefully I will outlive the 10yr guarantee.
My wife was the one to ask for a new lopper but I think I will be the one using this one, because it is heavy to carry
- Reviewed in Canada on March 30, 2025Verified PurchaseSharp as sharp can be. They cut through 2 1/2" branches quite easily. Really nice quality metal and durable. I kept the package because it keeps the gears and blades clean. Ive used it for a full summer, a fall clean up and a spring pruning. Really good quality. Would definitely recommend.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 9, 2022Verified PurchasePurchased to prune apple tree branches that regular loppers couldnt quite slice through. Works up to 1 to 1 1/2 inch diameter branches. Extends one length on both arms to reach farther--dont buy one with 2 lengths elsewhere as you wont have the leverage or strength (from your arm or your lopper) to angle a proper cut. Use a ladder, not an extender, preferably. Ratcheting mechanism also serves to close the cutting blade against the anvil--can be tricky the first time you use it but worth persevering. Relatively expensive, but from a reputable manufacturer. Perfect team with heavy-duty ratcheting secateurs and Baek Ma folding pruning saw from Lee Valley.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 6, 2024Verified PurchaseI bought the O.G. version of this tool about 12 years ago at a trade show, and they finally broke. Ordered this replacement one and it's basically the exact same model. Works great so far
- Reviewed in Canada on November 15, 2020Verified PurchaseThese loppers are amazing for cutting up small dead trees and large branches on our rural property for firewood. I wish I had a pair many years ago. They are really sturdy and cut so easy. I love the ratchet system. For those smaller branches, non ratchet loppers are better. I filled a wheelbarrow with small logs within an hour. I’ll add, I’m a senior with a torn rotator cuff tendon and arthritis and these made this chore really easy.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 10, 2024Verified PurchaseAwesome product, easy on the hands, every bit as good as advertised. I bought 2 as I liked the first one so much! I still use the original one, just purchased another one as I use them at 2 different locations!
- Reviewed in Canada on November 22, 2019Verified PurchaseI purchased this tool to clear our rural property of dead wood and overgrown small alder trees around our pond and streams. Cuts through the branches like butter. It did take a few tries before I got the hang of how they work as the ratchet action is different than regular clippers. I'm on the petite side and don't have a lot of upper body strength so I found them a bit heavy, but they do great job and I guess my arms will look great by next summer.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 5, 2022Verified PurchasePurchased for a family member. They love them!
Lightweight, sturdy, easy to use & well made!
Recipient said, “these are brilliant” & thanked me many times. He has lent them to neighbours, all said they were excellent and wanted to know where they could be purchased!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy duty tool. Very well made
Verified PurchaseWe use for trimming tree and shrub branches. I easily cut 2 inch hardwood limbs with this tool. To extend the handle, twist the knob at the end of the handle and slide to desired length, then turn the knob back to original position. Works well.
It is a ratchet system with plenty of leverage for large limbs. Once you start closing the jaw by closing the handles, each open and close of the handle advances to the next ratchet notch. To fully open the jaws again, the handles must be opened WIDELY to release the ratchet. This might be a bit awkward if working in tight quarters.
Excellent quality all around
