Don't have loppers myself but when my dad was complaining about the state of my hedge cutter things, I sent him off with some money and he came back with a pair of Fiskars because he rates them as a good brand (and they are brilliant compared with the others!). So now I'll be buying Fiskars for all sorts.

I also have a pruning saw from Silky Fox which was really expensive but is just amazing. I think they do loppers as well which I imagine are great.

We have two Fiskars anvil loppers which are used a hell of a lot to great effect. We also have a Silky pruning saw which was expensive but incredibly sharp - a very dangerous tool, one slip and no fingers!

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.
