Been looking to buy a pair of loppers. I know I want the bypass type, but

Also if I want to take the loppers apart for sharpening purposes will it be
difficult to re-assemble if there's a ratchet mechanim involved, or is it
straightforward assuming someone here had experience of doing this as I've
no expereience of loppers with a ratchet included?


I have secateurs from these people and they are great. Link to loppers.....
