Fiskars 28-Inch Power-Lever Garden Bypass Lopper and Tree Trimmer, Sharp Precision-Ground Steel Blade for Cutting Branches up to 1.75-Inch Diameter

Worked Amazing For Me
I’ve seen a few bad reviews for these particular loppers online. Many people have had complaints of them bending or breaking. That is completely not the case in my experience. I’ve definitely found these to be a five star product. My honey and I bought a homestead this fall. Most of the back of the home was covered in thick alder trees. Beautiful as they were- they also invited bears into our yard without us even being able to see them. The trees had to go. My honey sawed with a power saw and I did the final landscaping with these wonderful loppers.I like to consider myself a strong girl, but I’m probably not as strong as I think I am. My muscles are about average to most women’s. So needless to say I can’t bust tree branches with a pair of scissors… unless it’s this pair of scissors. I was literally amazed how easy these were to use! I went around our yard chopping off small to medium sized branches from trees that were crowding too close to outbuildings. These things cut through branches like butter! Literally- it was as easy as taking a butter knife and cutting butter. I barely had to work (don’t tell my honey that though- he still thinks I put some effort into making our yard look nice).They are extendable so I could reach higher branches without a stool or ladder (and on our lumpy ground neither is safe to stand on). Nothing on the handles lock them in place, so sometimes when you’re chopping they’ll move. This wasn’t a huge issue for me- but I could see how for some people it would be frustrating. There are foam coverings on the handles, which makes them very comfortable to use for long periods of time. I’ve used these multiple times and never gotten blisters (even after a few hours of work).They’re sized for fairly small branches. They weren’t made to chop down huge trees. Basically for small shrubbery and smaller breeds of trees (alder, willow, fruit trees). I wouldn’t recommend them for most hardwoods. They’re not extremely tough. They did cut through my alder okay, but I can’t imagine them breaking through larger hardwood species.The cutting part is made from a straight edge and a curved edge. This is nice because you can ensure you’re cutting the branch you want to cut by wrapping it with the curved edge and then sawing it down with the straight edge. The cuts it leaves are nice. It can cut straight across or at an angle. Kids play in our yard so I tried to leave mostly straight edges instead of diagonal sharp slopes they could fall on. These always did a good job of getting the cut I wanted.Overall I am so happy with these and am disappointed to see them be discontinued by the manufacturer. I loved my pair and would buy them again if I could find them.

Love these awesome nippers!
I absolutely hate gardening. Must be that my mom made me help her when I was a kid. Anyhow my husband like trimming and my 11 yo seemed to have gotten the bug this summer. My brother told me to buy nippers, for my husband to use really. Anyhow I was using them yesterday and actually enjoyed cutting up branches and dead flower trees. It was enjoyable. Never thought I’d ever say that, but I love them! The work just as advertised! Anyone who gardens needs them! Super easy to use, sturdy- as all Fiskar product are! I highly recommend them.

I would cut green stuff like going through butter and old hard dead wood too
I own a smaller fiskar lopper some 6 years now and I have cut everything and anything I could get the blades around and it is still going strong. I would cut green stuff like going through butter and old hard dead wood too. I has a couple of small nicks on the blade but is still doing the jog. I had a couple of runaway fruit trees in the back and the branches had gotten too big for my 20″ fisdar and when I broke out my bigger loppers, you know, the ones with the extended handles that slide out giving you some great leverage? Well, when I said “broke out” that is just what happened on my second cut through a 2″ + branch the looper collapsed at the shank, just below the cutting head. I shopped around and was surprised to find these Fiskars Looper at such a reasonable price, and I knew I wanted the extended handles, so when I saw these it seemed to be a no brainer. I sent for them, then read the reviews — man, was I making that old mistake, jumping before looking? Some reviewers had some serious reservations about these Looper. Oh well, when they arrived I realized why I like the Fiskar. If it was to be a beauty contest, Fiskar would win, but cute and pretty does not get the job done, well, not in the backyard anyway. They cut like butter. The handle extend and lock in place as they should. I love these Loopers. As for the complaint that you have to open them up so wide, at the handle end, to get around a twig means nothing to me and I wonder what price you would be paying for a Looper designed to only open up a couple of inches at the handles while opening like a shark on attack at the business end? It is only a matter of physics (?) that if you extend the handles out they will become further and further apart. I did not find this a problem as I looped off limb after big limb. I only had two limbs where I had to use a saw.

Good quality, awesome.
Work very well. Have nothing negative to say. Nice lopers. Perfect length

Muy útil, resistente y ayuda muchísimo para hacer el corte sin tanto esfuerzo.

Also für den Preis absolut empfehlenswert!Geht dir gut 4-5cm dicke Äste wie durch Butter!!!
