Fiskars 28" Power-Lever Garden Bypass Loppers, 1.75" Cut Capacity

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.

Great product, sharp and works as it should this was a good purchase!

The Fiskars 28-Inch Power-Lever Lopper is a solid tool for yard work. The blades are sharp and cut through medium branches with very little effort. The power-lever design really does give extra cutting strength, making it easier to get through thicker limbs without straining. My wife loves this for trimming her rose bushes when the pruning shears just won't do. It feels sturdy but not too heavy, so it’s comfortable to use for longer trimming sessions. We’ve used it on branches up to around 1.5 inches and it handled them cleanly. For general tree and shrub maintenance, this lopper works exactly as advertised and makes the job much easier.

These work like a charm and you can’t beat the price.

Used this to cut tree branches that were hanging low and brushing top of my SUV when I backed out of my carport. Easily cut through live wood branches 1 3/4" thick to 2" thick needing just a little arm/shoulder power. Smaller than that was snip snip no trouble at all. My only negative for this tool - it's kind of heavy for me. So if you're looking for a light weight trimmer this one may not be your best bet. But it does a great job cutting through those pesky low hanging limbs.

Good quality trimmer. Used these to cut back some smaller limbs on the trees that were overhanging the driveway. For reference some limbs were about the thickness of the handle on a baseball bat. Cut through, some difficulty in wider areas, but overall cut effectively. Durable and quality material. May be large for smaller or weaker individuals to use, but the length allows for us to reach much higher areas than previously.

Bought it, used it, Fiskars is quality as ever, despite being so reasonably priced. Any time I need a new yard tool or inside cutting tool, I always check to see if Fiskars makes what I need first. Even if I mistreat them (such as shoving the cutting head underground to cut off at the roots) they're always sturdy, easy to clean, and dependably sharp.

Very good,i will buy it again.

As the name suggests, these are powerful, high-quality cutters for trimming branches.

Avevo un prodotto più piccolo, per cui corrisponde alle aspettative. Se non fosse per la lama che stecca ogni tanto meriterebbe un maggiore apprezzamento.

Tough and durable loppers that feel like they'll last

So heavy duty. I was able to trim all my hedges and some branches were even as thick as like 1.5 inches in diameter and it cut through with ease. Would buy this again

La capacidad de corte de esta criatura es impresionante. No escatimes recursos comprando pincitas. Esta palanca es de otro nivel y corta las ramas de hasta 5 cm como si fueran mantequilla. Me parecieron particularmente útiles para unos arbustos que se comportan como lianas horizontales y que son de difícil acceso para un machete y para bugambilias por las espinas. Mi única duda es por qué dice "eléctrica" en el título.
