Fiskars 15-Inch PowerGear Loppers, Sharp Steel Blade Bush and Tree Trimmer, Cuts up to 1.25-Inch Diameter Branches, Rust Resistant and Lightweight Pruner, Yard Tools for Gardening

Wow wow wow! I wish I had found these handy little loppers sooner! They're incredibly lightweight, which with my arthritic hands and wrists is a stellar feature. The blades can be replaced, which is great. They cut swiftly and effectively. I recently cut out the dead yucca flowers, which form on a thick, woody stem. These cut through them like butter! Really! And pruning the butterfly bush was easy with these loppers. I'll be giving these as Christmas gifts this year!

Nice and powerful, cuts thru 2 plus inch limbs...muscle needed but it's easier than chain saw

The old timers in my neighborhood always told me the job is easier when you have the right tool. The right tool for the right job makes all the difference. Super sharp they cut through Manoa and foxtail palm branches with ease. Not to cumbersome or awkward to use. The open and close easy and stay shut when your done. None of that walking around and they just flop open on you. The grips are comfortable on your hands and not weird when you have gloves on for gardening. Definitely a great tool for the yard!

Very good quality. Good length to reach difficult areas and to keep away from the thorns on some plants and great cutting power. Works as described.

First off, I will say these are not meant to be super heavy duty loppers for pruning large branches. They are meant to be small, light, and easy to use, and in those areas, it excels. When they first showed up, I thought no way these can cut a 1" hardwood branch, they are so light they have to be flimsy. OK, I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. For as light as these are, they are surprisingly strong. The blade is sharp, coated to be rust resistant, and cutting effort is much less than expected. Durability is good, too. These are not the first pair I got, I had some for several years, and they served me better than I expected for both the price, and for how lightweight they are. I actually got these for my daughter, who likes to help out in the yard. They are light and super easy for even a 13 year old girl to use, the little gear reduction thing at the jaws really helps reduce the strength needed to cut, and they are light enough they don't wear her out. Also, the cutter is 'offset' so that it can almost cut flush if you hold them the right way. I tend to only give 5 star ratings to items that stand out above and beyond others I have used, and these come SOOOO close, but I'll give them 4-1/2 stars because over time the little bolts that hold the blades will loosen, and require tightening every once in a while. Not very often, but they still do. Keep in mind, my old pair have made hundreds of cuts, and maybe needed tightening 3 times. They still worked fine when the bolt loosened up, but they started to get a slight 'wobbly' feel in the hinge. When I saw I could get another pair for $15, I jumped on the chance.

It's only dumb luck that I discovered that Fiskars actually makes loppers. And seeing as how I have always been a big fan of Fiskars scissors, I just had to try their little 15-inch PowerGear Loppers. Well, they sure haven't disappointed, that's for sure. These suckers cut through just about everything that I throw at them. Even things that I probably shouldn't be cutting with them, lol. But what I found to be most noticeable about them, is how extremely light weight they are. I mean, if I didn't know any better I would assume they are made of plastic. And as it turns out, the handles ARE made of plastic. Well, supposedly they are made of plastic with a steel or fiberglass exoskeleton inside of them or something. It has to do with their DuraFrame construction. But anyway, before you decide on these, wouldn't you know that there are white ones like this on Amazon? And also, that there are cheaper ones on Home Depot's website, that say that the blade on them is titanium (at the time of this review)?? Something to check into. I wish I had know both of those details before I ordered these...

Super sharp and does quick work on my persimmon, guava, lemon, and grapefruit trees! Easy and comfortable to use. Fiskars is my go to brand when it comes to my gardening/camping tools!

I recommend these for garden work. I can use them on most branches easily. They are durable and quality made.

Excelente producto y marca

Great quality product which work very well. Good edge on the loppers

Très bon produit

Got these for my mum who is an avid gardener but has carpal tunnel syndrome in her wrists, so she struggles to prune the larger trees and bushes around her home. The product is incredibly lightweight, and she powered through pruning a whole Oleander tree by herself so I'm very happy with the purchase. The blade seems to be made out of some type of plastic feeling material which seems to be non-stick and easy to clean, but also super sharp . Seems to be great quality and I would buy again.

I just wish I brought it years ago.
