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

The Fiskars Lopper is a fixed handle tool with an emphasis on the quality of the blade. The brand offers free replacement blades for life, which only adds to the value for money of the product. The handles are covered in a hard spongy polymer, and the lopper weighs about 3 pounds. There are no gears, but the leverage is such that they handle 1.75 inch diameter hard branches and 2 inch softwood, and for an older Consumer, the handles are easily manageable. The lopper blade has a smooth cut and is very sharp, making it excellent for cutting large branches. It is a durable tool that can handle most outdoor gardening and pruning tasks. However, some users have found that the blade can chip quickly after a few uses, and the blade spacing can decrease over time, producing less effective cuts. Some found the loppers to be too heavy-duty and heavy for their needs.
