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

I inherited my gardener sister’s old loppers and shears that have chopped many a hefty bush or tree on our plant-loving property. They are all too dull by now to chop through anything but tendrils and I have no idea how to sharpen them, so I bought these loppers for one specific job: wild blackberries.Don’t laugh. I’m terrified of blackberries. They have these murder thorns, much like my cats. Unlike my sweet kitties, blackberries don’t let go.A creek runs by our house. Blackberries love the creek. In the spring, there is explosive growth and they begin taking over the public sidewalk, forcing neighborhood walkers to detour into the dreaded car zone. It’s just rude.I’m not a gardener. I’m nervous about things like bugs (while appreciating what they do … mostly) and things that stab me without warning. In past years I’ve tackled the blackberries without finesse, chopping vines with great effort using loppers so dull that I could then pick up the cut parts using the same loppers to toss them into the debris bin.I figured with new cutters I might need to actually handle the hurtful twits, so also bought some leather palmed gardening gloves. Brilliant!I removed more of the vines than ever before! No stab wounds! A bloodless coup! Very little effort needed! I should hang a sign by the sidewalk saying “This dagger-free walkspace courtesy of {homeowner}. No homeowners were harmed in the process.” (You must pronounce that word using the ‘meow’ in the middle of it.)

When I trim one of my trees, I have to cut the branches up into one foot sections to fit in the trash can. You'd be amazed how much tree trimmings you can fit into your garbage can by doing this. However, this can be a pain with a one handed tool. My hand starts to ache after a 20 minutes or so. These little choppers are the perfect solution. I can chop up any small branches using both hands. This way, my hand doesn't get quite the workout it did before.Been using them for a couple of months. Quality and reliability are fine. They are holding up and work just like new.

Super Good and effective for gardening. You don't need to have a lot of strength to cut branches with this product. Also, after a few month I had some issues with the product and the warranty communication was easy and the sent a replacement in a few days.

Perfect cutter. The Fisker blade makes all the difference. I tried a cheaper one that got pitted and distorted after a few cuts on some weeds. Spend a couple of bucks moorland get this one.

If you're not super serious about yard work but you still need something that can handle decent size branches, this is definitely the tool you want. Easily the best bang for buck, and the handles telescope which is nice if you don't need that much reach or leverage. Nice and sharp to boot. The first time I used them they went through 1.5 inch branches like they were butter.

These pruners weigh half of nothing, are super sharp and slice anything up to what yod probably want to use a saw on anyway. I also really like the anvil-cut design, rather then the more common bypass. This, along with the gear system , make it work like a bolt-cutter.

The best lightweight lopper ever! It's incredibly light and sharp. The smart design saves me a lot of time and makes trimming small branches enjoyable. It's a truly powerful lopper. I would definitely buy this again.

These are so nice for a woman or even an elderly person. Usually these are super heavy and hard to even hold up but NOT these. The lightest tool I've ever held in my hand.Will buy again.
