Overview
Cutting branches up to the stated diameter, this Fiskars lopper uses the patented PowerGear mechanism to boost leverage in a hook-head bypass design. The blades are hardened steel with a non-stick coating, and the handles are fibreglass and plastic.
A light build and a leverage mechanism suit shrub and rose trimming where thick wood is not involved. The listing quotes several different lengths, so measure the reach you need before buying.
Who it's for
Light pruning around beds and hedges is the intended work. Those with tree branches thicker than the rated size should choose a saw or a heavier lopper.
Pros and cons
- PowerGear leverage mechanism
- Hardened steel non-stick blades
- Bypass cut for green wood
- Small cutting diameter
- Length stated inconsistently
- Spare part availability limited to one year
Performance notes
A bypass action slides one blade past a hook, which cuts living wood cleanly. The PowerGear mechanism changes the leverage through the stroke so less hand force is needed, and the non-stick coating reduces drag in sappy wood.
