 PowerGear Makes A Big Difference! November 23, 2008
Marty L. Swank (Ashland, Wisconsin USA)
I am a member of the Chequamegon Chapter of the North Country Trail Association. Our chapter is responsible for maintaining 61.4 miles of North Country National Scenic Trail in the Chequamegon National Forest. After first trying a pair of these on the NCT (North Country Trail), I ordered some of these for our chapter's tool box for our volunteers to use. Over the last few years many volunteers have also purchased these on their own for use on their adopted sections of NCT. Some members have the smaller size that fits in a day pack (the PowerGear still gives these plenty of power) and others have the larger sizes. The 21-inch PowerGear is powerful enough to cut smaller evergreens and makes lopping branches a snap. Some of our volunteers are women and senior citizens and these lightweight PowerGear loppers make lopping a easier task for them. If I have any complaints, it would be the actual blade. I little more durable blade would be more desirable. Given the advantage of the PowerGear, this has been a minor consideration for our chapter.
Our volunteers would be a true testing ground for any lopping product. Not many people do as much lopping in the time span of one year than some of our dedicated volunteers. It would be fair to say, that all of our volunteers that have used these loppers give them a resounding thumbs up!!
Excllent Tool for an 88 yr. old gardener! July 18, 2008

My father borrowed our Fiskars lopper and was immediately impressed with the capacity--so much so that a new one became his Father's Day present (from Amazon.com). The gearing makes the job easier, with minimal strain and excellent control.
 Fiskars 21 inch loppers June 11, 2008
Peter C. Kohnke (Pennsylvania)
I am quite pleased with the loppers. Others have detailed the advantages well. Indeed, I am going to buy two more.
There is a small disadvantage (and that is why I need to buy more). They cannot be sharpened very much. They are bypass shears, and on my old ones, you can see light thru the cutting heads when they are closed. In other words, I have to then rip off the few fibers not yet severed. So I need to trash my old one and replace it. I wish the design had allowed for some 'sharpening fat'.
 High capacity, but weak handles January 27, 2008

Works well but handles can't take the torque of a large person. Mine broke off after about a year of fairly heavy use. Also, has trouble with harder wood like mesquite.

These loppers are simply the BEST! When my husband and I moved into a new old house, we found the yard filled with very old, overgrown shrubs in great need of serious pruning. We purchased these loppers for that purpose and have not been disappointed. They're pricier than the average pruner but the gearing really does help make cutting big branches a snap (so to speak).
Upper-body strength is something I don't have a lot of, but with these loppers, I can lop off 2" branches with a single snip. Very, very impressive. They have a good "feel" and when you're lobbing off branches, you feel like you're using a *real tool* and not some cheapo, lightweight imitation.
They've been dropped, tripped over, used to cut tree roots down deep in the dirt and more, and they're still sharp and strong and impressive. From now on, I'll probably stick with Fiskars for all of my sharp-edged garden implements.
