Would Not RecommendI bought this small lopper a year or so ago, and it worked great until it didn't. The plastic "anvil" half of the jaws, opposite from teh blade, snapped right off. Should have known not to buy plastic loppers. Live and learn. I suggest you buy one of the other models and stay away from the plastic jaws.

Very powerful cutters for little cost
Would Recommendeasy to buy online and ships quick. I got it a few days after ordering the Lopper tool. Never had a chance to see them in person at the store since they were never in stock, but with Lowe's store policy of easy returns I didn't worry if I didn't like them or work for me to take them back to the store or returning them. once I got them, I used them on this over grown rose bush and worked like a dream. Truly worth the money. Easy to use and cuts thick branches with little effort which is good sinc...

Great light weight
We use these for my dirt bike club, we carry them in a holster on the bike. They work well and are light weight. We are hard on them and they do eventually fail but they are not built to be HD.

Nice size but not real strong
Would RecommendI bought this lopper several years ago and I have really liked it for trimming branches under 1 inch. Was using the other day and the plastic that the blade contacts broke like others have said in their reviews. I guess from what I have read here there is no replacement part available so I guess I will have to go shopping for a new one. Would attach a picture but can't figure out how to do it.

Poor quality to use a plastic blade...
Would Not RecommendI bought this short handle lopper a few years ago for branches sized between the hand clippers and using my saw. This lopper works on very small branches, but when i tried it on a medium branch, the plastic blade snapped. Why would Fiskars add a PowerGear to a set of loppers and then make one of the blades plastic. Very poor design and quality. I do not recommend this short handled lopper.

Dangerous and breaks easily
Would Not RecommendThey work if it does not break. I was lopping through all types of branches easily until one branch when the plastic around the blade broke. I was just pushing my arms together and it really wasn't even close to unreasonable pressure. These are dangerous and the entire hinge and blade should be metal. Do not buy these unless you only intend to cut 1/8" round branches or less. Mine are covered under warranty and I have no intention of making a claim.

Cheap Blade-NO REPLACEMENT
Would Not RecommendWife bought this from Costco about a month ago. Finally got out clear the ivy from our split rail fence. After 3 cuts, the blade started to chip. After 2 hours of use the tool is now useless as they don't sell replacement blades. Thought this would have been easier with my carpal tunnel but had to use my small hand pruners anyway to finish the job. I was only cutting small ivy nothing larger than 1/2" and the blade is garbage!

Thank you so much for your review, John!

Love these loppers.
As a landscaper for over 45 years, this is definitely my favorite loppers. Lightweight, ergonomic, and the shorter handles make using in tight spaces so easy. I highly recommend this model.

Love them!
Would RecommendI have used these for years and they will cut things off that are much bigger than the regular ones. Absolutely love them! I think I finally broke them after going crazy on a rose i5f Sharon forest but this was after 6 or 7 years of use and a lot of force.
