Ratings & Reviews for Fiskars PowerGear 10.9-in Steel Compound anvil Lopper

Loppers great for cutting through tree roots.

Lightweight but sharp and powerful enough to cut through tree roots

Floppy handles

I bought this short handle lopper 2 days ago, 5/6/24. When I removed the restraining ties I found that there was no friction or resistance holding the handles and they flopped back and forth freely. When I tried to adjust the 2 hex nuts holding the cutting blade they were resistant to tightening or loosening. I have owned many, many long handled loppers over the years, including Fiskars, and have never encountered an issue like this that I couldn't correct. This makes working with these lopp...

Blade issues

My Super Pruner with Titanium blade was purchased last summer for shrub pruning only. I pruned one viburnum and one oak leaf hydrangea. Blade now pitted and unusable. I regularly maintain my (other brand) hand pruners so know how to maintain blades and match blade size to limb cutting task. Really disappointed; nice while it lasted, which wasn’t very long. Finished the job with my trusty long handled loppers I’ve used/maintained for 10+ years.

Poor quality

I bought this not even a year ago and hardly used. I was cutting a small branch and the plastic broke. The quality is very poor. Tried to attach a picture but it didn’t let me.

Love these short-handled lopers!

The shorter handles on these loppers let you get into tight places easily. The blades cut smoothly with minimal effort on most small branches and stems. I'm really pleased with these.

Outstanding cutting power for small Looper.

Cuts small branches easy.

Nice concept, but begs for a replacement blade

Purchased 8 mos ago (Lowes) for seasonal work around the garden. Easy to use, liked it so much initially that I bought one for my sister. Unfortunately and as mentioned, the blades are easily pitted and made from "unobtanium". Oddly, I see online that the replacement blade for the larger lopper says it'll fit part # 9132, the same PN as this pruner, but the shape is different. Waiting to hear back from Cust Svc.

Blade is sharp but very fragile

I have bought 3 of these loppers; the last has a titanium blade. None of the blades have been durable and it's too expensive to keep buying entire loppers which doesn't seem to last more than a week. PLEASE offer replacement blades. There's no other lopper so light and sharp, but once the blade gets chipped, it's useless and aggravating.

Cut so smooth!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super lightweight but the power of these clippers are unmatched! It cut a branch smooth like knife on butter! And I didn’t experience any fatigue in my hands because it’s so lightweight. Whoever designed this did their BIG ONE!

Very nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who doesn’t do a ton of gardening, these are great. They cut very well. They are super easy to use. I used them to trim my bushes and a few small tree branches. The only thing I wish they had a was a lock to keep them closed when not in use. Other than that, they worked amazingly.

Incredibly light, yet strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These PowerGear Loppers (15 in.) were so surprisingly lightweight! I have lupus and decreased strength in my fingers and hands; however, I had no difficulty at all trimming tree branches and cutting shrubs back. These are great!

It’s ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just okay in my opinion. The handles are not very long. It is made of plastic, but still is able to cut branches well enough. Seems durable and easy to use.

Go-to Pruner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best all around pruner I own. It’s light weight, durable and strong. Cuts branches like butter with very little effort. The pruner is really easy to use and is my current go-to tool. Highly recommend!

Lightweight lopper!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool is great for quick small branch tasks. It is comfortable to use and lightweight. Easily cuts through overgrowth. I did struggle with larger branches as the tool did not feel sturdy enough to trim those. I prefer my metal lopper for those types of jobs. Good tool for small work!

Super lightweight!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great quality. They are durable and super lightweight. They make simple brush / limb cutting efficient and easy! I would absolutely recommend these to anyone!

Light but mighty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are fantastic! Great for pruning my larger plants and so very light for easy handling. Definitely not heavy and hard to use like others I’ve tried.
