PowerGear II bypass gear lopper for fresh wood, non-stick coated, hardened precision steel, cutting diameter 5 cm, length 70 cm, black/orange, L78, 1000584

Great quality. Lightweight pair of loppers. The usual Fiskars quality. We have multiple different sizes of these loppers, they all work well. Works well and easy to use. Cuts brilliantly.

This was purchased to replace my old Wilkinson Sword pruners. The blade is sharp and cuts well. The handles feel sturdy. I have done a lot of heavy pruning and it works very well. The only drawback is that you need to open it very wide to hook the cutting head around a stem, and if the stem is in an awkward place, it is difficult to open the pruner enough. However, I cope with this by moving aside other branches. All in all, I can really recommend this product.

These loppers work well, applying considerable force and cutting through wood up to 2" thick. BUT, the blades dent easily and my show signs of wear after less than eight hours of use!! At £37, and already in need of sharpening, I would say they are expensive but they do work (which is more than can be said for the majority of loppers available on the market).

These loppers have only just arrived - in true Amazon style in a box eight times bigger than necessary with paper packing ten yards long. They are a replacement for my 22 year old and now blunt Wilkinson Sword loppers, which have served me well. They are bigger and sturdier than the old ones and the blade is very sharp. I will enjoy using these and think they represent good value for money.

These are the best loppers I've ever used and I've used a few! These loppers are geared rather than ratcheted which enables to cut through sizeable branches including green ones as if you are cutting through butter! I wouldn't have believed how good they were until I used them for myself. It was a friend who recommended them and I can tell you they have revolutionised my gardening! They are also extremely light which means no aching arms after using them. I simply will not be without them now and am quite possessive of them!!

The loppers are very light and the power gear system make them very powerful for the length of handle. The shorter handles mean you can get up close to where you're cutting. I used these first for cutting back a pyracantha which would have been a painful process with secateurs and a bow saw. I've also used them cutting back branches of fir trees. They slice easily through branches of 4cm thickness and save a lot of time over a bow saw. I wouldn't be without them now and highly recommend them. I like the look and feel of Fiskars products and now tend to choose them over other brands.

The lopper works well and the ratchet action gives very strong cutting. On receipt it didn't look too strong but in practice has worked very well. The only thing that can be a bit frustrating is the need to open the handles very wide to engage the ratchet action when cutting thick branches. However this only is an issue when cutting say one branch in a bunch when the other branches can get in the way of opening the handles wide enough. Overall works well and does the job.

I'm never disappointed with anything I buy that has Fiskars written on it. These are lightweight and easy to use and I've never seen a pair of loppers cleave through a two inch hawthorn branch with quite so much ease. Don't be put off by the fact that they are made of plastic, Fiskars seem to have discovered some strange nigh unbreakable voodoo plastic that will quite happily take the strain of a full grown man putting as much force through the gearing as he can. The blade is razor sharp and keeps its edge impressively well and there's plenty of room for sharpening so these loppers have a good long lifespan. As with anything Fiskars they are pricey but unlike most expensive garden equipment Fiskars products are worth the price.

Hatte vorher mal eine fiskars L72 oder so, ganz und gar aus Metall und war begeistert von der Robustheit, des leichten Gewichts und der Stärke beim Schnitt. Die gehörte einem Kumpel. nun habe ich mir die obige Plastikschere von Fiskars gekauft aber noch nicht eingesetzt. Das soll ja irgendein besonderes Plastik sein, ich bin aber skeptisch. Ich werde sie jetzt im Januar mal richtig hernehmen, so wie die andere, ältere, die das alles klaglos hinnahm. Wenn die Plastischere auseinander fliegt, werde ich auf jeden Fall hier die Bewertung nochmal ändern, das ist sicher.

La principal "ventaja" de estas tijeras de podar es su defecto, y es que para reducir la fuerza a aplicar en los mangos, se auxilia de unos engranajes (de plástico) que reducen, y mucho, la fuerza necesaria de corte, pero claro, para conseguirlo es necesario abrir mucho más, de lo que normalmente se requiere en unas tijeras normales, los mangos para poder cortar. Esto en un arbusto o arbol que es denso en ramas no es posible no hay espacio, con lo que lo dicho, su ventaja es su defecto.

Ich habe heute die Fiskars an einem Haselnuss Strauch ausgiebig getestet. Die Astschere wird meinen Erwartungen gerecht. Ein ermüdungsfreies Arbeiten über einen längeren Zeitraum, obwohl sie 'nur' 50 cm lang ist. Auch Dank ihres geringen Gewichts sie Überkopf Schnitte leicht und sicher. Die Messer schneiden wie durch Butter. Empfehlenswert!

Super Gerät

Como todas las herramientas de esta marca, es genial! Con unos mangos tan pequeños se hace más fuerza que otras que tengo en casa más grandes. Cortan muy bien y se les puede pedir un poco más de lo que indican, eso sí, para uso en casa.
