About Fiskars 15" PowerGear Super Pruner/Garden Lopper
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
83% praised for its sharp cutting performance, while 17% found it dull
I am surprised and disappointed that the blade is easily nicked, as I expected a stronger metal.
81% appreciated the long-lasting blade, though 19% experienced wear and tear
After a few hours of light use in the woods, the cutting edge got damaged.
I am surprised and disappointed that the blade is easily knicked. I expected it to be made of stronger metal.
I had to stop cutting because the tool was often unusable and the handle was going to bend way too much and would have broken.
The gear tooth is made of fiber enforced plastic and may not withstand heavy use.
85% found it easy to use, but 15% found it difficult
These hand-loppers are light and easy to use, even for me. The gear reduction at the jaws helps reduce the strength needed to cut, and they are light enough they dont wear me out.
The extension setting of the tool doesn't stay in place while in use, which is a major inconvenience.
72% liked the comfortable grip and ergonomic design, but 28% found it uncomfortable
For the comfort of the handles, we have given the second star.
I have a constant problem with the handles unlocking with every chop, indicating that the grip comfort of the hand-loppers is not good.
While trimming palm trees on a ladder, the handles kept coming unlocked and sliding around, making it very dangerous to use.
84% appreciated its lightweight and portable design, though 16% found it bulky
I tend to give 5 star ratings to items that stand out above and beyond others I have used. These come close to that, but I will give them 4-1/2 stars because over time the little bolts that hold the blades will loosen and require tightening every once in a while.
66% praised for its built-in safety features, although 34% found them inadequate
The handles of my hand-loppers kept coming unlocked and sliding around while trimming palm trees on a ladder, making it very dangerous. I almost fell off the ladder a few times before giving up and buying new ones.
