I chose this lopper because of its 2" branch capacity and "Power-Lever" action, and I'm generally quite pleased with it. The fiberglass handles make it very lightweight, and it rarely has problems cutting anything that will fit within the blades. My only gripe is that you really have to extend the handles before you can fully open the blades, and this can sometimes limit your ability to get to certain branches. This is to be expected with any lever system, though the power benefit outweighs this complaint. Overall, this was a great deal through Amazon.

This item does a fine cutting job on up to at least 4 inch thick brush. The blade is very sharp and cuts through well. I am a woman and find it a little difficult due to the weight and necessity to open the handles to their fullest extent in order to make cuts. It becomes very tiring when working for a long time.

I do recommend it for thick brush due to the cutting abilty of the blade.

Very easy to use with it's Power Lever. I cut 2 inch branch with little effort. Very sharp blade! This one is a keeper!!!

Very good easy to use lopper. Handles wider branches & does not jam.

I really do love the new nipper, it far outshines the old one that we thought was pretty good. A neighbor had purchased a Fiskars and really liked it, he gave it to us to try, which convinced us that we needed on as well.

I have owned many Fiskars products over the years and all of them have been of consistently high quality. Except for this one.

The third time I used it the bolt on the floating axis on the lower lever popped out. I reattached it but on further inspection I determined that it will soon pop out again.

What I think happened here is that somewhere in the manufacturing process somebody did not install all the parts they were supposed to. Otherwise this unit is of very high quality.

I gave this two stars because if mine had all it's parts it would be the perfect lopper.

At first glance the lopper looked like a great tool. It is constantly coming apart where the floating axis hooks in the sliding slot. I'd recommend getting the other lopper for heavier work.
