Review on 🌳 Fiskars PowerGear2 394801-1003 Bypass Lopper - 32 Inch - Black/Orange by Affan Yeo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Yes, they're good at cutting but, and that's a big but.

These 32 inch Fiskars PowerGear2 pruning shears are great for chopping branches that you have already cut and is probably great if you already have nicely manicured trees, shrubs, hedges etc. Your branches MUST be very easily accessible - within an arm's length of a normal person and along the perimeter of hedges, bushes, trees etc. the area between you and the branches you wish to cut, then you don't mind how far You'll have to open the handles - nearly the full 64-inch width, or you'll have to wiggle the heavy end of the pruner - the blades. until the broken branch is hooked onto a giant hook at the end of a black blade so it can be cut. Trust me I've wanted and tried to love these nice looking long pruning shears but after a day of frustration trying to reach and trim the inner and crossing branches of our tangled trees and bushes they sadly just cut Not. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Unfortunately, these pruning shears are not suitable for unkempt greenery, so I am sending them back. I'm sure it takes more effort with standard loppers, but hopefully I'll be able to get more branches to unhook.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Clarity
