Review on Fiskars 28 Inch Bypass Lopper, Model 391461-1003 by Mark Young

Broken on FIRST use. On the fourth blow, the hilt snapped off the blade. Didn't even cut anything big. It was a branch of a tree, maybe an inch in diameter. Bought these because of the good brand and reviews. Suggests this is a manufacturing defect. A dark spot appeared at the edge where it broke. As if there was an air bubble or something when pouring into the mold (just a guess. Haven't researched how they are made). I'll add a photo of the damage later. UPDATE: Claiming the warranty was very easy. Upgrading my rating from one to three stars. All I did was visit their website, submit the photos and viola I provided. They sent me a new pair. Arrived Thursday (December 17, 2015). I never had to call anyone. I've used them today and they seem reliable, but I'll write back if I find the new pair doesn't work either.
