I had some old loppers that I was using to try and deforest a small corner of London. An alleyway, giving access to my garage, was in danger of becoming overgrown with brambles, nettles and tree branches. The local council were no help so I took up arms to rid the alleyway of the encroaching vegetation. The old loppers were not helping, with their lack of sharpness and inability to cut cleanly through anything. A solution was required. Having a number of Fiskars tools in the shed, I chose the newest, most powerful looking loppers on the Fiskars website. Upon their arrival I took to the alleyway, loppers in hand. A few hours later the devastation was complete. Nothing stood up to the awesome power of the Fiskars PowerGear X Lopper Anvil. Tree branches as wide as 4-5 cms., and everything else, were cut in two with ease. I surveyed the now clear alleyway with pride and, with the loppers raised in triumph, returned to my home, knowing that this task had been completed and that I wouldn't have to do it again for several months.
Really good loppers I had the cheaper version of these with the composite handles and found after a while they blunted and wouldn't cut all the way through. No problems with these well made really sharpe I work as a gardener and would definitely recommend these really happy with them.
