Fiskars PowerGear2™ Lopper uses patented technology to multiply your leverage, providing up to 3x more power on every cut. The innovative design includes modified gears and a specially engineered cam mechanism that optimizes cutting power in the middle of the cut, where the branch is thickest and you need it most, ideal for pruning branches up to 2 in. thick. This lopper’s fully hardened, the bypass-style steel blade is enhanced with a low-friction coating for smooth cutting, less gumming, and rust protection, and the rounded ergonomic handles feature SoftGripTM for comfort and control.
