Fiskars UltraBlade PowerGear 2 Bypass Lopper

While the exact cutting capacity depends on the wood density, the PowerGear 2 technology and 32-inch length are designed to handle thick, woody branches that would be difficult to cut with standard bypass loppers.

The patented gear mechanism amplifies your leverage, providing up to 3.2 times more cutting power than traditional loppers. This allows you to exert less physical effort while achieving a clean cut through tougher stems.

Yes, the handles are designed with an ergonomic, rounded shape and Softgrip material to provide a comfortable, secure hold for users of all hand sizes. The tool is also ambidextrous, making it easy to use regardless of your dominant hand.

The UltraBlade coating helps the blade stay sharp five times longer than standard blades and provides significant rust resistance. While the coating is durable, you should still wipe the blades clean after use and keep them dry to ensure longevity.

At 2.65 lbs, the lopper is constructed from durable steel, which provides a sturdy feel without being overly cumbersome. The ergonomic handle design is specifically intended to reduce hand fatigue during extended pruning sessions.

Bypass blades work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for live, green growth because it minimizes damage to the plant tissue and promotes faster healing.
