Fiskars PowerGear Anvil Lopper

An anvil lopper features a single sharp blade that closes against a flat bottom plate, similar to a knife on a cutting board. This design is specifically optimized for cutting through dry, dead, or woody stems, whereas bypass loppers are better suited for clean cuts on live, green growth.

The PowerGear mechanism uses a geared gear-and-lever system to multiply your cutting force by up to three times. This allows you to cut through thicker branches with significantly less physical effort than a standard lopper.

Yes. This model has received the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation for its ergonomic design, which minimizes strain on the hands and wrists during repetitive pruning tasks.

These loppers have a cutting capacity of 1.5 inches. Attempting to cut branches larger than this may damage the blade or the gear mechanism.

The blades are coated with a non-stick, corrosion-resistant finish, but you should still wipe them clean after each use to remove sap and debris. If the blades become dull over time, they can be sharpened with a standard sharpening tool to maintain their precision.

FiberComp is a proprietary blend of fiberglass and nylon that is engineered to be both exceptionally lightweight and highly durable. It is designed to withstand the rigors of regular gardening without the weight or corrosion issues associated with traditional metal handles.
