Fiskars PowerGear Pruner Lopper

This lopper is designed to cut branches up to 1.25 inches in diameter. It is best suited for small trees and shrubs rather than heavy-duty limb removal.

PowerGear technology uses a geared mechanism to multiply your force as you squeeze. This makes cutting through thicker stems feel significantly easier and requires less physical effort than standard non-geared pruners.

It is a hybrid tool. At 15 inches long, it offers more leverage than a standard hand pruner but is more compact than a full-sized lopper. It is ideal for reaching into dense shrubs or making quick cuts where a full-sized tool would be cumbersome.

A bypass mechanism works like a pair of scissors, with two blades passing by each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is the healthiest option for live, green plants because it minimizes damage to the stem and promotes faster healing.

The titanium coating is primarily designed to reduce friction, helping the blades glide through plant material smoothly. While it adds durability, you should still wipe the blades clean and dry them after use to prevent sap buildup and rust.
