Corona Tools | 32-inch Branch Cutter MAXFORGED Orchard Loppers | Tree Trimmer Cuts Branches up to 2 ¼-inches in Diameter | AL 8462, Red

We have bought quite a lot of loppers over the last 30 years and I loved these from the first cut. Nice balance, cuts clean with ease, not cumbersomely heavy, couldn't be more impressed and great price.

This is my second set of these exact loppers. The first pair lasted 11 years before they broke because of my abuse-I cut and twisted them trying to cut too large of a branch. I replaced them with the exact same model because they work very well. They are sharp/keep sharp, easy to leverage/use, long enough for reach and importantly light weight. I have another very well made, sturdy loppers of another brand that are heavy to use. I don't like to use them much because they are just too heavy to use overhead all the time. If you are up on a ladder trimming a tree, you don't want/need a heavy pair of loppers to add to your work. For me these Corona loppers are the perfect combination of size and weight. If I need to cut anything larger than these will cut, I use a pole saw or hand saw.

This thing is a beast! Cuts branches like butter. The only concern I have is regarding the hollow handles which seem a little on the thin side. Only time will tell if this thing will last

These loppers are surprisingly lightweight, and as easy to use as any with 32" handles could be, i.e. a little awkward. They appear to be well made and sturdy, but I haven't yet used them long enough to know how durable they will turn out to be. I think they will be, if they're used for their intended purpose. They're orchard loppers, not heavy-duty ones. They're designed to cut live branches up to perhaps 1/2" in diameter. And I wouldn't advise using them on hard, dead branches that large. I may be underestimating them, but when I use them to cut something that's too large or too hard, the handles flex in a way that's worrisome. If heavy-duty loppers are too heavy for you, trying using a small saw instead. I find a Bear Saw with a large-toothed blade very satisfactory for this purpose, and easier to use than a pruning saw. One last point that may be obvious--loppers with 32" handles are *not* very useful for cutting branches up close. I quickly learned to also carry a pair of short-handled shears with me when working with them!

OUTSTANDING by-pass-type lopper. Having SOLID handles instead of the sliding “adjustable length” handles makes for a very firm and confident feel. Blades slide smoothly - - with STRONG effort and 3 or 4 squeezes, it cut nicely through true 2-inch branches. Longer-than-most handles makes up for some of the fact that the blades are not articulated for leverage. [However, such longer handles are a disadvantage when cutting WITHIN dense branches or heavy overgrowth, because all those leaves and branches get in the way of fully opening the handles.] A REALLY GOOD BUILD.

I have used Corona loppers for years with excellent results. The cutting blades on this unit were bigger than my previous loppers. The handles were longer, too, which allowed for a lot of cutting force on the shrubs that I took down. Despite its size, the loppers are not heavy because of the tubular handles. I am satisfied with this purchase. The main thing that I will be on the lookout for is the longevity of the "bumpers". Typically that is the part that will give out first. For those of you who are wondering, the loppers were assembled in Mexico, with parts made in the USA, Taiwan, and Vietnam. So even though Corona is a US company, the loppers are 'Global'.

I used to work in a commercial orchard so I know and understand the value of a great pair of loppers. I wanted a wooden handled pair but I opted to try these aluminum ones instead since I only have a dozen trees and not hundreds like we used to do. So far these have proven to be great quality, lightweight and very sharp. I haven't cut anything too large yet so I am interested to see how the aluminum handles hold up with larger cuts.

Love it!

Todo bien

Cumple con la función material muy resistente .Las volvería a comprar .

Packaging wasn't good, but product is still great. Thrown in a box with nothing else to stop it from moving around.Wasn't happy with these at first, but I was using them wrong. It sounds dumb, but I didn't think there was a wrong way at first.The dull side cradles the branch while the blade moves to perform the cut. Do it the other way, and they're near useless.They are not good for dry dead branches and limbs. Fresh green and they cut smooth and perfect.Will likely never get rid of these or have to buy another set. They're as sturdy as it gets.

Firstly, I was initially reserved about the strength of the Alluminum arms on these Loppers. I would report, that their strength is of no concern, and they are more than up to the task. No flex, or bending at all, even when the unfortunate happened.Secondly, these are super light weight. When I picked up the shipping box, it felt almost empty. In the hand, the initial impression from the weight, is that they are going to struggle to cut anything. But in action, they are very very capable Loppers.The blade was very sharp; and the action and fitment against the anvil is very good. The blade only experienced some slight dulling, after a very solid afternoon of prunning. It still felt sharp, and was still cutting fine; and would easily return to original condition with a hone.The blade and anvil, did seem a bit thin initially. But, it was the lightness of the Loppers, along with the long length, that give this perception. They are more than up to the task (minus the tang that attaches to the arms). The pivot bolt kept everything very tight, no buckling or bending what so ever (even when the unfortunate happened).If the tang that inserts into the arms; was thicker (at least on the tension side), or oval shaped just like the arms, it would be less of a weak spot. But in saying that, looking at the surface where the tang broke; I wonder if I can see a bit of porosity in the metal, which might have made it weaker.When the Loppers let go, I was only commencing the cut, and hadn't even put full torque on it, so it was very surprising when it snapped. I was more shocked, to see that it hadn't snapped on the aluminium arms; especially since that's where I was expecting them to be the weakest.So, all up, I'd say these are great Loppers, but this pair was unlucky to have a flaw in the metal. A slight change in design, might reduce chances of porosity forming in the manufacturing process, or negate the impact if it does.

This product does everything it says it will. The weight of the loppers is nice and makes long use not as tedious
