STEELHEAD Heavy-Duty 27-40" Adjustable Gear-Bypass Limb & Branch Lopper, Telescoping Extendable Handles, Ratcheting, Cuts Up to 1-3/4”, Secateurs, Shock-Absorbing, Effort-Saving, USA-Based Support

Great construction. Cut branches thicker than shown with product. Mostly use them to cut out invasive trees, bushes, and blackberries. Just a bit heavier than I expected from the description. The description said they weighed a pound. They're easily 3 pounds. Not a deal-breaker. Still a good buy for a good product.

Top quality and works great!!!!

I was very pleasantly surprised by these hand shears. They are extremely well designed. They are lightweight, light enough to carry in one's pocket, yet they have super cutting ability. In fact they cut better than any other anvil style hand shears I've ever had, despite their light weight.Another nice touch is that they have a plastic tip on the end which protects one's pocket so that it does not become frayed when carrying the shears therein. They are sturdy and seem as though they will last a long time. They are very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

I like how they extend, and they do cut fairly easily. I am concerned about the durability of the handles. When I add pressure to cut a stubborn branch, I feel concern that the handle will break before the branch does. I don't know that it would, but they are so light weight that it seems they might.

After 3 years and 4 months, its finally time to replace these. I've used them nearly weekly, they've been rained on, and lightly abused cutting stuff way to big for what they were designed for. Well worth every penny.

I had hoped to get an adjustable and RATCHETING Loper. This advertises that it is all of the above. I like the loper and have enjoyed all aspects with the exception of the ratchet function. I have yet to get it to ratchet even one notch. Ha. I may have to call the factory. The ractchet mechanism appears to be there but on all my other ratcheting devices it simply senses the thickness factor and begins to ratchet on its own. This not so much. Never senses a thing. I love the extending handles and every other aspect of it but just no ratchet.

Don't let the small size fool you, they are lightweight , easy to use, and very sharp. Will cut through most shrubs and rose bushes for pruning.

Finally a tool as hard headed as I am. I've only had Fiskers, and now I know how hard I had been working. The one branch was 2 1/4 inches and I had to take a second cut due to tight space. These open wider than other loppers I've used, and cut more easily than any I've ever used, and have that extension which makes it cut with even less effort, and gives better reach. The aluminum body is nice, and the extension has 6 stops for different length handles.Seriously, don't buy Fiskers, buy these!
