Fiskars Power Gear 32" Bypass Lopper

Fisker's Power Gear 32 Inch Bypass Lopper is a potent cutting tool that is durable, powerful, and ergonomic, designed to cut through hard branches with ease. It has patented gear technology that provides up to 3X greater cutting power than a traditional lopper, and the precision-designed bypass blades produce clean, healthy cuts.

Applications

Fiskars PowerGear 2 Lopper can be used when performing routine maintenance tasks or when you have demanding projects:

• Tree Maintenance: Thinned out, overgrown, or crossing branches for better structure and sunlight entry.
• Shrub and Hedge Trimming: Trim hedges and pretty shrubs with the bare minimum effort.
• Prune Fruits: Cull branches to help promote airflow and produce as much healthy fruit as possible.
• Seasonal Yard Work: Pruning overgrowth in the spring, in autumn or cleaning after storms.
• Professional Landscaping: Its stability and performance make it conducive to the day-in-day-out activities of commercial gardening and maintenance workforces.

How to Use

Easy procedures mean safe, successful, and accurate cuts in all cases.

1. Identify the Branch: Select the branch you wish to cut, preferably not more than 2 inches.
2. Position the Lopper: The Lopper must be installed around the branch by placing the bypass blades around the branch with the handles opened.
3. Grip the Handles: Aim to hold both handles with your hands on the cushioned touchpoints.
4. Engage the Cut: Press the handles together with a consistent motion and let the gears work hard on your behalf.
5. Complete the Cut: Have the blade pass straight through without twisting or jerking.
6. Care after use: Blades should be wiped clean, removing sap or debris, and stored in a dry place.

Usage Tips

• Apply bypass loppers in this way to green or living wood; an anvil lopper can be more effective with dry or dead branches.
• Cut near the trunk, or main stem, at a slight angle to promote faster healing.
• Use the leverage of the long handles, have your hands at the ends, in order to cut as much as you can.
• Overcuts that exceed the 2-inch recommendation should also be avoided, as they would reduce the sharpness of the blades.
• A blade must be sharpened regularly to ensure accuracy.
• Apply some oil after cleaning to provide additional rust protection.
• Put the tool away when not in use, but keep it indoors, even though the coating does not rust easily.

Pros and Cons

Each tool has advantages and disadvantages; here is a straightforward list to aid you in choosing.

Pros
