Gnome 25" Garden Power Gear Bypass Hand Loppers | Branch Cutters Trimmers Pruners - Best in Class Carbon Steel Blades | Gear Action | Heavy Duty Soft Grip Handle.

Strong for clipping branches and small trees!

Very good purchase with convenience

The blades are sharp and cut branches easily. Little awkward to get fit on branch, but then very easy to cut. Liked them so well bought a second pair so we can both use and save time. Would recommend. Came with protective plastic over blades and boxed well.

this product is very easy for me to use. I have been able to take on some pretty big branches and trimming of my trees/ best investment I have made this year

A tiny bit stiff to use, but worked with it 3 times. The 3rd time the blade broke in half on a 1/2 inch branch...something I could probably cut with strong scissors. Not thrilled with losing this so dang soon!!!

Bought these loppers specifically to cut smaller items. I have a couple of pairs of Fiskars that are over 15 years old, and still cut. The problem I have with the Fiskars are, they last so long, that the cutting blade keeps getting smaller and smaller every time you sharpen them. Given time they no longer overlap enough to completely go entirely through smaller branches. So, I bought these Gnome loppers, just to use on smaller branches. I had a big smile on my face the first time I tried them. They went cleanly though smaller items like butter. Then last week the cutting blade snapped right off cutting a branch much smaller in diameter than the 1.25" (label indicates that on the handle) it is rated for. More like .25". Unless you want to replace them every couple of months, or just want to use them to prune Aunt Edna's rose bushes, I would not recommend them to anyone. It appears to me, they are only good enough for items so small, that you might as well just use little hand pruners on.

Great Garden Lopper - Wish it was bigger but great for the price and it is sharp.

You have to spread the handles so far to get a gap in the cutting area that this tool can be worthless if you're working in a tight space. Never seen one like this where the ratio of how far you have to spread handles is so far off how far the blades open up.
