The Fiskars 32" PowerGear2 Bypass Lopper uses patented PowerGear2 technology to multiply your leverage, delivering up to 3x more cutting power than standard single-pivot loppers — making light work of branches up to 2" in diameter. The innovative gear-and-cam mechanism concentrates maximum force in the middle of the cut, right where the branch is thickest and resistance is greatest.
The fully hardened, bypass-style steel blade is designed for clean cuts on living green growth and features a low-friction, non-stick coating that reduces friction, minimizes gumming, and protects against rust. Lightweight aluminum handles with comfortable Softgrip® ergonomic cushioning keep fatigue to a minimum during extended use. Backed by Fiskars' lifetime warranty.

What is the maximum branch diameter this lopper can cut?
The Fiskars 32" PowerGear2 Bypass Lopper is rated to cut branches up to 2 inches in diameter.
For branches larger than 2", a pruning saw such as the Fiskars Fixed Handle Pruning Saw is recommended.
What is the difference between a bypass lopper and an anvil lopper?
A bypass lopper uses two blades that pass each other like scissors, producing a clean, precise cut ideal for living green wood. An anvil lopper uses a single blade that closes against a flat plate, which can crush softer stems.
For trimming healthy, living shrubs and trees, a bypass design like this one is almost always the better choice.
How do I keep the blade sharp and clean?
Wipe the blade clean after each use and periodically sharpen it with the Fiskars Blade Sharpener to maintain peak cutting performance.
The non-stick coating helps reduce sap buildup, but a quick wipe with a clean cloth after pruning resinous plants goes a long way.
