Here is something you might not know about Fiskars though. Their PowerGear Tools are the first and currently the only pruning tools with the Ease of Use Commendation from The Arthritis Foundation. They have been thoroughly tested to make sure that they are not only easy to use for people with arthritis, but everyone.
The Fiskars Lopper that I received to review was an 18″ PowerGear Lopper. It uses a patented gear technology that multiples your leverage and allows you more power to cut. This helps a lot on cutting through the more thick branches and mini stumps we have from our “fence”, which is actually a bunch of twisted trees that grow through a wired fence. Some of the trees get a little unruly and try to extend up into the apple trees in our yard and we have to trim them down.
