Work Great on Palm Fronds:
I've been using a 20 yr old pair of loppers I bought at a hardware store. While they work OK (with some muscle), they do not have the power gear assist for cutting through 1" - 2 1/2" branches of the palm tress around my house. These make quick work of trimming my palms.

Fiskars power shears are great:
The power loppers are a pleasure to use. They ARE powerful and the cut is smooth. I'd recommend them to anyone.

just what I needed:
I live on 3 acres mostly woods. These loppers are a real time and arm saver. They cut throught most any limb with very little effort. My 8 year old son even uses them, under dad's watchful eyes. In short the work great . I am very happy with them.

Outstanding tool:
I have a shrub-pruning business, and rely on my Felco PowerGear loppers for cuts too big for my pruning clippers and too small for a saw. These are absolutely the best loppers I know of; they cut through live or dead wood as if they were cutting through butter. Their one drawback is that I can't take them apart to clean and sharpen them, and have to do so in one somewhat unwieldy piece, taking extra care with my sharpening stone. Because they hold an edge very well, though, and are such a great cutting tool, I'm willing to put up with the inconvenience.
