Title: Power Gear Lopper
Broadcast: 31st October 2015
Presenter: Kim Syrus

When it comes to cutting branches, one of the most common things we do is over estimate how big a branch we can cut with our secateurs. And while you might eventually get the branch cut, it’s the damage to your snips that’s the problem.

• The extra pressure you apply puts an enormous strain on the mechanism and that’s definitely not good a good thing.
• Loppers, like these Fiskar PowerGear Loppers are designed to cut through bigger branches thanks to simple physics.
• The longer handle provides a larger force to make the cut.  Hook the branch well into the cutting blade and close.
• If you are looking to buy a pair of loppers then these PowerGear Loppers are well worth considering. The FiberComp™ handles make the tool extremely lightweight and strong while the SoftGrip™ covered handles are so comfortable plus the patented mechanism makes cutting branches up to 55mm thick, even easier.
