Stanley Garden BDS6324 FATMAX Griphook Bypass Lopper, Black

I was hoping this would do the job of my previous loppers with a curved titanium blade, but is so much better with mechanical leverage. Feels solid in hand, balanced well, and more importantly, cuts shooters and small branches around 2” diameter for me. Smaller branches are clearly easier over time, so work with your body to maintain a workflow, and use the tools that help; this one definitely does.

I have been using these loppers to cut fence-lines and trails in the pasture. It cuts cedar like butter. The cutting blade is very easy to sharpen with a rasp. The longer handle means less stooping and bending over and a higher reach up into trees. I did have to tighten the screws to hold the handle end on. I've owned loppers for over 30 years, these are my favorite. They also have a lifetime guaranty.

Would be 5 stars but the max cutting capacity in the ad was stated @ 2" but the packaging on the product lists the max cutting capacity @ 1.5" which unfortunately is a big difference. Also the photos make it look like the handles are one continous piece of metal running throughout up to the cutting head but they actually are bolted together with the cutting head. Very comfortable to use, the hook shaped jaws grab and hold onto the branch being cut which eliminates slippage. The gearing mechanism when combined with the sharp cutting face make cutting into even the hardest wood relatively easy.

This is a great product. I’ve purchased three of them now over the years. All are still in service. Very durable and retain their sharpness. Blades do not become unaligned, as has occurred with other brands of loppers.

I love this product. Slices through branches like butter.

The best snippers you'll ever use.

Awesome chopper!

Best loppers ever
