Buy Fiskars 15 in PowerGear Anvil Lopper – Geared Compact Lopper, 1.25 in Cut, Lifetime Warranty

Description

Short loppers have a real place in the shed. They fit inside shrubs, travel in a tote, and give you control for the close cuts where a 32 inch tool feels clumsy. The fiskars 15 inch powergear lopper is the strongest of them. Its patented gear technology multiplies your leverage to give up to three times the power of a traditional tool of its size, on an anvil head rated at 1.25 inches. The body is Fiskars’ DuraFrame construction, strong and light at just 14.4 oz, and the design carries the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use commendation.

Key Features

PowerGear geared head

The gear system adds power through the cut, so a 15 inch tool closes on branches that would normally need a full size lopper. It is the same idea as the 32 inch PowerGear2, scaled down for close work.

Anvil head for dry and woody growth

The blade closes onto a flat anvil, the right pattern for dead, dry and woody material at this size: shrub renovation, cut to length work and clearing inside beds. Keep live, healing cuts for a bypass tool.

Just 14.4 oz

At about 0.9 lb this is the lightest lopper in our roundup by a wide margin. It works one handed, hangs from a belt or tote, and suits gardeners with weaker grip strength, helped by the gearing.

Replaceable blade, lifetime warranty

The fully hardened steel blade is replaceable, the low friction coating resists sap and rust, and Fiskars covers the tool with a lifetime warranty in US listings.

Product Description

The Fiskars 15 in PowerGear Super Pruner/Lopper (model 79726997J) is a compact anvil lopper for small shrubs, container plants and tight corners of the garden. Its 1.25 inch capacity and 15 inch frame define the role honestly: this is a small shrub tool, not a thick branch tool, and leverage is limited by handle length no matter what the gears add.

Owner feedback lines up with the design. The Ease of Use commendation reflects real reports from gardeners with arthritis and weak hands who can still complete cuts with it. If most of your work is over 1.25 inches, step up to the 32 inch PowerGear2; if your work is close, small and frequent, this is the tool that gets used daily.

Benefits of Using This Product

• Geared power in a 15 in frame for close work
• Lightest pick in the roundup at about 0.9 lb
• Arthritis Foundation Ease of Use commendation

How to Use

Work close: seat the branch on the anvil, centred under the blade, and squeeze. The gearing does the hard part in the middle of the cut. Save it for dry and woody growth up to 1.25 inches, and use a bypass lopper for live cuts the plant will heal from.

Fiskars 15 Inch PowerGear Lopper: Care and Storage

Care for a fiskars 15 inch powergear lopper in minutes. Wipe the blade after use, dry the head, and put a drop of oil on the gear and pivot now and then. Sharpen the anvil blade straight across its edge, and replace the blade when it is nicked or worn: replacements are listed for this model, which is rare at this size. Stored dry in a tote or on a hook, a fiskars 15 inch powergear lopper stays ready for the small daily jobs it was bought for.

Why Choose the Fiskars 15 Inch PowerGear Lopper?

Choose the fiskars 15 inch powergear lopper as your compact second tool: the one that lives in the tote, handles shrub work at arm’s length, and asks very little of your hands. It does not replace a full size lopper, and beside one, it completes the kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
