Compact Duralight™ Lopper

The “Gear Amplified Cutting” mechanism on the Woodland Tools Mini Loppers really works! I was actually able to cut branches thicker than 1¼ inches, so I’m impressed and pleased with the functionality of the loppers. For thicker branches, I placed the loppers on the ground, pushing down with the arm that has the gear side. I did scratch some of the proprietary Onyx coating off the blades in my very first use, but I’m not sure if that’s because I was cutting branches thicker than the loppers are supposed to handle. The blades are sharp; all of the cuts were clean. The loppers are lightweight, which is a big plus for me. I have a huge yard, so I’d rather save my energy for using the tool rather than carrying a heavy one around. The blades do not have a locking mechanism.

Minimal effort to cut through thick branches.

Surprisingly light for such a sturdy tool. I love that it has a lifetime guarantee, how often do we see that these days? I can’t imagine ever needing another lopper. I purchased it to trim my Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree that’s become a bit top heavy. This is probably waaaay more lopper than my FLF needs but I’m glad it’ll be a smooth cut so I can propagate the cutting.

Not only do these work amazingly, they're pretty fun to use. Anything we've tried them on they cut through like butter. It takes a little more effort when stuff is nearing their limit, but up to about .75" you don't even notice is there. They are almost completely plastic (except the blade) which makes them super light. Hopefully they're durable in the long term. Currently I don't have any concerns about durability and they are held together with bolts so they can be tightened in the future if need be. If you're doing any yardwork where you might need to cut bushes or tree branches, you need these!

I have had a lot of pruning shears/loppers and these bad boys are top notch. These fit comfortably in your hands. They are lightweight and would be great for campers. They are part plastic but don't let that turn you away. The design of these makes cutting branches a breeze and boy are they sharp! We cut down a leggy tree today and I used these to trim off all the little branches. They didn't struggle one bit and cut super smooth. I was done in no time! I'd buy everything this company makes! Highly recommended!

From the pictures I would have sworn that these were the same size as the full size loppers that I currently have in my shed. So I didn't know what to expect as far as performance when I pulled them out of the box and saw that they were smaller. Well, I am here to tell you that because of the gear mechanism on the head these have 3x the strength than my larger set of loppers! They are very commercial grade and have an insanely strong build. The blade is very sharp, the handles feel good in your hand, and these can cut 1 1/4" saplings or tree limbs like butter. I love that they have holes in the end of the handles for hanging up when not in use. Also because they are smaller they are much more convenient to haul around. These loppers are guaranteed for life, and the blade has a special onyx coating. They are very strong but lightweight and you don't get fatigued after using them for several hours.
