Expert Gardener Extendable 38 inches Steel Bypass Lopper, 3.5 lbs Assembled Weight

Reading some of the negative reviews I was a little skeptical to purchase these loopers. But I am sure glad I took the chance. They work perfectly for the main purpose I bought them for. We have several bushes and trees we need to trim often and any good looper will do. We already had two (different styles/sizes) but THIS one is EXPANDABLE and can extend to a long looper. That is exactly what we needed to trim our Pygmy Date Palm Tree. For those who don't know, the Pygmy Date Palm has LONG fronds with EXTREMELY SHARP THORNS. Those thorns are like needles and are about THREE INCHES LONG. Trimming a Pygmy Date Palm can be a very dangerous, hazardous and painful experience! Extend them out to cut the fronds WITHOUT getting stuck is what this expandable looper does. For that purpose, these expandable loopers do the trick perfectly. We highly recommend them.

Professional grade. I checked other stores and this price is the best. My old pruning tools were worn out so I needed to replace them. Glad I found this brand. I didn't want to pay a high price but wanted professional grade.

Cuts like butter! It is very sharp. I am able to cut branches from trees and bushes with ease. There are some thick ones too. It isn't heavy to hold. I can carry and cut for as long as I need. The handles are comfortable on the hands. It has an extender that allow for higher cuts. It pulls right out. Overall a great product.

Very stout pair of brush shears. They option to extend out the shears to get at those hard to reach areas is a plus. These shears made quick and clean work of an old rose bush we needed to remove. It easily cut thru 2 inch thick base branches as it did the smallest ones. The extension feature gave great leverage.

I own many Expert Gardening items and I have always been impressed with the quality and this looper is no exception. I am a 68-year-old grandmother, and I can handle this looper. I normally have tree suckers everywhere and this looper makes quick work of them. This looper is not so heavy that I can't handle it, but strong enough to be an effective cutting tool. I am not strong enough to try and cut a really big sucker or branch, so I can't attest to how thick this will cut, but it does what I need. I really appreciate that it comes with a plastic removal cover for the cutters that I think will help keep them clean and protected. I really like this tool and with my experience with the Expert brand, I am sure it will last a very long time.

These gardening trimmers are great. The blades are very sharp, they cut through small branches very smoothly. I love how you can adjust the handles to go longer or shorter. There is 6 different notches to have the handles at 6 different lengths. Each notch is about 2 inches apart. So basically they can expand up to a foot longer. Each notch locks the handle into place.

It cuts like butter really it's easy it's adjustable. It's definitely doable. I should've bought these years ago.

This lopper is a great tool for trimming twigs and small branches. It extends easily and locks in to the desired length. It's sharp and goes through small branches easily. The only downside is it is a bit bulkier than I expected it would be. But it works well and is a good value.

They're hard to handle and to heavy for me. I'm 67 and I guess I should of purchase something that wasn't so hard to handel. I thought I could do it. . I still have yard work to do... These loppers were designed for someone with strength in there upper arms and that I don't have. but, that being said, they are made well . A great deal , and well worth it. I have passed them on to a more able person. They were very happy to receive them.

This product would be good if the handles stayed locked. Instead they slide all over the place with a defective locking mechanism. Imagine standing on a ladder %26 having the handles sliding longer %26 shorter impacting your center of gravity. Not safe for use. Unfortunately my return window has closed, so I'm stuck with this purchase. I can count the number of times I've used this on one hand. Zero stars.
