FELCO F21 Swiss Made Loppers for Gardening – 24.8" Heavy Duty Loppers for Tree Trimming | Tree Branch Cutters | Tree Trimmer Tool with Replaceable Carbon Steel Blade, Forged Handles Made for Life

These + a pair of Felco classic pruners I purchased new in April & May. They are are well worth the money. Tomorrow is Halloween & I've been using them a LOT to aggressively thin and remove a lot of overgrowth from a neglected back yard. I had already ruined my old Fiscars. These Felcos are more expensive, but buying them once is way less expensive than buying cheaper ones over and over. They're stronger, too, much easier on my body and less time consuming to use. I'm taking down trash trees and overgrown privet with a small chain saw, then using these to cut and trim 1- 2" limbs for my wood chipper. Sometimes, I've had to lay them on the ground and push down with both hands to cut thru. Unlike with other loppers I've used, the only limiting factor with Felco, besides the appropriate size limb, is my own human strength.

I've been using Felco pruning shears for years, they are the absolute best. I got tired of blowing through the Fiskars loppers and discovered Felco makes a Lopper too! These things are built to last! Purchased the longer version too

As always, so so happy with the quality... I've worked in metal manufacturing before, it is unbelievable these are available at this price. Felco makes the best blades, and the best "joints" where the blades are held together, I've personally never had to tighten anything felco makes, and the blades, even when worn down, are still so functional you could argue you would never have to sharpen the blades. Having the blades resharpened is just cream on top of the cake. I wish Felco made more products...

A good tool - sturdy and functional. Swiss quality is expensive, but IMHO worth the price.

Felco does it right. They last. They are durable. And the cut is sharp.

These are a workhorse! And half the price ($87 when I purchased spring of ‘24) than my local hardware store

I bought the pull cut blade loppers because they looked like they would give me a better cut than the straight blade that the other loppers and hand pruners offer. After the first use I’m finding that to not be true. It seems you have to work a little bit harder to make certain cuts than you would have to on the other type of blade. I bought the smaller handles so they would fit into my tote box Easier. If I had to do over again, I would spend a little bit more and get a little bit longer handles and the straight cut blade option.
