Fiskars 28" Power-Lever Bypass Loppers, 1.75" Cut Capacity — Hardened Stainless Blades, SoftGrip Handles

The Fiskars 28" Power-Lever Garden Bypass Lopper is a heavy-duty hand trimmer that uses compound leverage and hardened stainless-steel blades to cut live branches up to 1.75 inches with less effort and reduced blade gumming.

Built for homeowners who tackle pruning, shaping, and light tree maintenance, this Fiskars lopper combines Power-Lever technology with low-friction blade coating and SoftGrip handles to deliver cleaner cuts while minimizing hand fatigue. The 28-inch length offers reach and leverage for medium-diameter branches, and durable steel construction means the tool is built for regular yard work.

How does the Power-Lever system make cutting easier?

Power-Lever is a compound lever design that multiplies the force you apply at the handles, so each cut requires less hand strength than with simple bypass loppers. That mechanical advantage lets you cut through tougher, thicker live wood with more control and fewer attempts.

• Compound lever amplifies cutting force for reduced exertion.
• 28-inch handle length increases leverage for one-handed assist or two-handed control.
• Designed for branches up to 1.75" diameter with consistent performance.

What makes the blades better for live pruning?

This model uses fully hardened stainless-steel bypass blades that slice rather than crush, which helps produce cleaner wounds on living wood. A low-friction blade coating reduces sap buildup and rust risk, keeping cuts smooth and the tool operating reliably over many uses.

• Hardened stainless-steel resists dulling and holds an edge longer.
• Bypass action produces precise, clean cuts ideal for green growth.
• Low-friction coating minimizes gumming and protects against corrosion.

Are these loppers comfortable for extended use?

Yes — Fiskars designed the handles with ergonomic contours and SoftGrip touchpoints to cushion your hands and improve control. The rounded, non-slip grips reduce hotspots and slipping, so you can prune longer with less discomfort and better accuracy.

• SoftGrip pads dampen pressure on palms and fingers.
• Handle shape supports natural wrist alignment when cutting.
• Textured surface helps maintain a secure hold in damp conditions.

How durable are the Fiskars 28" Power-Lever loppers?

Constructed with hardened steel blades and sturdy steel handles, these loppers are built to withstand regular yard and garden use. Fiskars’ focus on materials and engineering yields a tool that keeps performing season after season with routine cleaning and sharpening as needed.

• Steel handles deliver strength and resistance to bending.
• Blade coating extends life by limiting rust and sap accumulation.
• Simple maintenance (wiping and occasional sharpening) preserves cutting performance.

Who is this for? Home gardeners, landscapers doing light-to-moderate pruning, and anyone who needs a reliable hand lopper for shaping shrubs and trimming small trees will find value in the Fiskars 28" Power-Lever Garden Bypass Lopper. It suits users who want a balance of reach, cutting power, and comfort without moving to a pole saw or powered tool. If you regularly trim branches up to 1.75 inches thick and prefer mechanical advantage plus ergonomic grips, this Fiskars model is designed to make those tasks easier and more consistent.
