Fiskars PowerGear2 Lopper Review: Right for Our Shop?
In our shop, loppers have to earn their hook on the wall. The Fiskars 32” PowerGear2 Garden Bypass Loppers promise a 2" cut capacity and extra leverage through their gear-driven design, so we put them to work where it counts: stubborn branches, tight angles, and long pruning sessions that usually leave our hands complaining. The 32-inch length gives us reach without feeling unwieldy, and the bypass blade style makes cleaner cuts on live wood than the anvil types we reserve for dead limbs. Still, “2 inches” can be an optimistic number depending on the species and moisture. In the sections ahead, we’ll break down how they handled real workloads—and whether they belong in our regular rotation.
Fiskars Folding Saw & Pruner Review: Our Shop Fit?
In our shop, pruning tools live a hard life—sticky sap, tight angles, and the occasional “just one more branch.” That’s why the Fiskars Folding Saw & Pruner Set caught our eye. On the pruner side, the bypass shears feel built for clean, controlled cuts, and the low-friction coated steel blade glides through green stems without fighting back. The folding saw brings a different kind of confidence: its Power Tooth triple grind blade bites quickly, tracks straight, and folds down neatly when we’re moving between beds or tossing gear into a tote. Still, a combo set has to earn its keep. In this review, we’ll see whether these two tools truly complement each other—or simply share the same packaging.
