FELCO 220 Two-Handed Bypass Lopper, Red, 1.57 Inches

Great quality, sharp and so easy to use. Worth the extra money.

I have bought and used Felco tools for years, always with great satisfaction. This is the largest lopper I have ever purchased. I am relieved and delighted to see how light this large powerful tool feels in my hands. It works with the usual Felco precision and excellence, and it cuts larger branches than I could handle before. This is an outstanding large powerful precise lopper that is easy to handle. Excellent in every way.

I'm completely impressed with how these slice through 1-2 inch limbs. I'm a 55 year old woman trying to bring an overgrown yard in my new house under control and this really does the trick quickly. I use a SunJoe on the 3-4 inch branches but they have to be stripped to get them in the can and it takes forever with the SunJoe because it doesn't like the flexible branches. This is also easier to get between the house\fence and the back of the bushes in order to clear 20 inches to keep the varmints from using the junipers as a ladder to the roof. Loved the suggestion to clean them after use with rubbing alcohol to keep them sharp. Works very well.

These loppers are truly awesome. Cut through one inch maple branches minimal force. The pivot bearing tightness is adjustable, so no more end-of-cut splintering. It's worth the extra money to buy a tool that will last decades and save time.

Definitely pricey (bought in 2020 for $175 not from Amazon though), but they are superb quality. I haven't used them as much as I'm sure some people have if they do landscaping for a job, but you'd be amazed how thick of a branch you can take down. If you can fit it in the jaws, and you're willing to put it a little extra work, it will take it down. I've even caused some major damage to the blade (probably from trying to cut stuff too close to a metal fence), and it basically didn't matter at all. I'm sure I can have the blade sharpener, and if all else fails, you can buy basically any replacement part if need be. It almost sounds like an advertisement at this point lol. But if you're willing to spend the extra money on the tool and potentially replacement parts far down the line, this tool will do anything you ask of it

It's a very high quality tool made in Switzerland with an extremely sharp blade that holds its edge. It makes pruning branches up to 2 inches a breeze. My only criticism is that it doesn't open as wide as I like.
