Best Hand Loppers of 2025

"As an outdoor enthusiast, I was looking for a serious cutter and found the Fiskars Model 9154. I was pleasantly surprised by its performance; it cuts through 2-inch saplings effortlessly. The metal gear-driven cutting head is a game changer, and I can't believe I waited so long to try this tool!"

"I love my Fiskars pruners. After years of low-quality tools, I finally tried a Fiskars axe and was sold. These pruners handle thicker branches than expected. Just remember, use them correctly without twisting, and they'll last for years!"

"These loppers are surprisingly strong for their weight! I bought them for my daughter, and she finds them easy to use. The gear reduction makes cutting feel effortless, although I do need to tighten the bolts every now and then. Overall, I think they're fantastic for the price!"

"After battling with inferior loppers, I finally decided on Tabor Tools. I wish I had made this choice sooner! They are incredibly sharp and make quick work of smaller branches."

"This anvil lopper has been a game-changer for me. I've cleared over 1,600 trees! If it can grab the trunk, it cuts through with ease. I keep it well-maintained, and it continues to perform excellently."

"These loppers are solidly built and make pruning a breeze. However, my wife finds them a bit heavy for long sessions. Still, the blade quality is impressive, and they hold up well."

"I recently bought the AIRAJ 27-41'' Extendable Anvil Loppers, and I couldn't be happier. The extendable feature is fantastic! I can reach high branches without a ladder, making trimming much safer and more convenient. These loppers are incredibly sharp; they slice through branches like a hot knife through butter. It’s a real arm-saver! The build quality feels solid, and I'm confident they'll last for many seasons. Highly recommended!"

"After using this product three times, I find it cuts through smaller branches really well. It is a little heavier but very easy to use. Plus, it came with an extra blade, so I'm set for future use!"

"This is absolutely the worst product. I tried to cut an inch sapling pine tree, and the blades bent in two directions. It is just the worst. I'd never recommend this to anybody."

"I was searching for a simple, reliable pair of loppers at a reasonable price, and these work just fine. They’re slightly longer than my last pair, making it easier to cut bigger branches. If they hold an edge after sharpening, I’ll be happy to get 5 years of use out of them."

"These loppers are fantastic! They cut smoothly with little effort. I plan to purchase another pair soon, as I use all Corona brand loppers in my pruning business."

"I bought these to tackle invasive Honeysuckle in Cincinnati. I’ve really put them to the test while clearing trails, and despite some rough use, they've held up well. For regular home use, I have no doubt they will last a long time."

"I was pleasantly surprised by these hand shears. They're extremely well designed and lightweight, making them easy to carry. They cut better than any other anvil style shears I've owned. The plastic tip on the end protects my pocket, and I feel they will last a long time. Very reasonably priced and highly recommended!"

"After over three years of regular use, it's finally time to replace these. I've used them nearly weekly and they've held up well despite being rained on and cutting materials that were a bit too big for them. Well worth every penny!"

"These loppers really surprised me! They cut big branches easily, but I did find them a bit difficult to maneuver when cutting the tops of tall hedges. It requires some core and upper body strength in the extended position, but overall they did a fantastic job."

"I really appreciate the sharpness of these loppers. They helped me trim the shrubs around my house, and I love that the handles can be adjusted easily. My shrubs have never looked better after a nice spring trim. The high-quality metal construction and the green color of the handles are also great!"

"I found these loppers to be of average quality, but they do the job. They make clean cuts on branches up to an inch without much effort. However, I noticed they came with a lot of lubricant on the blades, which was a bit messy."

"I was really excited to use these loppers, but unfortunately, I had a bad experience. The handle broke when I tried to cut a slimmer branch, and I ended up smashing my fingers. I would not recommend them to anyone."

"I find these branch clippers to be the perfect size. The blades are sharp and they work perfectly. They also store easily."

"After a year of use, these clippers have stayed sharp and continue to perform well. I'm happy with my purchase!"

"When I needed to clear some dead trees, I looked for a cutter with serrated jaws to trap the branches. These have worked like a charm, cutting through larger branches than I expected. The blade remains sharp when kept oiled and handled with care."

"I found the loppers to work great on cutting dead branches and various limbs. The quality is excellent, and they are the perfect size for my needs. I'd definitely purchase again!"

"With over 800 citrus trees, I spend a lot of time pruning. These loppers are professional grade and can make thousands of cuts with ease. I've been satisfied with their consistent quality over the years."

"Living on 14 acres means a lot of work. My previous trimmer lasted 14 years, and I was thrilled to see that Corona still makes the same model. I would stake my life on its performance."

"These are very lightweight and functional. Each handle is adjustable. I haven't had much of a problem with cutting things, so they're decently sharp. My 16-year-old son uses them with ease."

"I've used tools with extendable handles before that would loosen, but these stay tight. The blades are heavy-duty and sharp; they cut through thumb-sized green wood easily. However, I wouldn't try them on anything larger, like a 2-inch hickory branch. If used as intended, they're quite satisfying. Collapsible handles make for easy storage. I would definitely buy these again; they're worth the money!"

"This tool is sharp and very usable. My only downside is that I’m tall and wanted the handles to extend a bit further, but I'll manage."

"I was genuinely surprised at how well these cut branches. After unpacking, I immediately took them to my yard and tested them. They handled increasingly thicker branches effortlessly. These loppers have replaced my chainsaw for cleaning up in my yard. It's worth noting that the ratcheting action makes them function differently than regular loppers; you need to fully open the handles and crank them several times for thicker branches. For smaller branches, I found a pair of traditional bypass loppers more effective."

"I bought this lopper to tackle some fallen limbs after a storm. It worked really well! However, I've had to reposition the blade a few times and open the cutting head wider for the ratchet action to reset properly, which is mainly my fault for being too hasty. It's important not to twist the tool or force it through a branch, as this might cause damage. Overall, this is a solid heavy-duty tool that I think will last a long time if used properly."

"I've been using these loppers for two full seasons, and they still feel like new. They are well made and bombproof. The extendable handles give me excellent leverage, and the ratchet feature is incredibly strong. I've tackled oak and maple limbs without any issues. This tool definitely deserves five stars!"
