Fiskars Power Gear 2 Lopper with Titanium Blade
Fiskars’ loppers multiply leverage to give you up to three times more power on every cut, cutting through thick branches easily. The fully hardened steel blade stays sharp; even through heavy use. The blade also features a low-friction coating, which helps the blade glide through wood, prevents it from gumming up with sap and debris and resists rust.

Another great option for loppers are the PRO XL Loppers by Radius. The “XL” in the name stands for Extended Length and Extra Leverage. Either way, this long-handled lopper make it very easy to cut through larger branches.
