Wind blew down an 80' red oak. Gas chainsaw handled the trunk but these loppers and a smaller electric chainsaw were wonderful on the branches. Other loppers have big curved blades and are very efficient for a few large cuts. I had to make a few hundred cuts and make them quickly. These blades are relatively straight and allowed me to push in through think branches, cut, and come straight back out. You can also spread the handles very wide and push larger branches into the curved portion of the blades, but I mostly needed to cut a lot of smaller branches quickly. Very nice tool. Highly recommend.

These work very good and efficiently. As a woman with weak upper body strength, I had no issues cutting anything with these! It was nice to not struggle!

Better leverage for cutting than the smaller, cheaper loppers.

These shears will not cut. WORTHLESS.
