Spectacular [Posted on 2002-07-07]
If you need loppers and are balking at the price of these, consider the fact you will buy many of the other kind just to match the durability of these.

When I got these, I had gone through several pairs of both steel and wood handled ones. A friend of mine says these are exactly what they use at work... And he works in a golf-course. Talk about heavy duty.

The only concern I have is as duable as they look and feel, they may lead a person to abusing them.

Comparison shop and these will always be the winner.

Chainsaw Not Required! [Posted on 2003-06-20]
Gee whiz... occasionally, you find a piece of equipment that is truly well-made and worth the extra dollars it costs. Corona's loppers are super! I have 5 acres and along a fencerow I had a lot of willow trees coming up that had already grown to a couple of inches in diameter. They were a real pain to mow around, and I had grown to dread mowing that side of my lawn. One hour with the Corona lobbers in my hands, and they were all laid to waste! I had originally thought about cleaning this undergrowth up with a chain saw, but these lobbers are much faster and a lot easier to use to boot!

I'd had some miniature lobbers that I used to cut roses with. I'd always thought a lot of those mini-lobbers too, but had never paid attention to what brand they were. I knew that on occasion, I had pruned trees with them, which was well beyond their advertised or intended capacity, and they'd always done well. So... when I was hanging up my new giant Corona lobbers, I picked up the little ones I'd had for so long to see what brand they were... Corona also. These guys just make great tools!

I've cut some whompin big bushes and tree limbs with my new giant lobbers, and they've never given as much as a squeak.

Highly recommended -- a tool to keep!

Worth the money [Posted on 2003-07-17]
Expensive, yes. But this is an efficient, tough tool.

Just spent many days clearing brush and trees. This tool is the best I have used. I have broken wooden handles on other loppers, struggled with others, and am completely satisfied with this 32 inch Corona. Also consider their hand clippers. The top of the line is fantastic.

Good for most cutting jobs but not best for everything. [Posted on 2004-06-18]
I have had an anvil looper for a long time. The anvil looper has a gear mechanism that increases the leverage. It easily cut up to 2-inch branches with one slice. But the blade finally became dull and I could not find a replacement so I decided it was time to buy a new one. I had a difficult time deciding between an anvil or bypass looper. I decided on the bypass because it has 2 ?-inch cutting capacity and long 32-inch handles for leverage. They should have said 2 ?-inch capacity if you can cut it because you can't cut through a 2 or 2 ?-inch tree branch without attacking it several times from various angles. That makes cutting vary difficult. On smaller stuff it cuts great but then the long handles become awkward.

It is a good cutting tool for brush and small branches but next time, when I must buy another one, it will be an anvil.

Great [Posted on 2008-03-04]
Thanks to the people who posted earlier on this item. This tool is worth every penny--the anvil action, the light weight, the reach, the cutting quality. It really holds an edge and the cutting action is superior to other loppers. I bought this in 2004 and it cuts as well as the day it arrived.
