Title: not what I expected
Product review: Starting with the positive, the mechanical advantage is amazing. You really can effortlessly cut anything that fits in the jaws. The negative side is that the jaws are flimsy and separate sideways. On small 1/4 twigs they don't cut, they just wedge between the jaws. On large branches it cuts through everything except the last piece of bark leaving the two pieces still joined. The whole point of the loppers is to cut through branches, and when it leaves the pieces connected with bark, or wedged between the jaws, it doesn't do its job. I even tightened down the pivot bolts hoping this would hold the jaws together, but that didn't work either. I don't care how powerful it is when it doesn't make the cut. I am returning this and buying a different brand.
