Title: Bent blades
Review: Like a previous reviewer, my corona lopper blades bent on 1" limbs. The original sticker said it was good up to 1.5" branches, this ad says it'll eat 2.5" limbs, but that was not my experience. I've never cut anything harder than oak or pine, and never anything thicker than an inch. But now the blade is bent, and it won't get through half-inch limbs without a fight. I assume there is harder steel on other products. I'll find out this summer.FWIW, while the blade was straight, these loppers made quick work of some green branches that were less than an inch thick, and the handles took all the abuse I dished out. The second star is for that reason. The non-blade parts of this thing have held up nicely. They're also 5 years old, and only now have a little rust on them.Apart from the bent blade, these are good loppers.But the blade is pretty much the clutch component, seriously. So I won't buy these again, I'll try a different brand.
