BahcoP19-80-F Heavy Duty Lopper, 32-Inch, Black

Quality and ease of use

I am happy with the purchase I think this product has superior quality. Slices through wood with ease.

After struggling with inefectual cheap loppers for too long, I sprung for these at nearly 2x the price. They are brilliant. They go through 1/2" branches effortlessly. 3/4" requires a bit of muscle but no struggle and no flexing of the tool itself..Cons: They are large and bit big for my wife who is a very small person but she is very happy with them nonetheless because they are so effective. The blades are high carbon steel which is why they work so well but they will rust if left in the weather.Well it's two seasons past now and these have done champion work. Had occasion to disassemble them for cleaning, the mounting screws for the handles have bushings! This is a quality detail that one might never see.

I have the same lopper on our farm. It is the best of the best. Yes, a bit more heft and weight than anything you'll find at the local hardware or gardening store, but there's no comparison. It will cleanly cut anything. The limiting factor will be your strength. It is a direct bypass pruner. Large opening and solid, solid, solid. Very sharp and long lasting edge. This is a lifetime purchase.

Best lopper I've ever had. Sharp, strong, well-designed, and well-constructed of good materials--and extra large for a big bite. It makes a nice clean cut on live wood. I've used a smaller version of this product for years and it's still good. I expect the same from this one.

I had a Fiskars lopper for many years, and was able to cut down over a thousand saplings without any problem. The design has since changed and I was looking for a replacement. After looking at the options, I decided on the Bahco P19-80, primarily because of the positive reviews. I have been very disappointed. The loppers are very heavy, and the blades smooth so that they slip off the branch or trunk often. often. Also, with the Fiskars loppers I was able to cut saplings and branches that were larger in diameter than I can with the Bahco loppers.

I was slow in writing this review. They are well made. They do not cut well on dead hard wood. They tend to stain and must be cleaned every use. I oil and clean regularly. I have cut 2 inch limbs with effort. I feel they will last, but I have a large pair of Fiskar loppers that do almost as well. This is a high price for a lopper. That said I would recommend a buy if you clean and take care with your tools.

Heavy Duty is right! These are a great addition to any outdoor tool kit and can cut through just about anything in need of pruning.
