CHOOSING THIS MODEL
Compare compound leverage with a basic pivot
The Power-Lever is for comparing compound linkage with a basic bypass head or a geared lopper. Its multiple-lever action is the functional difference, while the nominal 28-inch layout keeps it in the same size class as the standard Fiskars bypass model. The seller rates this one for branches up to 1.75 inches in diameter and describes the blade for living green growth.
Fully hardened stainless steel, a low-friction surface and steel handles form the cutting and body construction. Rounded SoftGrip contact areas complete the grip arrangement. Choose it for the lever mechanism rather than a promised reduction in effort: no independent force result is supplied. The PowerGear 2 changes to a gear-and-cam mechanism, while TABOR GG11A provides another compound-bypass comparison with a longer nominal 30-inch format and a stated replacement-blade option.
