RYOBIOLP1832BX Branch Loppers 18V ONE+ 32mm 150Kg/m 250Nm Bypass (Body Only)

Great toolLove all ryobi cordless tools. This little lopper can handle cutting small limbs easily. Used it to clear trails of underbrush. Much easier than a hand help lopper. Handles way more than I thought without getting arm weary.

I've used this lopper to trim my oak trees and it's very strong. Any branch that fits in the claw will be cut. Sometimes I have to activate it a few times to get all the way through a big branch, but it always gets the job done. Way easier than using a saw. The length of the lopper makes it easy to get branches without using a ladder. Highly recommend.

Update: used a lot over past month. Excellent for trimming thorn plants like raspberries and blackberries without getting arms scratched up. Used to clean up shrubs and they look great. Battery lasts for any project we have worked on. Neighbor borrowed and really liked how it works.Every once in a while it will not open when trying to operate. Oil and pull on cable to loosen up. Easy fix.Update: trimmed several trees then used the tool to cut into smaller size branches. The battery lasted the entire project. The tool is easy enough to use even for someone smaller. I have a number of different tools by this brand which have held up over time.Just arrived and tried it out on my plum, apple, and apricot trees. Also tried on plum shrub. One battery lasted trimming all four trees. Overall first impression this will be a great tool to have on hand.

The Ryobi Lopper has made nice clean cuts on all the branches I have cut so far, up to a few at 1" diameter. The trimmed edge of the branch does protrude from the tree trunk slightly, it depends on how the tool is held during the cut, some protrude farther than others, nieghborhood of 1/8" protrusion. Another great thing is that it is easy to use and light weight and user friendly, fun to use. I would recommend it to a friend.

Got this for my mate as a birthday present, believe it or not. She is a devoted gardener with a lot of pruning to do and this works even for thicker branches on the pecan trees. It's very useful for the rose bushes - no more thorn scratches due to the long reach!

When my husband bought this, I rolled my eyes at one more Ryobi tool he had to add to his collection. That is, until I had to clear a fence line from invasive Asian honeysuckle and myriad other foliage. What makes this awesome is that you can stick it through the goat fence to get to the stuff on the other side without having to lean over the top barbed wire with a regular set of loppers and try to get adequate leverage all while trying not to slice yourself a million times. You do have to be careful to not cut the fence, because yes, it will cut through that wire like butter.It also can down take branches that are like 1.5" in diameter. There's no way in H E double hockey stick that I would be able to take an inch diameter branch with a regular lopper. Now, it is much heavier than said regular lopper so you will still be getting your arm workout hauling it around but boy did it make my life easier! Well, the fence clearing part of it anyway.

I do a lot of pruning and I use battery power whenever possible to ease up the wear and tear on my hand/arm. The speed of this lopper is slow which I can deal with but it's still frustrating when it's half speed at best compared to my smaller battery pruner. My biggest issue with this lopper is the safety switch which is extremely awkward and poorly thought out, depending on how far you reach out I've occasionally been unable to get the thing to allow me to engage the blades and I think it would be much better with a paddle style safety switch. Quality of the blades is okay but they dull quickly so have a file on hand. Battery life is very good when running a 2ah battery. I do feel that for homeowners this is a acceptable product that can immensely improved with just a few tweaks but for commercial use this is barely acceptable.

I love this thing! I have saved hours with it and a lot of energy not using manual clippers. It has a great reach for getting at harder to get items.
