I'm looking for a brush lopper(s) to work on my stand access trails. I have one, but it's already to the point where it does more pinching and binding than cutting. Anybody got a good recommendation for one that has stood the test of time and not broken the bank?
Choices available on Amazon only please. There's not a rich shopping scene in Cass County.

Yep............battery operated reciprocating saw. Loppers suck!

Yep............battery operated reciprocating saw. Loppers suck! Shit, that sounds like a great idea. That might be overkill for my needs though. Now I'm not sure. How long you suppose you can cut on a decent battery? |

How long you suppose you can cut on a decent battery? I buy cheap loppers and a silky pruning saw. I figure most if the stuff I'm lopping doesn't need the clean cuts but, when I'm pruning I want clean cuts. |

How long you suppose you can cut on a decent battery? IDK? I get quite a bit of time out of a 3.0 amp. I don't worry much about the time as I have (3) 1.5 amp batteries and (2) 3.0 amp batteries for all my 18v cordless Milwaukee tools. Usually only takes one of the larger batteries to get each project done. Nice to have spares though. We trim up regrowth oak trees around the property, and cut a lot of crap around new stands with it. It also comes in handy for a lot of remodel & demo projects around the land. |

Stihl are the best I have owned. Been through a lot of the cheap ones. This pair has gone through a few good years now with only the occasional sharpening. I really like the feel of them too. Very sturdy.

I have a pair of those as well. They do a good job. I also have the exact same one. Reasonably priced and they do a good job. I should probably pick up another pair to keep at the cabin now that I think of it. |

I've got a Fiskar arriving today. You can dual purpose them and trim Bob's nails. |
