Not too difficult. I bought them and I am a small woman. Trimmed up the overgrown azaleas pretty well.

Hard for me to say....but that's why I bought this ratchet cutter....works very well for me on large diameter branches live or dry!

Can't really tell you that, but I do know they will cut 2 " wild grapevines with no trouble and that is why I purchased them. I have cut literally hundreds with them and they worked great !!

Hi. I have 3 sets of fiskars clippers and these are my least favorite. If you can learn the ratchet trick, they work well....by the way, I am female. However, you cannot just go cut, you HAVE. To ratchet and sometimes, I don't care what I do, it doesn't seem to work and I just revert to my one size smaller fiskars to get it done.

I can only offer a guess but a slightly educated guess. I have just completed treatment for cancer and do not have a lot of strength or stamina at the moment. I have only used my loppers a couple of times but was surprised at how easily they cut compared to my old ones. So I would say it depends on your size and strength ability and please do not take offense at my comment on size as no manner of offense was meant. I feeel they work great.

Easy for Wonder Woman, Hard for Tinker Bell. 2 inch limb would be at upper capacity for most People. However this is a very good Lopper!

We mostly use it for cutting limbs and brush up to around 5 or 6 inches in diameter, but I have seen others who say they cut limbs of 8 to 10 inches or more in diameter. It's not a heavy duty logging machine, so I wouldn't push it too hard.

It has worked great for the trimming I needed to do. I had limbs from 1/2"to about 6". All together I cut about two dozen limbs and still on the first battery.

Absolutely, just put a pruning blade in it. I do it all the time on my farm. Goes through small limbs easily

yes you can cut it fairly easily with a pair of regular house scissors or a razor knife.

I followed the directions. depending on the knife a few swipes seem to do the trick. in answer no it is not too hard. hope this helps. I am not in the least bit mechanically inclined.

It's PVC like material and yes it's very easy to cut. I used a circular saw and a jig saw and neither one of them had a problem. Just don't do like I did and cut the wrong side. Their is a top and bottom, just read the instructions to figure that out.

I had no need to cut and trim mine. But with a good cutting blade tool and a strong arm, my guess would be it would be easily doable.

it's not the thickest, but it's pretty durable.....I've cut many 2-3 inch limbs and small trees down with it so far....the only problem I've found with the blade is minor chipping of the edge.....

My husband was able to cut branches of 2 inches in diameter with no problem. Any larger may take more than a few tries. The only drawback is the weight of the appliance itself. You just can't hold it in an upward position for long, because, with the greatest part of the weight being at the very end, it's stress-weight is on YOUR end.

Yup its very easy to cut. There should be a grommet at a around 40 feet. So no problem.

Not easy....usually with a hacksaw or an axe. I just usually cut them in half, not small pieces...

I have used these to cut up to about 1/2" branch...takes a little muscle but works just fine.

The Fiskars 36" Long-handled Swivel Grass Shears is very easy to use and saves on bending or getting on your knees; to answer your question about how hard it is to squeeze, it is no harder and maybe easier than a short hand-held shear. Yes, I would recommend a purchase to anyone.

I have found that this tool is a bit difficult to manage with one hand. Not so much the weight, but the handle is thick and hard to grip securely one handed especially if you need to saw an acceptable straight cut. Might consider using a person powered tool if the task is not to extensive.

Yes but honestly practice is going to be needed before you get a straight cut. I believe a second person would make it a lot neater too. I've not taken the time to master this yet.

It's pretty easy. It does curl pretty badly so I would either have someone help you hold it down or use a couple heavy objects so you can get a straight cut. It does have a grid printed on the back for easy measurement.
