What customers say
Customers highly regard these pruning shears for their exceptional comfort and cutting performance. The sharp steel blade consistently delivers clean, effortless cuts through live wood up to three quarters of an inch, simplifying work on shrubs and perennials. A key highlight is the SoftGrip handle design, which significantly reduces hand fatigue during long pruning sessions, benefiting all users.

Know before you buy
Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to create a clean, precise cut. This method is ideal for live stems because it minimizes bruising to the plant tissue, allowing for faster healing.
These shears have a 3/4-inch cutting capacity, which is perfect for general pruning of live stems and smaller branches. If you are working with woody branches thicker than 3/4 of an inch, you should use a lopper or a pruning saw to avoid damaging the tool.
No, the blades on this specific model are not replaceable. However, the high carbon steel construction is designed for durability and long-term use with proper maintenance.
The SoftGrip handles are designed to provide a cushioned, non-slip surface that reduces pressure on your palms. This ergonomic feature helps minimize hand fatigue, making it easier to prune for longer periods.
This model does not feature a built-in safety lock. We recommend storing them in a secure location out of reach of children when not in use.
