Know before you buy
The Silver Line Pruner is designed to cut branches up to 0.75 inches (19.05 mm) in diameter. For best results and to maintain blade sharpness, avoid attempting to cut material thicker than this capacity.
The curved blade is ideal for general pruning and clean bypass cuts on live stems. The straight blade is better suited for precision work and includes a dedicated wire-cutting notch, making it a preferred choice for florists.
The 2-step lock allows you to adjust the opening range of the blades. This feature is particularly useful for smaller hands or when performing repetitive, quick snips, as it prevents the blades from opening fully and reduces hand fatigue.
No, they are built with lightweight aluminum handles, which significantly reduces hand strain during extended gardening sessions. The ergonomic grip also helps ensure the tool remains comfortable and secure in your hand.
Yes, the straight blade model features a specific notch designed for cutting floral wire. This prevents you from dulling the main cutting edge of the blade when working with wire or twine.
