Know before you buy
PowerArc™ technology uses a curved blade design to optimize the leverage point during the cut. This mechanical advantage makes cutting through stems and branches up to 20% easier compared to standard straight-blade pruners.
These are bypass pruners, which use two blades that pass by each other like scissors. This design is ideal for making clean, precise cuts on live, green growth without crushing the stem.
Yes, the high-carbon steel blades are designed to be sharpened to maintain their edge. If the blades eventually wear down, they are also replaceable, which helps extend the overall lifespan of the tool.
The secondary lock limits how wide the blades open. By restricting the opening width, you can make faster, shorter snips when pruning smaller stems or doing repetitive deadheading, which saves time and effort.
The pruner is designed with ergonomics in mind, featuring shock-reducing bumpers to absorb impact and a spring-assisted opening mechanism. These features work together to minimize hand strain during extended pruning sessions.
The non-stick coating reduces friction as the blade passes through plant tissue. This makes each cut smoother and prevents the blades from gumming up with sap or debris, keeping your work efficient.
