Know before you buy
The ratchet mechanism allows you to cut through thicker branches in four short, incremental steps rather than one single squeeze. This provides a 110% mechanical advantage, making it significantly easier to prune tough or woody stems without straining your hand.
While these pruners are specifically optimized for dead or woody stems, they can handle living branches up to 20mm in diameter. However, for delicate green growth, you may prefer standard bypass pruners to avoid crushing the stem.
To keep the blades in top condition, wipe them clean after each use to remove sap and debris. While the PTFE coating provides rust resistance, applying a light coat of machine oil occasionally will help maintain smooth action and prevent corrosion.
The loop handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip that keeps your fingers protected during use. Combined with the non-slip coating, it helps reduce hand fatigue, especially when you are tackling repetitive pruning tasks.
These pruners are designed to cut branches up to 20mm (approximately 3/4 inch) in diameter. Attempting to cut material thicker than this may damage the ratchet mechanism or the blade.
The 10-year guarantee covers manufacturing defects in the tool's construction. Please note that blades are considered wear-and-tear items and should be maintained regularly to ensure longevity.
