Know before you buy
The rolling handle is designed to move with your fingers as you squeeze, which helps distribute pressure more evenly across your hand. This motion significantly reduces the repetitive strain and fatigue often associated with prolonged pruning sessions.
These shears are rated for a cutting capacity of up to 3/4 inch in diameter. Thanks to the PowerGear2 technology, they provide extra leverage, making it easier to cut through stems and branches that might be difficult for standard bypass pruners.
The UltraBlade coating is engineered to keep the steel blades sharper for a longer period of time compared to standard blades. It also helps the blades glide through plant material more smoothly, resulting in cleaner, healthier cuts for your plants.
Yes, the combination of the ergonomic SoftGrip handles and the PowerGear2 mechanism makes these a great choice for gardeners with limited hand strength or arthritis. The rolling handle design also requires less manual force to complete a cut.
Bypass blades work like scissors, making them the best choice for clean, precise cuts on live, green growth. Unlike anvil pruners, which can crush delicate stems, these bypass shears ensure your plants heal quickly after pruning.
No, these pruners feature an ambidextrous design, making them comfortable and functional for both left-handed and right-handed users.
