Know before you buy
These shears are designed to cut stems and branches up to 5/8 inch in diameter. Attempting to cut thicker wood may damage the blades or the pivot mechanism.
Bypass blades work like scissors, with two blades passing by each other to create a clean, precise cut. This method is gentler on live, green stems and helps prevent the crushing damage often caused by anvil-style pruners.
The low-friction coating prevents sap and plant debris from sticking to the blades, which keeps the cutting action smooth. It also provides an extra layer of protection against rust, extending the life of the steel.
Yes, they feature an ergonomic design and a non-slip grip to reduce hand fatigue. The all-steel construction is durable, though it does add a bit more weight compared to plastic-handled alternatives.
These shears include a self-cleaning sap groove that helps clear away debris during use. This feature, combined with the non-stick coating, significantly reduces the chance of the blades gumming up while you work.
