Know before you buy
Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to make a clean, precise cut. This makes them ideal for pruning live, green stems and branches, as they minimize damage to the plant tissue compared to anvil pruners, which crush stems against a flat surface.
Yes, the forged steel construction is designed to cut through stems and light branches up to 1 inch in diameter. For the cleanest cut and to protect the blade's edge, ensure the branch is positioned deep within the jaws rather than at the very tip.
Yes, the blade is replaceable, which helps extend the overall lifespan of the tool. This is a significant advantage for a high-quality forged steel pruner, as it allows you to maintain peak performance without needing to replace the entire unit.
To keep the blades moving smoothly, wipe them clean of sap and debris after each use. Periodically applying a light machine oil to the pivot point and the blades will help prevent rust and keep the cutting action fluid.
The safety lock is designed for quick, secure access and can be engaged or disengaged with a simple motion. It keeps the blades closed tightly when not in use, ensuring safe storage in your tool belt or shed.
