Know before you buy
This pruner is designed to cut branches up to 3/4 inch (20 millimeters) in diameter. It is best suited for precision pruning of stems and smaller branches rather than heavy-duty wood.
Yes, the design is ambidextrous. The ergonomic handle shape and central locking mechanism allow for comfortable use regardless of which hand you prefer.
The bypass mechanism works like a pair of scissors, where two blades slide past each other to create a clean, sharp cut. This is ideal for live, green growth as it minimizes damage to the plant tissue and promotes faster healing.
Yes, the pruner features a swing-up locking mechanism that keeps the blades firmly closed when not in use. This ensures the tool remains safely stored and protects the precision-ground edges.
To keep the blades performing at their best, wipe them clean of sap and debris after every use. Periodically oil the pivot point and sharpen the blade edge to maintain the precision-ground quality.
