Know before you buy
These 8.5-inch bypass shears are designed for general pruning tasks, typically handling stems and branches up to 3/4 inch in diameter. They are ideal for roses, vines, and fruit trees.
Bypass shears work like scissors, with two blades passing by each other to create a clean, precise cut. This minimizes bruising and tissue damage, which helps your plants heal faster and prevents disease.
Yes, the ergonomic, non-slip grip and cushioned handles are specifically designed to reduce hand fatigue. The lightweight aluminum construction also makes them easier to maneuver during long pruning sessions.
While the materials are durable, it is best to wipe the blades clean and dry them after every use. Applying a light coat of machine oil occasionally will help keep the blades sharp and rust-free.
The spring is a wearable part that provides the tension needed to open the shears after each cut. Including an extra one ensures you can easily replace it if the original loses its tension over years of heavy use.
