Know before you buy
These bypass pruners are designed to handle branches up to 1 inch in diameter. For thicker branches, we recommend using a lopper or pruning saw to avoid damaging the blade.
Yes, the ergonomic, non-slip rubber grips are designed for comfort and control. While the tool is heavy-duty, the high-tension coil spring helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.
To keep the blades sharp and rust-free, wipe them clean after each use and apply a light coat of machine oil before storing. Because they are made of heat-treated carbon steel, they hold an edge well but should be kept dry to prevent corrosion.
Yes, the pruners feature a built-in safety lock. This allows you to securely lock the blades in the closed position for safe storage in your tool belt or shed.
Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for live, green growth as it minimizes damage to the plant tissue and promotes faster healing.
The shears are constructed with a robust, stoutly attached stainless steel coil spring designed for long-term durability. While the construction is heavy-duty, the simple design makes it easy to clean and maintain the spring mechanism over time.
