Know before you buy
The ratcheting mechanism works by allowing you to make cuts in stages rather than one single squeeze. This provides extra leverage, making it significantly easier to cut through thicker, tougher branches without straining your hand.
These shears are rated for branches up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Attempting to cut anything thicker may damage the blade or the ratcheting mechanism.
Yes, the combination of the ratcheting action and the shock-absorbent pads makes these a great choice for those who need to reduce hand fatigue. The design requires less physical force to complete a cut compared to traditional bypass pruners.
SK-5 steel is known for its excellent edge retention and hardness. It stays sharp through heavy use, though you should keep it clean and dry after pruning to prevent rust.
To keep the mechanism working smoothly, periodically wipe the blade clean of sap and debris. A light application of machine oil on the pivot point and the ratcheting teeth will help maintain performance over time.
