Pruning Shears AWTools AW63027 straight blade 185 mm cutting 45 mm handle PP+TPR

AWTools AW63027 straight pruning shears combine a 185 mm overall length with a straight cutting blade capable of a maximum 45 mm cutting diameter. Designed for routine garden pruning, these shears are intended for trimming shrubs, small branches and assorted garden plants. The handle construction uses polypropylene (PP) with a thermoplastic rubber (TPR) overmold to improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cutting operations.

Advantages

The straight blade geometry offers accurate, clean cuts on stems and small branches up to 45 mm in diameter while preserving plant tissue. The compact 185 mm length provides good control in confined spaces and on dense foliage. The PP core handle with TPR overmold increases slip resistance and comfort for extended use. The simple, functional design supports straightforward maintenance and blade alignment for consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Pruning shrubs and hedges
• Cutting small branches and twigs
• Shaping garden plants and ornamentals
• Routine seasonal pruning and maintenance

Key specifications

• Overall length: 185 mm
• Maximum cutting capacity: 45 mm
• Blade type: straight cutting blade
• Handle material: polypropylene (PP) core with TPR overmold
• Grip: non-slip TPR surface for improved hold
• Intended use: manual pruning of shrubs and small branches

How to use

Hold the pruning shears by the PP+TPR handle with a firm but comfortable grip, positioning the straight blade across the branch at the desired cutting point. Make a single, steady cut to minimize crushing of plant tissue. For larger branches approaching the 45 mm capacity, evaluate branch thickness first and make several smaller cuts from different sides if needed to avoid damaging the tool. After use, wipe the blade clean of sap and debris and store the shears in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect and sharpen the straight blade to maintain clean cuts; lubricate the pivot joint occasionally and keep the tool dry to prevent corrosion. Use protective gloves when cutting thicker branches and avoid applying excessive force beyond the specified 45 mm cutting capacity.
