Pruning Shears Bypass Bahco PG-12-F Steel Blade 210mm 165g

Bahco PG-12-F pruning shears feature a bypass cutting system with hardened steel blades engineered for precise, clean cuts. At 210 mm overall length and weighing 165 g, these hand pruners are lightweight and balanced for single-hand operation. The compact design supports work in tight spaces and on small stems, making them suitable for routine garden maintenance, detailed pruning tasks and professional landscaping where accuracy is required.

Advantages

The bypass mechanism provides shearing action that preserves plant tissue by cutting cleanly past the counter blade, reducing damage to stems and encouraging faster healing. Hardened steel blades deliver durability and reliable edge retention for repeated use. The tool’s compact 210 mm length and 165 g weight offer reduced hand fatigue during extended tasks while enabling good control for precision cuts.

• Pruning small branches and shoots in home gardens

How to use

Hold the pruning shears in your dominant hand with the blades facing the stem to be cut. Position the bypass blade on the side of the cut that will remain on the plant to ensure a clean shearing action against the counter blade. Apply steady pressure to close the blades fully through the stem, avoiding twisting motions. For thicker wood, make a series of small, controlled cuts rather than forcing a single heavy cut. After use, wipe the blades clean and dry to remove sap and debris.

Usage recommendations

For best results, sharpen and lubricate the blades periodically and inspect for wear. Use these pruning shears on stems and branches within the recommended cutting capacity for bypass pruners; do not use on nails, wire, or hardened materials. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and keep out of reach of children.
