Bypass garden shears BRADAS V-SERIES KT-V1029 — SK5 steel blade with PTFE coating, anthracite/orange

BRADAS V-SERIES bypass garden shears KT-V1029 feature a SK5 steel cutting blade with a PTFE (PTEF) protective coating and an ergonomic handle in anthracite and orange. The bypass mechanism allows for precise scissor-like cuts on live stems and young wood, while the coated blade reduces friction and resists corrosion. Designed for routine garden maintenance, these shears are intended for pruning shrubs, roses and shaping small branches where clean cuts promote healthy regrowth.

Advantages

The SK5 steel blade delivers a hard, durable cutting edge suitable for frequent pruning. The PTFE coating reduces sap adhesion and provides additional corrosion resistance, which helps maintain cutting performance over time. The bypass mechanism ensures precise cutting action that preserves plant tissue integrity compared with anvil-style shears. The anthracite/orange handle offers visual contrast for easier location in garden settings and an ergonomic shape that supports controlled handling during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Pruning shrubs and hedges with branches of small to medium diameter
• Trimming roses and flowering plants where clean cuts are important
• Shaping young fruit trees and ornamental bushes
• Routine garden maintenance and light landscaping tasks

When it may not be suitable

These bypass shears are designed for live stems and small to medium branches; they are not intended for cutting large, dry, or dead wood that exceeds the tool's cutting capacity. For heavy-duty cutting of thick branches, a pruning saw or lopper with greater leverage and blade length is more appropriate. The PTFE coating improves corrosion resistance but does not make the tool maintenance-free; regular cleaning and sharpening will be necessary for long-term optimal performance.

Key specifications

• Blade material: SK5 high-carbon steel
• Coating: PTFE (PTEF) protective coating on cutting blade
• Cutting mechanism: bypass (scissor-style) action
• Recommended use: live stems, young wood, shrubs, roses
• Handle finish: anthracite with orange accents, ergonomic shape

How to use

Position the bypass shears so the cutting blade passes cleanly by the opposing blade and make a single, smooth cut through the stem at a slight angle to promote water runoff. Use the appropriate part of the blade for the branch diameter—closer to the hinge for tougher cuts and near the tip for precise trimming. Avoid twisting or using the tool as a lever to prevent blade damage. After use, wipe sap and debris from the blade and apply a light oil to the pivot to maintain smooth action.

What to consider before purchase

• Typical branch diameter you plan to cut and whether bypass action suits those tasks
• Preference for blade material and the benefits of SK5 steel versus other alloys
• Importance of anti-stick/PTFE coating for sap-prone plants in your garden
• Handle ergonomics and visibility in your garden environment

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the BRADAS V-SERIES bypass shears on live stems up to the tool's recommended diameter, keep the blade clean and lightly oiled, and periodically sharpen the cutting edge to maintain precise, healthy cuts that support plant recovery.
