Pruning shears Fiskars 111960 bypass, black – garden secateurs, hand pruner

Fiskars 111960 Bypass pruning shears provide precise cutting performance for garden maintenance and plant shaping. These hand pruners use a bypass cutting system for clean, accurate cuts on live stems. The metal handles offer durability and a comfortable grip, finished in black for a discreet, professional appearance. At 230 mm in length and approximately 270 g in weight, the tool balances control with lightness for regular trimming tasks.

Advantages

The bypass blade design enables close, non-crushing cuts that support plant health by minimizing tissue damage. Metal handles improve longevity and resist deformation under normal use. The tool's ergonomic proportions and moderate weight reduce hand fatigue during repeated cropping and shaping activities. The compact length allows access to tighter branches and detailed work around flowers and shrubs.

Suitable for

• Pruning small to medium live stems and shoots
• Trimming roses, shrubs and ornamental plants
• Shaping hedges and herbaceous plants
• General garden maintenance and deadheading

How to use

Hold the pruning shears with a firm, comfortable grip and position the bypass blades so the moving blade passes close to the fixed blade to make a clean slicing cut through the stem. Cut at a slight angle when pruning live shoots to promote water runoff and healthy regrowth. Use steady, controlled pressure and avoid twisting the tool during the cut. For thicker stems near the tool's maximum capacity, make a series of smaller cuts rather than forcing the blades.

Usage recommendations

Maintain blade sharpness and hygiene by wiping blades after use and applying a light oil to pivot points to prevent corrosion. Inspect handles and locking mechanisms periodically. Store the shears in a dry place out of reach of children. For best results on woody or very thick branches, use appropriately rated loppers or a pruning saw.
