Pruning Shears Flo 99213, bypass secateur, 220 mm cutting length, garden pruning tool

Flo pruning shears model 99213 are bypass secateurs with a 220 mm cutting length designed for routine garden pruning. These manual pruning shears are intended for clean cutting of green wood, stems and small branches in home gardens and small-scale horticulture. The tool is suitable for trimming shrubs, roses and fruit trees where precise scissor-type cuts are required.

Advantages

The bypass cutting mechanism produces clean, precise cuts that reduce damage to plant tissue and support healthier regrowth. With a 220 mm maximum cutting length, these shears handle medium-thickness stems and branches typical of pruning tasks around the garden. The manual design keeps operation simple and does not require power, making the tool lightweight and portable for repeated use across beds, borders and fruit trees.

Suitable for

• Trimming shrubs and hedges
• Pruning roses and ornamental plants
• Cutting small fruit tree branches and shoots
• General maintenance of home gardens and allotments

When it may not be suitable

These bypass secateurs are designed for manual use on green wood and branches within the specified cutting length. They are not suitable for cutting large hardwood branches, heavy-duty forestry work or repetitive high-volume commercial production without regular breaks and maintenance.

Key specifications

• Cutting type: bypass (scissor-type) blades
• Maximum cutting length: 220 mm
• Intended use: manual garden pruning of stems, shoots and small branches
• Typical applications: shrubs, roses, fruit trees, ornamental plants

How to use

Position the bypass blades so the branch sits between the cutting blade and the counter blade, then apply steady pressure to make a clean cut at the desired point. For optimal plant health, cut at a slight angle just above a bud or lateral shoot. Use the shears only within their cutting length and avoid twisting or forcing the tool through wood that is too thick. After use, wipe blades clean, dry thoroughly and store in a dry place.

What to consider before purchase

• Maximum cutting length (220 mm) and suitability for medium-thickness stems
• Bypass cutting mechanism appropriate for live green wood and precise cuts
• Manual operation — no power source required, consider user strength for frequent tasks
• Maintenance needs: blade cleaning and occasional sharpening to retain cutting quality

Usage recommendations

Use the Flo 99213 for routine garden maintenance where precise, clean cuts are needed. Inspect blades before each session, avoid cutting branches thicker than the tool’s capacity, and perform basic maintenance—cleaning, drying and sharpening—to extend service life and maintain cutting performance.
