Suitable for

• Pruning live stems and green branches
• Maintaining ornamental shrubs and flowering plants
• Trimming small trees and woody perennials
• General seasonal garden maintenance

When it may not be suitable

These shears are specifically designed for live, green wood and are not suitable for cutting thick, dry, or dead branches. Attempting to cut hard, woody material beyond the tool's capacity may damage the blades or the pivot mechanism.

Key specifications

• Bypass cutting mechanism
• Designed for live plant material
• Ergonomic handle design
• Durable blade construction

How to use

To use the pruning shears, ensure the blades are clean and sharp. Place the branch as deep as possible into the jaw of the shears to maximize leverage. Apply firm, steady pressure to the handles to complete the cut in one smooth motion. Always ensure the bypass blades pass each other cleanly without twisting the tool, as this can cause the blades to misalign or dull prematurely.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the maximum cutting diameter capacity
• Ensure the handle size fits your grip comfortably
• Verify the intended use is for live wood rather than dry timber

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean the blades after each use to remove sap and debris, and apply a light coat of oil to the pivot point to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
