Steel handles provide robustness and reliable leverage for extended use, while the 625 mm length gives additional reach for higher or deeper cuts without excessive bending. The tool’s design focuses on straightforward operation and durable construction suitable for regular garden work.

How to use

Position the bypass blades around the green stem or branch to be cut, ensuring the cut is close to the desired growth point but not directly on the main stem base unless removing small shoots. Apply steady pressure to close the blades with a smooth motion. For thicker sections near the tool’s maximum capacity, use controlled force and make successive small cuts if necessary. After use, clean sap and debris from the blades and inspect for dulling or nicks.

Usage recommendations

Regularly oil the pivot joint and wipe the blades after each session to reduce corrosion and ensure consistent cutting performance. Avoid cutting hardened or dead wood beyond the specified cutting capacity to prevent blade damage and maintain tool life.
