With an overall length of 200 mm, these shears provide excellent leverage for everyday gardening tasks. The bypass cutting mechanism ensures clean, smooth cuts, making them ideal for maintaining the health of your plants by minimizing damage to stems and branches.

Advantages

These pruning shears feature a robust carbon steel blade that maintains its sharpness over time, ensuring consistent performance. The handles are constructed with an aluminium core for strength and lightweight handling, while the PVC coating provides a comfortable, non-slip grip during extended use. The inclusion of a safety lock mechanism adds an extra layer of security, allowing for safe storage when the tool is not in use.

Suitable for

• Pruning live branches and green wood
• Trimming shrubs and small trees
• General garden maintenance

This tool may not be suitable for cutting thick, dry, or dead wood, as the bypass mechanism is specifically engineered for live plant tissue. Attempting to cut materials exceeding the 20 mm diameter capacity or very hard wood may damage the blades or the pivot mechanism.

Key specifications

• Cutting system: Bypass
• Handle material: Aluminium and PVC
• Blade material: Carbon steel
• Safety lock: Included
• Total length: 200 mm

To use the pruning shears, release the safety lock located near the handle base. Position the branch deep into the jaw of the shears to ensure the most efficient cut. Apply firm, steady pressure to the handles to close the blades. After use, wipe the blades clean of sap and debris to prevent corrosion and ensure longevity.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that the 20 mm cutting capacity meets your specific pruning needs
• Ensure the bypass design is appropriate for your intended use on live wood
• Verify the handle size is comfortable for your grip

Usage recommendations: Regularly clean the blades with a light oil to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Keep the tool stored in a dry place and locked when not in use to maintain safety and blade integrity.
