FISKARS 91095935 Bypass Pruner 731645

Product Information

Anvil pruners have a grooved stationary blade and a sharp cutting blade that comes straight down into the groove, creating a clean, crushing cut that is especially good when you are pruning dead twigs or small branches, but can also be used to prune living, woody stems. Anvil pruners are not the best choice, however, for slicing through soft, green stems; you want your bypass pruners for that job. We especially like this 8-inch anvil pruner from Gonicc, which has carbon-steel, chromium-plated blades that stay sharp. The handles are aluminum with a soft, rubbery grip for comfort.

A few plants, including cotoneaster, weigela, and Oregon grape, can be pruned any time. And broadleaf and narrowleaf evergreens can be pruned anytime the wood is not frozen."

ARS is a Japanese brand that's been around for over a century. Known for their extremely high quality, their pruning tools, including the HP-VS8Z, are an investment, but if you take your gardening seriously, you'll appreciate the amazing sharpness of the double-hardened, double-plated, resin-coated steel blades; this pruner snips through rose stems and canes as easily as cutting through butter, creating clean, perfect cuts without any ragged edges or tears. The blades are slightly offset to reduce hand fatigue and effort required for clamping the pruners closed, so even if your hands aren't the strongest you can still easily keep your rosebushes looking their best. Garden snips, like Fiskars Softouch Micro-Tip Pruning Snip, are a subset of bypass pruners. These tools have very short straight blades, both of which are sharp. Garden snips are useful for delicate work, such as deadheading flowers, snipping herbs, pruning houseplants, trimming very small vines or stems, shaping bonsai, or cutting flowers for bouquets. The Bypass style cutting head enables delicate pruning, suitable for younger and greener branches. The specially designed Bypass blade allows a precise and cleaner cut. p>Handles fitted with soft grips for comfort

Fiskars SmartFit Pruner Bypass P68 | Robert Dyas

These pruners have a pulley mechanism that greatly reduces the amount of force you need to exert to cut through branches, making them a good choice if you have a weak grip or painful hands. The maximum cut capacity is 3/4-inch so these can handle most common pruning tasks. They are a good size for the average hand but might be a bit large if your hands are very small. These are very reasonably priced anvil pruners, but note that a few customers complained that they broke while in use. Still, the majority of buyers were pleased with the pruners and felt that they performed well. It’s important to keep your gardening tools in good shape so they last longer and give you great performance. The same holds true for your bypass pruners. The good thing is it does not take much to maintain them. The blades come with a low-friction coating that will help make the cutting effortless. It also helps keep the sap away from the blades and protect them from gumming up. You also don’t have to worry about rust getting to the blades for a long time. Neither style of pruner is better, and in fact, it can be worthwhile to own one of each, as each can serve a slightly different purpose in the garden. As Brian Feldman explains, “Anvil pruners have a chopping action versus the cutting action of bypass pruners. Anvil pruners are best on dead or woody branches where finesse is not as important, while bypass pruners are best for more delicate, accurate, aesthetically pleasing cuts on live plant tissue, including green stems, vines, twigs, and flowers.”Bypass pruners are a must-have when it comes to pruning and trimming, and are an essential tool for any gardener. They’re versatile and essential for plant growth and health, so be sure to keep these tips in mind when choosing one to buy for yourself. What Is a Bypass Pruner? After using the bypass pruner to cut branches, wipe them clean, then apply some oil and store them in a safe place.
