Fiskars PowerGear Bypass Pruner

Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing by each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for live, green growth because it minimizes damage to the plant stem, helping it heal faster.

The internal gear and cam mechanism multiplies your hand strength as you squeeze. This provides the most leverage exactly when you need it most—at the thickest part of the branch—making it significantly easier to cut through tougher stems.

Yes, the ergonomic design is fully ambidextrous. The contoured handles and grip are shaped to fit comfortably in either hand, ensuring you get the same leverage and control regardless of your dominant hand.

These pruners are designed to handle branches up to 3/4 of an inch in diameter. Attempting to cut thicker branches may damage the blades or the gear mechanism.

The blades feature a low-friction, rust-resistant coating, but it is good practice to wipe them clean of sap and debris after each use. If the blades eventually dull, they can be sharpened with a standard sharpening tool to maintain their performance.

Fiskars provides a full lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. If the tool fails due to a manufacturing issue, the brand will replace or repair it.
