Fiskars Control Bypass Pruner

Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to make a clean, precise cut. This design is ideal for live stems and branches because it minimizes crushing damage to the plant tissue, which helps the plant heal faster.

Yes, these pruners feature an ambidextrous design, making them comfortable and functional for both left- and right-handed gardeners.

These pruners are designed to cut stems and branches up to one inch in diameter. Attempting to cut thicker material may damage the blades or the tool's mechanism.

Weighing 12.8 ounces, these pruners are balanced for regular use. The ergonomic, soft-grip handles are specifically designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended pruning or deadheading sessions.

To keep the blades sharp and rust-free, wipe them clean after each use to remove sap and debris. Periodically applying a light coat of oil to the blades and pivot point will ensure smooth operation and longevity.
