Corona BP 6250 Bypass Hand Pruner

The Corona BP 6250 is designed to cut branches up to 1 inch in diameter. It is best suited for green, living stems, though it is also capable of handling dry wood within that size range.

A bypass pruner works like a pair of 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 tissue, whereas anvil pruners are better suited for dead or woody stems.

The high-carbon steel blade is engineered to hold its edge well, but like any professional-grade tool, it will eventually require maintenance. The blade is accessible for sharpening, and the self-cleaning sap groove helps prevent buildup that can dull the edge over time.

The ergonomic forged aluminum handles are designed for a comfortable, non-slip grip that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes. The inclusion of a shock-absorbing bumper also helps reduce hand strain during repetitive tasks.

This model features a sliding thumb lock mechanism located near the handle. It is designed for easy, one-handed operation to keep the blades securely closed when you are moving around the garden or storing the tool.
