Okatsune Bypass Pruning Shears

These specific shears are designed with an extended length to accommodate larger hands. If you have smaller hands, you may find them less comfortable to operate and might prefer a more compact model.

These bypass pruners are rated for a maximum cutting diameter of 0.98 inches (25 mm). Attempting to cut branches thicker than this can damage the blades or the pivot mechanism.

The high-visibility red and white handle design is intentional. It makes the tool easy to spot in the garden, even if you drop it in dense foliage or are working in low-light conditions.

To keep the blades razor-sharp and prevent rust, you should clean them after every use and apply a light coat of oil to the metal surfaces. Regular maintenance ensures smooth operation and extends the life of the cutting edge.

Bypass pruners work like scissors, where two sharpened blades pass by each other to create a clean, precise cut. This design is ideal for pruning live, green wood because it minimizes damage to the plant stem.
