Metallo Ergonomic Bypass Pruner

The Red Line pruners have a cutting capacity of 1 inch, making them ideal for trimming live branches and stems up to that diameter.

The adjustable two-step lock allows you to set the blade opening width to two different positions. This is particularly useful for smaller cuts, as it reduces the distance you need to open the handles, minimizing hand strain during repetitive tasks.

Yes, the ergonomic design and the adjustable two-step locking system make these a great choice for smaller hands. By limiting the blade opening width, you don't have to overextend your grip to make a cut.

The integrated sap groove channels away sticky plant residue as you cut. This prevents the blades from gumming up or sticking together, ensuring a smooth, consistent action throughout your pruning session.

These are bypass pruners, which are specifically designed for clean cuts on live, green growth. For dead or dry wood, an anvil-style pruner is generally recommended to avoid damaging the blade.

Because the blades are made of high-carbon steel, it is best to wipe them clean and dry them after every use to prevent rust. Occasionally applying a light coat of oil to the pivot point and blades will keep the action smooth and the metal protected.
