Bond Bloom Bypass Pruner

These pruners are designed for a cutting capacity of up to 0.5 inches. They are best suited for light stems, flowers, and small, green branches rather than thick, woody growth.

Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing by each other to create a clean, precise cut. This minimizes crushing damage to the stem, which helps the plant heal faster and reduces the risk of disease.

Heat-treating the high carbon steel makes the metal harder and more durable. This allows the blades to hold a sharp edge significantly longer than standard steel, meaning you won't have to sharpen them as frequently.

Weighing in at 16 ounces, these pruners have a substantial, sturdy feel without being overly cumbersome. They are balanced for standard garden maintenance, though you may notice the weight during extended, all-day pruning sessions.

No, these are intended for light, everyday garden maintenance. For thicker branches or heavy-duty landscaping, you would be better served by a pair of loppers or a pruning saw, as forcing these pruners beyond their 0.5-inch capacity can damage the blades.
