Garden Guru Bypass Garden Pruner

Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to create a clean, precise cut. This makes them ideal for living green stems and branches, as they minimize crushing damage to the plant tissue, which helps the plant heal faster.

Yes, the titanium coating is primarily there to reduce friction and resist wear and corrosion. While it doesn't make the steel invincible, it helps the blades maintain their edge and resist sap buildup better than standard carbon steel.

The ergonomic handle design is specifically engineered to distribute pressure more evenly across your hand, which helps reduce strain during repetitive tasks. While they are designed for comfort, we always recommend taking breaks during long pruning sessions to avoid overexertion.

The safety lock is integrated into the handle mechanism and is designed to be engaged or disengaged with a simple flick of your thumb. It is intuitive enough for one-handed operation, allowing you to quickly secure the blades while moving between plants.

These pruners are best suited for stems and branches up to about 3/4 of an inch in diameter. For thicker, woody branches, you should switch to a lopper or a pruning saw to avoid damaging the blades or straining the tool's pivot point.
