Wildflower Seed Company Forged By-Pass Pruner

Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades sliding past each other to create a clean, precise cut. This makes them ideal for live, green stems and delicate plants, as they minimize crushing damage to the plant tissue.

High carbon steel is prized for its ability to hold a very sharp edge longer than stainless steel. While it offers excellent cutting performance, it is more susceptible to rust, so we recommend wiping the blade clean and applying a light coat of oil after use.

Yes, forged aluminum is an excellent choice for handles because it provides a high strength-to-weight ratio. It offers the durability needed for regular garden maintenance while remaining lightweight enough to prevent hand fatigue during longer sessions.

The PVC grips are designed with a non-slip texture to provide a secure hold even when your hands are wet or wearing gloves. This adds a necessary layer of safety and control when you are working in typical garden environments.

While the handles are designed for a standard, ergonomic fit, the forged aluminum construction keeps the tool balanced and relatively slim. If you have very small hands, you may find the grip diameter comfortable, though it is always best to test the reach of the blades before heavy use.
