A detailed buying guide: how to choose pruning shears.
Pruning shears are used to prune branches of trees, shrubs, vines and roses, cut flowers and produce, and prepare grafts. This section includes bypass and anvil pruners, ratchet models for thick branches and grape shears. For large orchards and long pruning sessions, cordless pruning shears are faster: how to choose cordless pruning shears.
Bypass pruners cut with two blades like scissors and do not crush live wood, while anvil pruners press the blade against a flat anvil and suit dry wood. A ratchet mechanism cuts a thick branch in several squeezes with little effort.
Standard pruning shears cut branches up to 20-25 mm. For thicker branches, use loppers: how to choose loppers so you do not damage the blades or the bark.
A blade made of high-carbon or SK5 steel stays sharp for a long time, and a non-stick or chrome coating reduces sap build-up and rust. A replaceable blade extends the life of the pruner.
Aluminium handles are light, and rubber inserts do not slip in your hand. A rotating lower handle reduces wrist strain during long pruning, and compact models are available for smaller hands.
A clean, smooth cut heals quickly and reduces the risk of tree disease. Cut just above a bud at an angle, and disinfect the blades after cutting diseased branches.
Check that the lock engages easily with one hand, and carry the pruner closed. Wear gloves: how to choose work gloves.
After work, clean off sap and dirt, dry the blades and oil the spring and pivot. Sharpen the blade regularly and tighten the pivot screw so there is no play between the blades: how to maintain, store and organize hand tools.
At ToolsArmenia you can choose pruning shears by mechanism, cutting diameter, blade and handles for orchards, vines and roses.
