Fiskars Bypass Pruning Shears with a Sharp Precision-Ground Steel Blade

This functional pruning tool is a lifesaver! I have a pair of gardening shears that is great for cutting flower stems or pruning houseplants. I attempted to prune some of the branches on my holly tree with it, and I was disappointed to learn that it failed to prune wood branches. I didn’t want to invest in a lopper, which costs around $50, so I searched for “woodcutter”, “wood branch cutter”, “pruning wood”, etc. The search results mostly showed a lopper and a link to Amazon, but finally, I found the perfect pruning shears for the task I wanted. And for a fraction of the cost, too.

It was only $9.97! 

This small but mighty Bypass Pruning Shears from Fiskars are ideal for cutting steams and light branches. They are essentially gardening shears but feature more powerful blades, so they can tackle light branches.

The Bypass Pruning Shears work just like other gardening shears, and they have a locking mechanism to protect the blades and your hands during handling and storage.

The maximum cutting capacity is 5/8” in diameter, so most thinner branches can be trimmed with these. If you’re dealing with thicker branches and are a serious gardener, I believe you’ll need to invest in a lopper. Nonetheless, if you’re a light gardener like myself but are in search of pruning shears to nip out a few branches, these Bypass Pruning Shears will do the job.
