Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of pruning action do these gardening shears use?

A: These pruning shears use a bypass cutting action, where two blades pass by each other like scissors. This method produces clean, precise cuts that are ideal for live stems, green branches, and delicate plants, promoting healthy regrowth and minimizing damage.

Q: What is the maximum branch diameter these pruning shears can handle?

A: These shears are designed for general hand-pruning tasks such as trimming stems, flowers, small branches, and shrubs. For best results and to preserve the blade's edge, use them on branches up to approximately ¾ inch (about 2 cm) in diameter. For thicker branches, a lopper or saw is recommended.

Q: How do I care for and maintain these pruning shears?

A: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth to remove sap and debris. Occasionally apply a light coat of oil to the blade pivot point to keep the action smooth. The Japan SK-5 steel blades can be sharpened with a whetstone or blade sharpener when needed. Store in a dry place to prevent moisture buildup.

Q: Are these shears suitable for both left-handed and right-handed gardeners?

A: These pruning shears are designed primarily for right-handed use. The ergonomic TFR-coated handle provides a comfortable grip for most right-handed gardeners during everyday pruning tasks.
