Ambidextrous Bypass Pruner
The Fiskars SoftGrip Bypass Pruning Shears are designed for both right and left-handed gardeners tending shrubs, ornamental trees, vines and flowers such as roses. The ambidextrous shape and SoftGrip handle reduce hand fatigue while enhancing comfort and control during extended pruning sessions. The bypass cutting action suits green, living stems up to 5/8 inch diameter, helping minimise crushing for healthier plant growth. A fully hardened, precision-ground steel blade stays sharp through heavy use.
Low-Friction Coated Blade
The blade features a low-friction, rust-resistant coating that allows the pruner to glide smoothly through wood while reducing sap buildup and gumming. This coating supports reliable outdoor performance and helps maintain cutting efficiency over time. The DuraFrame construction provides a lightweight frame that is stronger than steel for lasting value. No additional accessories or software are bundled with the shears.
Check Hand Size and Cut Needs
The supplier description notes a smaller size offering comfort for gardeners with smaller hands, so users with larger hands should verify the grip feels secure before ordering. Confirm that the 5/8 inch cut capacity matches the typical branch thickness in your garden, as the bypass action is intended for live growth rather than dead or dry wood. Ensure you are comfortable with a manual hand tool requiring repeated squeezing force.

Questions about this item
Will the hardened steel blade need professional sharpening or can I maintain it at home?
The precision-ground steel blade stays sharp through heavy use; you can maintain the edge at home with a standard garden-tool sharpener or fine file when cutting performance drops.
What part reaches its limit first when cutting continuously through 5/8-inch green branches?
Hand fatigue is the practical limit; the SoftGrip handles and ambidextrous shape are designed to extend comfort, but sustained heavy cuts will tire the user before the blade or DuraFrame construction fails.
Does the low-friction coating stop the handles from getting hot or slippery during a full day of pruning?
The coating is on the blade to reduce sap buildup and rust; handle comfort comes from the SoftGrip material, which stays secure and cool even with prolonged use.
