This Pope bypass pruner is for pruning live stems, roses and light branches up to 16mm in diameter. The cutting blade moves past the lower blade, like scissors, to cut through green growth.
The hardened steel blade provides the cutting edge, while the rubber hand grip gives a comfortable hold. A spring between the handles helps reopen the blades, and a safety latch holds them closed for storage.
After use, wipe the blades clean and remove leaves, debris and sap. Close and latch the blades, then store the pruner in a clean, dry place.
