Corona ComfortGEL Bypass Pruners

Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing by each other to create a clean, precise cut. This design is ideal for live, green growth because it minimizes damage to the plant stem, allowing it to heal faster.

Yes, the ComfortGEL grips are specifically designed to reduce hand stress. The soft, ergonomic material cushions your palm and fingers, making them a great choice if you have limited hand strength or plan on pruning for extended periods.

The volute spring is a cone-shaped design that resists dirt and debris buildup better than a traditional coil spring. This helps the pruners open and close smoothly without getting jammed by sap or soil.

While the non-stick coating helps prevent sap and debris from clinging to the blades, you should still wipe them down with a clean cloth after each use. Keeping the blades dry and free of residue will help maintain their sharpness and prevent corrosion over time.

These pruners are best suited for stems and branches up to 3/4-inch in diameter. For thicker, woody branches, you would be better served by a pair of loppers or a pruning saw to avoid damaging the blades.
