Tiger Jaw P2 Ratchet Anvil Hand Pruner

Instead of cutting through a branch in one continuous squeeze, the ratchet mechanism allows you to make the cut in several short, incremental pumps. This engages the blade in stages, which significantly reduces the amount of hand strength required to slice through tougher stems.

The Tiger Jaw P2 is designed for branches up to 0.75 inches in diameter. While the ratchet action makes cutting easier, attempting to cut branches larger than this can damage the blade or the mechanism.

Yes, the combination of the ratchet mechanism and the lightweight nylon and fiberglass handle makes these an excellent choice for gardeners who need to minimize hand strain. The incremental cutting action does most of the heavy lifting for you.

It does. The coating prevents sap and debris from building up on the blade, which keeps the cutting action smooth and prevents the blades from sticking together. You will still need to wipe the blade clean after use to keep it in top condition.

This is an anvil pruner. It features a single sharp blade that closes against a flat bottom plate, which is ideal for cutting dry, dead wood or stems where a clean, precise cut isn't as critical as the ease of slicing through the material.
