Corona XSeries Pro Bypass Pruner

Bypass pruners work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for live, green stems because it minimizes crushing, which helps the plant heal faster and prevents disease.

The XSeries Pro features an ergonomic handle designed specifically to reduce hand fatigue. While it is built for a wide range of grip sizes, the contoured shape is generally accommodating for most users during extended pruning sessions.

These are designed primarily for live stems and smaller branches. While they are durable, they are not intended for heavy-duty, thick wood; for branches thicker than your thumb, you should use loppers or a pruning saw to avoid damaging the blade.

To maintain the cutting edge, wipe the blades clean of sap and debris after every use. Periodically applying a light coat of oil will prevent rust and keep the bypass action smooth.

Yes, the pruner includes an intuitive locking mechanism. This keeps the blades securely closed during storage, protecting both the blade edge and your hands when you reach into your tool bag.
