Dramm Bypass Pruner

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

These are designed for lighter maintenance tasks. They have a maximum cutting capacity of 5/8 of an inch, so they are best suited for trimming flowers, herbs, and small, green stems rather than woody, thick branches.

While the stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, it is still best practice to wipe the blades clean and store them in a dry place after use. This will help maintain the sharpness of the edge and ensure the tool lasts for many seasons.

Yes, at just 5.6 ounces, this pruner is quite lightweight. Its compact 9-inch design is intended to reduce hand fatigue during extended gardening sessions, making it a comfortable choice for routine deadheading and pruning.
