VXB Ratcheting Pruning Shears

The ratcheting mechanism works in stages, allowing you to cut through thick branches in several smaller increments rather than one continuous squeeze. This multiplies your force, significantly reducing the physical strain on your hand and wrist.

These shears are designed to cut branches up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Because of the ratcheting action, they can manage this thickness much more easily than standard bypass pruners.

Yes, these are an excellent choice for gardeners with arthritis or limited grip strength. The ratcheting design minimizes the amount of force required to make a cut, and the shock-absorbing handle helps reduce impact on your joints during repetitive use.

The blades feature a non-stick coating that helps prevent sap buildup, which keeps the cutting action smooth. To maintain them, simply wipe the blades clean after each use and apply a light coat of oil occasionally to prevent rust and keep the mechanism moving freely.

Yes, the safety lock is designed for simple, one-handed operation. It keeps the blades securely closed when not in use, ensuring safe storage in your tool belt or shed.
