Ryobi ONE+ HP Pruning Shear

This tool is part of the Ryobi 18V ONE+ system, meaning it is compatible with any Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery you currently own, regardless of when you purchased it.

The bypass blades are designed to handle stems and branches up to 1 inch in diameter. Anything thicker than that will likely exceed the tool's capacity and could damage the blade mechanism.

Yes, the bypass blades are designed to be replaceable. Over time, with heavy use, you can swap out the blades to maintain the clean, precise cuts necessary for plant health.

While the exact weight depends on the battery you attach, the tool is ergonomically balanced to minimize strain. Because the motor handles the actual cutting motion, you will experience significantly less hand and wrist fatigue compared to using manual bypass pruners.

Bypass blades work like scissors, with two blades passing each other to create a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for live, green wood because it minimizes damage to the plant tissue, helping the branch heal faster.

The LED is primarily designed to illuminate shadowed areas within dense shrubs or thick foliage where it can be difficult to see exactly where you are placing the blade. It is most effective in those darker, cluttered spots rather than for general outdoor visibility.
