VXB Bearings Pruning Shears

The ratcheting system works in stages, allowing you to make several smaller cuts rather than trying to slice through a thick branch in one go. This multiplies your cutting force, making it much easier to prune branches up to one inch in diameter without straining your hand.

Yes, the ratcheting action is specifically designed to reduce the amount of physical force required to make a cut. Because the tool does the heavy lifting for you, it is generally much easier on the joints than standard spring-loaded bypass pruners.

The neoprene insert acts as a stabilizer. It grips the branch securely while you cut, preventing it from slipping or sliding out of position, which results in a cleaner, more controlled cut.

While these shears are excellent for thicker stems, they are an anvil-style tool, which can sometimes crush delicate, soft-stemmed flowers rather than slicing them cleanly. They are best reserved for woody stems, branches, and general yard maintenance.

To keep the blade in top condition, wipe it down with a damp cloth after each use to remove sap and debris. Because the blade has a nonstick coating, avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface, and apply a light coat of oil occasionally to prevent rust.

Yes, the integrated safety latch is designed for quick, one-handed operation. It allows you to lock the shears securely for safe storage or carry them in your pocket without the blades opening unexpectedly.
