Bypass Pruners With Titanium-Coated Blades - 1" Cut Capacity

• Titanium-Coated High-Carbon Steel Blades 
• Downward-Angled Bypass Head 
• Forged Aluminum Handles 
• Lifetime Warranty 

These Bypass Pruners With Titanium-Coated Blades by A.M. Leonard are built for clean cuts on live stems up to 1 inch thick, without the sticky drag that slows you down mid-season. The titanium-coated, high-carbon steel blades hold an edge longer and resist rust and corrosion better than bare steel. At 8-1/2 inches long and 10 ounces, they ride that sweet spot of sturdy but not bulky. We keep a pair near the door because they’re comfortable for both quick deadheading and serious shrub work.

The slightly downward blade angle helps you line up cuts in tight branching, especially on roses, hydrangeas, fruiting shrubs, and young trees. Forged aluminum handles with an ergonomic profile reduce hand fatigue during repeat cuts, and the slip-resistant grips help when your gloves are damp. The pruners have a premium pivot bolt for tight and controlled action, plus the sap groove helps reduce gumming when you’re working in resinous or juicy growth.

Product Tips

• Use bypass pruners on live wood for the cleanest cut and faster recovery.
• Make cuts just above a leaf node or outward-facing bud to guide new growth.
• Wipe blades during use if sap builds up, especially on evergreens and soft green stems.
• Add a light oil to the pivot bolt occasionally to keep the action smooth.
• Lock the thumb-latch when carrying or storing to protect the edge and your hands.

FAQs

What makes the titanium coating worth it?

The coating adds extra resistance to rust and corrosion and helps the blades keep a working edge longer between sharpenings.

What can a 1-inch cut capacity handle in the yard?

It’s ideal for most perennial stems, rose canes, small shrub branches, and young tree shoots up to about 1 inch thick.

How do I use these pruners for the cleanest cut?

Place the cutting blade on the plant side you’re keeping, and close in one smooth motion. Avoid twisting at the end of the cut, and reposition if the branch is too hard to finish cleanly.

Do these reduce hand fatigue compared to basic pruners?

Yes. The ergonomic handle shape keeps your hand in a more natural position, which helps during longer pruning sessions.

Is there a warranty?

These pruners are backed by A.M. Leonard’s lifetime warranty program.
