Pink Traditional Bypass Pruners

• Pink Vinyl-Coated Grips
• Chrome-Plated High-Carbon Bypass Blades
• 1" Cut Capacity 
• Lifetime Warranty

Pink Traditional Bypass Pruners are the classic crew shear style in a color that’s harder to lose in the landscape. Forged aluminum handles keep the tool light in the hand, and the pink vinyl-coated grips add traction when you’re working fast or wearing gloves. Chrome plating on the high-carbon blades helps resist rust, corrosion, and sticky sap, so cleanup is quicker at the end of the day. We’ve found the bright handles pay off when tools get set down in mulch or tall grass.

The bypass blade design is meant for clean cuts on living stems and branches up to 1 inch thick, which covers most pruning jobs. A responsive spring keeps the action smooth from cut to cut, while the adjustable pivot bolt lets you tune blade contact for precise closing. There’s also a soft wire cutter notch on the rear of the cutting blade for small wire cuts when you don’t want to swap tools.

Product Tips

• Use bypass pruners for live wood; they leave a cleaner cut than anvil styles on green stems.
• Set the cutting blade on the plant side you’re keeping, then close in one smooth motion.
• Wipe blades during use if sap builds up, and clean with a rag after the job.
• Lock the pivot mechanism when carrying or storing to protect the blades and your hands.
• If cuts start to feel rough, check the pivot bolt tension before reaching for a sharpener.

FAQs

What makes these different from standard bypass pruners?

These use the same traditional, high-performance layout, but add pink vinyl-coated grips for visibility, an adjustable pivot bolt, and a soft wire cutter notch for extra utility.

How to use Pink Traditional Bypass Pruners?

Open the handles fully, position the branch deep in the jaw (not at the tip), and align the cutting blade on the side you want to keep. Squeeze firmly to finish the cut in one pass, then let the spring reopen the blades. Engage the pivot lock when you’re done.

What can I cut with a 1-inch capacity pruner?

They’re suited for most perennials, roses, shrubs, and young tree growth up to 1 inch in diameter, plus routine deadheading and cleanup work.

Do the blades resist rust and sap buildup?

Yes. The blades are high-carbon steel with chrome plating designed to resist corrosion and sap, and it also makes the blades easier to clean.

Are replacement parts available, and is there a warranty?

Replacement parts are available, and the pruners are covered by A.M. Leonard’s lifetime warranty program.
