Frequently Asked Questions

What does the adjustable tension do?

It lets you fine-tune how much resistance the blades have when cutting, so you can match the feel to your hand strength and the material being pruned. This makes the tool comfortable across a range of users and tasks.

How does the safety lock work?

The lock secures the blades in the closed position for safe storage and transport. It engages and releases with a simple slide motion during normal use.

What is the cutting capacity of this pruner?

This pruner has a 1/2in cutting capacity, suitable for standard garden pruning tasks on branches and stems up to half an inch in diameter. Thicker material may bend the blades or require a lopper instead.

Why is die-cast aluminum used for the body?

Die-cast aluminum provides strong, lightweight construction that reduces overall tool weight. This makes it more comfortable to use for extended periods compared to all-steel designs.
