Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cutting capacity of these shears?

They're rated for a 40mm cutting capacity, sized to handle bonsai branches and comparable cuttings without requiring a larger pruning tool. That capacity keeps the tool compact enough for detailed, close-up work.

Are these shears only for bonsai work?

No, while they're built for crafting bonsai branches, the manufacturer's own description also covers taking other cuttings, making them suited to general precision pruning tasks as well. Growers taking propagation cuttings can reach for the same tool.

How precise are these shears?

Hydrofarm designed them to deliver exact precision in each cut, offering a quick snip while still maintaining control over the cut location. That control matters when a cut needs to land at an exact point on a branch or stem.

Why does cutting precision matter for bonsai and propagation work?

A clean, precise cut reduces stress and damage to the remaining plant tissue, which matters both for bonsai shaping and for taking healthy cuttings for propagation. A ragged cut can slow healing or reduce a cutting's odds of rooting successfully.
