PRUNING SHEAR
Pruning shears, also called hand pruners (in American English) or secateurs (in British English), are handheld tools used for pruning plants, particularly woody stems or branches. They are designed to make clean cuts that will promote healthy growth and prevent disease. Pruning shears are smaller and lighter than loppers, making them ideal for precise cuts on branches up to ¾ of an inch in diameter.

Here are some of the factors to consider when choosing pruning shears:
- Blade size: The size of the blade will depend on the diameter of the branches you will be cutting. Pruning shears typically have blades that range from 1 to 2 inches in length.
- Bypass vs. anvil: As mentioned previously, bypass pruners are better for live wood, while anvil pruners can be used for both live and dead wood.
- Handle type: Pruning shears come with a variety of handle types, such as pistol grip, bypass grip, and straight grip. Choose a handle that is comfortable for you to grip and that provides you with good control over the shears.
- Spring mechanism: The spring mechanism helps the blades open after each cut. Choose a pruner with a smooth and easy-to-use spring mechanism.
- Safety features: Some pruning shears come with safety features, such as a locking mechanism that prevents the blades from opening accidentally.
Pruning shears are an essential tool for any gardener or homeowner who wants to keep their plants healthy. When choosing pruning shears, consider the size of the branches you will be cutting, the type of cutting you will be doing, and your personal preferences.
