The Bahco professional pruner is a professional grade tool ideal for pruning and training vines and fruit trees, with a larger size and high-tech design for comfortable use by those with larger hands. This pruner is made with 9-inch fiberglass-reinforced handles that are lighter than aluminum but as durable as steel; the bypass design requires less force than a straight cut, making it easier to use and causing less compression damage to the wood. The large blades on these pruners can cut stems and branches up to 1-inch thick; this pruner also features a one-hand steel button locking mechanism.
