The Bahco ergonomic pruner is a versatile, professional grade tool ideal for all pruning work in the home garden. This pruner comes with smaller-sized handles designed especially for smaller hands. The durable, medium-sized blades are coated with Xylan to prevent rust and reduce friction and are able to cut stems and branches up to 3/4-inch thick. The special angled head design reduces wrist and arm strain; the non-rotating, fiberglass-reinforced plastic handles also feature an upper handle soft grip cover for increased comfort. This pruner comes with a one-handed locking mechanism.
