Why it earns a look
- The blade can be sharpened or replaced.
- The angled head changes the wrist-to-cutting alignment.
Where it asks for a compromise
- Large or awkward cuts can call for a two-handed tool.
A pruning head you can maintain
The replaceable and resharpenable blade is a useful reason to compare this pruner with a simpler disposable-style cutter. The angled head is another detail to consider in the hand. For growth that crowds the opening, move to loppers or a saw instead of forcing the jaws.
Living with it in the garden
Remove sap and plant debris after use.
Close and secure the blades for storage.
