Where it asks for a compromise
- The opening is smaller than a one-inch pruner.
A pruner for the smaller cuts on the weekly round
The three-quarter-inch opening suits the scale of work a hand pruner handles most naturally. The grip and bumper are worth comparing with the BP 4250 if comfort and hand fit drive the choice. Bigger branches are a reason to change tool format, rather than stretch the opening.
Living with it in the garden
Remove sap and plant debris after use.
Close and secure the blades for storage.
