Compared with the ordinary high-carbon steel or stainless steel blades commonly used in traditional pruning shears, this Labor-Saving Bypass Loppers is made of SK5 high-carbon steel, which has higher hardness and wear resistance. The blade of SK5 steel is sharper and can easily cut thick branches with a diameter of 15-20mm, and it is not easy to become blunt, curled or broken after long-term use. This means that users can enjoy longer-lasting sharpness and reduce the trouble of frequent grinding or changing blades, which is especially suitable for professional gardening work or high-frequency pruning needs.
When traditional pruning shears cut branches, sap, resin and debris are easy to adhere to the blade, which not only affects the smoothness of cutting, but also causes the blade to rust and increase the difficulty of cleaning. The blade of this pruning shear uses Teflon non-stick coating, which can effectively prevent sap and debris from adhering, making the cutting process smoother. In addition, the Teflon coating also has anti-corrosion properties, reduces metal oxidation, and prolongs the service life of the blade. Users only need to wipe it simply to keep the blade clean, making maintenance more convenient.
Many traditional pruning shears use an all-metal structure. Although they are sturdy, they are heavy and can easily cause hand fatigue after long-term pruning. This labor-saving bypass pruning shear optimizes the structural design and uses a combination of high-strength engineering plastics and metal to significantly reduce the overall weight while ensuring durability. The lightweight design allows users to prune for a long time without feeling sore hands, which is especially suitable for orchard and nursery workers or gardening enthusiasts who need to work continuously.
The handles of traditional pruning shears are mostly made of hard plastic or metal, which are less comfortable to hold and are prone to slipping or causing hand discomfort after long-term use. This pruning shear uses a TPR+PP dual-material handle, which has multiple advantages: First, the TPR soft rubber provides a non-slip and wear-resistant grip, which can be operated steadily even with sweaty palms; second, the handle design can effectively absorb the recoil force during shearing, reduce the impact on the wrist, and reduce fatigue; finally, the ergonomic arc design fits the hand better, further improving the comfort of long-term use.
Low-end products among traditional pruning shears often use an anvil structure, that is, a single-sided blade presses down to fix the cutting board, which is easy to crush plant tissue and affect wound healing. However, this pruning shear adopts a bypass design, with two sharp blades cutting alternately, similar to the working principle of scissors, which can achieve clean cuts and reduce tearing of plants. This design not only makes the pruned plants more beautiful, but also promotes faster wound healing and reduces the risk of pest infection. It is particularly suitable for fine pruning or scenes with high requirements for plant health.
Some traditional pruning shears rely entirely on the user's hand strength, and it is more laborious to cut thick branches. This labor-saving bypass pruning shear may be equipped with a labor-saving lever or a spring booster device, which amplifies the hand force through mechanical principles and can reduce the force requirement by 30%-50%.
