Fiskars SoftGrip Bypass Pruning Shears 5/8 in Cut Capacity

Ambidextrous Bypass Pruner

The Fiskars SoftGrip Bypass Pruning Shears are designed for both right and left-handed gardeners tending shrubs, ornamental trees, vines and flowers such as roses. The ambidextrous shape and SoftGrip handle reduce hand fatigue while enhancing comfort and control during extended pruning sessions. The bypass cutting action suits green, living stems up to 5/8 inch diameter, helping minimise crushing for healthier plant growth. A fully hardened, precision-ground steel blade stays sharp through heavy use.

Low-Friction Coated Blade

The blade features a low-friction, rust-resistant coating that allows the pruner to glide smoothly through wood while reducing sap buildup and gumming. This coating supports reliable outdoor performance and helps maintain cutting efficiency over time. The DuraFrame construction provides a lightweight frame that is stronger than steel for lasting value. No additional accessories or software are bundled with the shears.

Check Hand Size and Cut Needs

The supplier description notes a smaller size offering comfort for gardeners with smaller hands, so users with larger hands should verify the grip feels secure before ordering. Confirm that the 5/8 inch cut capacity matches the typical branch thickness in your garden, as the bypass action is intended for live growth rather than dead or dry wood. Ensure you are comfortable with a manual hand tool requiring repeated squeezing force.
