Q: How do ratchet pruners work?
These ratchet pruners engage a ratcheting mechanism once a branch gets too thick to cut in one squeeze, letting you finish the cut in several progressively deeper squeezes instead of forcing it through in one motion.
AB380 - Ratcheting Hand Pruner
This sturdy anvil-style pruner uses a ratcheting mechanism to cut branches up to 3/4" thick with little effort, even for those with limited hand strength.
When encountering thicker branches, the ratcheting mechanism engages, causing each squeeze to cut deeper into the wood and requiring only a few simple pumps to cut through.
Compact at 7 1/2" long overall, it is best suited for small- to medium-size hands. TPR on the handles provides a comfortable, non-slip grip.
The durable carbon-steel blade has a non-stick coating to resist residue build-up.
Excellent value for a practical tool.
These ratchet pruners engage a ratcheting mechanism once a branch gets too thick to cut in one squeeze, letting you finish the cut in several progressively deeper squeezes instead of forcing it through in one motion.
They handle branches up to 3/4" thick, which covers most everyday pruning around the garden.
Yes, the ratcheting action is designed specifically to reduce the hand force needed, splitting a hard cut into several easy squeezes instead of one hard one.
Position the branch in the anvil-style blade and squeeze the handles. If the branch is too thick to cut in one motion, the ratchet engages and lets you finish it in a few more squeezes.
