The Bypass Pruner by AMES Tools is a gardener’s perfect companion – it’s a great all-round tool, best for pruning, trimming back, and deadheading live green shoots and stems.

Bypass cutting tools are designed to make a clean, precise cut, which reduces any bruising or damage to live stems during cutting. This manufacturing quality keeps plants healthy while encouraging regrowth. The Bypass Pruner allows gardeners to take care of live plants in confidence.

Soft grips provide excellent comfort for gardeners, and an easy-to-use hook grip locking catch makes it safe for carrying and storage. A volute spring prevents loose foliage from jamming the spring mechanism when in use – maintaining a smooth cut each time.

Designed to last, the AMES Tools cutting and pruning range has been crafted using SK5 Japanese carbon steel. SK5 steel is renowned worldwide for its hardness and good wear resistance, making it the material of choice when it comes to high-quality garden tools. A PTFE finish has been applied to the Bypass Pruner for smooth cutting, rust resistance and lasting sharpness. We’re so confident in the quality of AMES Tools that a 15-year guarantee is applied across the full range.
