Most bypass pruners in this price bracket use stamped stainless that dulls after a few hundred cuts, but the 50# carbon steel here takes and holds a finer edge—you’ll notice it on the third or fourth pass through a 19mm branch, not just the first one. The geometry is ground with a slightly convex bevel, which actually reduces binding compared to the flat grinds we see on most retail units, and that matters when you’re working with green wood that tends to crush.
Locking mechanism is a simple slide latch, not a rotating collar, so it’s faster to engage one-handed while you’re reaching for the next branch—we’ve had field testers say it’s easier to find by feel than the twist-lock designs. Handle coating is a soft-grip PVC, roughly 2mm thick, and it’s molded onto the 6061 aluminum core rather than slipped over, so it doesn’t peel after a season in a damp shed. The overall length is 215mm, which puts it right at the sweet spot for one-hand operation without sacrificing on 3/4-inch cuts.
We usually have samples ready in 3-5 days, but if you need a rush on a first article for a retailer review, just ask—sometimes our company can bump it to 48 hours if the engraving setup is already dialed in for that color. Production lead time is 7-10 days after order confirmation, but that’s for a standerd 100-piece MOQ; smaller test runs of 25-50 units are possible but you’ll pay a bit more per piece and wait 12-14 days because our company have to slot it around the main production batches.
red anodized finish isn’t just for visibility in the garden—it’s actually a Type II coating about 15 microns thick, which adds some corrosion resisance to the aluminun handle, but don’t rely on it for saltwater environments or constant wet storage. What it does is prevent the coating form chipping off like paint would, and it matches reasonably well with the black carbon steel blade if you’re doing custom laser engraving for a branded tool line (we can do logos up to about 40mm wide on the handle spine).
Laser engraving is a 0.3mm deep etch, so it won’t wear off with normal use, but it does create a slight texture that can trap dirt if you’re working in heavy clay soils—something most buyers don’t think about until they’ve run a few hundred units through a season. Teh MOQ for custom engraving is the same 100 pieces, but we can combine multiple small orders from different resellers into one production batch if you coordinate with us on timing.
We require a minimum of 100 pieces per order. Samples are available in 3-5 business days if you want to check the quality first.
Yes, we offer laser engraving customization. Just send us your logo or text, and we'll add it to the handles.
Production takes 7-10 days after order confirmation. That's pretty quick for a custom run.
We can provide a material certificate for the 50# carbon steel blade and a product compliance report. The HS code is 8201600090 for customs clearance.
It comes on a slider card that's ready for shelf display. Each shear is secured with a safety lock mechanism in the package.
