This rugged pruner gets the job done season after season, thanks to a solid build and a replaceable blade. Solid, forged steel handles offer superior strength and are enhanced with Softgrip® for a comfortable, cushioned grip. A fully hardened, precision-ground stainless steel blade stays sharp and features a special low-friction coating for smooth cuts, reduced gumming and rust resistance. Plus, the blade can be sharpened for even more lasting value.
