Applications

Perfect for pruning roses, fruit trees, ornamental shrubs, flowering plants, grapevines, berry bushes, and general garden maintenance. Use for deadheading flowers, shaping hedges, removing dead or diseased branches, harvesting flowers and herbs, thinning crowded growth, and maintaining healthy plant structure. Suitable for professional gardeners, landscapers, orchardists, and home gardeners.

Bypass vs. Anvil Pruners

These bypass pruning shears use a scissor-like cutting action where the sharp blade passes by a supporting blade, creating clean, precise cuts. This design is ideal for:

• Live, green wood and fresh growth
• Roses and flowering plants
• Fruit trees and berry bushes
• Any plant where clean cuts promote healing

Bypass pruners make cleaner cuts than anvil-style pruners, reducing damage to plant tissue and promoting faster healing.

Why Choose Ingco?

Ingco is a trusted international brand known for manufacturing quality tools and equipment for professional and DIY use. Ingco pruning shears combine sharp, durable blades with ergonomic design features that reduce fatigue and improve cutting efficiency. Each tool is manufactured to strict quality standards for reliable performance season after season.

Pruning Best Practices

• Make cuts at a 45-degree angle just above a bud or branch junction
• Cut dead or diseased wood back to healthy tissue
• Remove crossing or rubbing branches to improve air circulation
• Prune flowering shrubs at the appropriate time for their bloom cycle
• Clean and disinfect blades between plants to prevent disease spread
• Keep blades sharp for clean cuts that heal quickly

Usage Tips

Position the cutting blade (not the supporting blade) closest to the main plant stem for best results. Open the shears fully and position the branch deep in the jaw for maximum cutting power. Make smooth, firm cuts without twisting. For thicker branches near the maximum capacity, make multiple cuts or use loppers instead. Clean sap and debris from blades regularly during use.

Maintenance Instructions

Clean blades after each use with a damp cloth. Remove sap buildup with rubbing alcohol or specialized sap remover. Sharpen blades regularly with a sharpening stone or file, maintaining the original bevel angle. Apply light oil to blades and pivot point to prevent rust. Tighten adjustment bolt if blades become loose. Store in a dry location with safety lock engaged.
